Making and release

The game was first announced in a December 2013 issue of Japanese V Jump magazine for PlayStation Vita.[4] A port of the game and its sequel for Nintendo Switch and Windows was released on October 18, 2019 as Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition.[5] Media.Vision developed the game, and Suzuhito Yasuda, who had previously provided character designs for Digimon World Re:Digitize, handled the character art.[4][1] Masafumi Takada composed the game's music, while Jun Fukuda handled the sound design.[6]

Sound Prestige Records issued a commercial soundtrack with 60 tracks in Japan on March 29, 2015.[6] On December 20, 2018, Cyber Sleuth was taken down from the US PSN store; it was later removed from Europe and South East Asia at the close of January 2019.[7]

What the cited sources add

An Anime News Network article from October 2014 stated the game involves an active turn-based battle system with combo attacks using multiple Digimon.[1] After diving into a network dungeon, the player can hack through security by collecting Digimon.[1] The article stated that artist Suzuhito Yasuda created character designs for the game, just as he had done for the PSP title Digimon World Re:Digitize and its 3DS port Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode.[1]
