by

Enthusiasts of Digimon were ecstatic to learn that after a decade, a fresh installment of the Digimon Story series is on its way. The release date for Digimon Story: Time Stranger is set for December, though details about the game have been scarce until now. However, during yesterday’s Digimon Convention livestream, producer Ryosuke Hara disclosed a wealth of new information about the upcoming Digimon video game in a 20-minute segment. In this discussion, Hara offered insightful details regarding the game’s main characters, Digimon companions, and much more.

It’s expected that the game “Digimon Story: Time Stranger” will come out in the year 2025; however, the specific launch date hasn’t been definitively announced yet. Initially, the PlayStation store listed December 31st as the release date, but this could have been a placeholder and has since been taken down. Unfortunately, during Digimon Con, no exact release date for “Digimon Story: Time Stranger” was disclosed.

To summarize, the presentation was jam-packed with additional intriguing details about the game. Following a repeat of the initial game trailer that was shown during the February PlayStation State of Play, the Digimon Story segment delved further into what fans can anticipate from the upcoming game. Now, we have a better understanding of the game’s narrative, including the main characters and their companion Digimon. The setting for Digimon Story: Time Stranger will encompass both the Human World, focusing on Shinjuku and Akihabara, and the Digital World: Illiad. Unlike its predecessor, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, this new Digimon Story will feature more frequent trips to the Digital World, distinguishing it from the previous game which seldom took tamers into the Digital World itself.

Protagonists and Partner Digimon in Digimon Story: Time Stranger

In the game “Digimon Story: Time Stranger,” we’ve given names to our main characters. They are Dan Yuki and his sister Kanan Yuki. These two are secret agents working for ADAMAS, an organization dedicated to investigating and resolving peculiar occurrences. Since the trailer describes Digimon as these peculiar occurrences, or anomalies, the link is evident. Regardless of which protagonist gamers select initially, they will both play significant roles in the storyline.

Besides the primary characters, Hara also unveiled some significant figures such as Inori Misono and her Digimon counterpart, Aegiomon. Notably, it’s confirmed that the three Digimon depicted in the promotional image will function as companions for the protagonists too. These Digimon are likely to be recognizable to fans of the Digimon anime, as they include Patamon, Gomamon, and DemiDevimon. Players will get to pick one of these three initial options as their first Digimon companion.

How Many Digimon Appear in Digimon Story: Time Stranger?

Beyond your initial Digital companion, players can expect to meet additional friends and foes as they progress. In the game Olympos XII Digimon Protectors, the guardians of the Digital World are included, but there’s more! As stated by Hara, the game boasts a collection of 450 Digimon. This total includes digivolved forms, making it an increase compared to the approximately 330 Digimon found in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.

In a fresh video by Bandai Namco, we were privileged to catch a glimpse of some unique abilities the star Digimon will exhibit in the game. This, combined with the unveiling of characters, has significantly enhanced the appeal of Digimon Story: Time Stranger , surpassing even the intrigue sparked by the first promotional trailer.
