Tamagotchi is coming back into our lives in 2018 and it’s about damn time. The digital pets will be living inside a new app on your phone so you can embrace that Tamagotchi life 24/7.

Throwback to 1997, when Bandai‘s virtual pet phenomenon ‘Tamagotchi’ took the world by storm. Tamagotchi pets stole our hearts and demanded our undivided attention, and they’re back bby.

Next year we can take on the responsibility of virtual pet ownership with My Tamagotchi Forever. It’s set up to be an app for iOS and Android devices. It will be free to play (hallelujah) and just like the OG Tamagotchi, but better.

Just like the classic game, you’ll get to feed your Tamagotchi, clean up after it, play with it and basically just try to keep it alive. Plus you can make friends with other characters and be a part of the first Tamagotchi town. Legit is Tamagotchi the next Facebook? I think so.

The trailer for My Tamagotchi Forever is playing on our nostalgic heart strings, before taking a turn towards literal toilet humour, but whatever we are pumped for the Tamagotchi comeback #BringIt.
