Plot

Players assume the role of either Shu (シュウ) or Kizuna (キズナ), male and female Japanese fifth-graders respectively, who have just moved to a new district.[1] After witnessing a luminous object falling into the mountains during a fireworks ceremony, they are transported to the Digital World, where they meet their Digimon partners. They are joined by classmates Hiroyuki (ヒロユキ), a curious troublemaker, and Asuka (アスカ), a caring, older-sister type, along with Hiroyuki's second-grade younger sister Yui (ユイ) and her friend, a first-grader named Takuto (タクト).[2] Together, they must aid their Digimon companions while thwarting a group of villains named Uno, Dos, and Tres.[3]

In November 2009, Bandai Namco Games launched a teaser website with a countdown to the reveal of a new title referred to only as "RPG_LOST" and "The RPG that will return".[4] On November 20, the timer reached zero and officially revealed Digimon Story: Lost Evolution, along with a release date set for the following year.[5] The game received a final release date the following April, along with an official website that revealed additional content as visitors completed minigames.[6]
