'''Medarot 8''' is an upcoming Medarot RPG for the Nintendo 3DS, set to be released in Japan on August 28, 2014.

The game will feature a new cast of characters and over 200 Medarots to collect. Like previous games, it will be released in Kabuto and Kuwagata versions where the player starts with [[Metabee]] or [[Rokusho]], respectively.

The story follows a new protagonist named Salt ({{r|ソルト|Soruto}}) and his adventures as part of the Laurel Detective Agency, which investigates Medarot-related crimes. 

== Fan-made Medarot contest ==

A contest for fans to create their own original Medarot (or "OriMeda") for Medarot 8 is currently being held on Niconico Seiga (more information [http://info.nicovideo.jp/seiga/medarot8/ here]). The top three winning designs will be added to the game as downloadable content. As an extra incentive, everyone who enters will also receive a Star Medal and a downloadable battle music track (Medarot 2's "Strike Enemy") in the game after it is released. The deadline for the contest is August 3, 2014.

== Pre-order bonus ==

Players who pre-order the game will receive a soundtrack CD featuring new music tracks used in Medarot 8. The soundtracks will feature completely different tracklists and artwork depending on the version.
