Digimon Story: Time Stranger Shows Off Impressive New Gameplay Footage

by

Enthusiasts of Digimon have been on tenterhooks for additional updates regarding the upcoming “Digimon Story: Time Stranger”. As of now, it’s slated for release sometime this year; however, a specific date has yet to be announced. Apart from the initial trailer and some narrative details, there hasn’t been much unveiled about this highly anticipated new installment in the Digimon Story series. However, today, a fresh video on the official Digimon YouTube channel offered nearly 5 minutes of genuine gameplay footage from “Digimon Story: Time Stranger”. And here’s some fantastic news for fellow Digimon fans – the visuals appear breathtaking.

This video primarily serves as a historical overview of the Digimon Story series, offering a nostalgic journey for both history enthusiasts and Digimon fans. However, the title’s reference to a lookback might deceive you, as it also presents approximately 10 minutes of exclusive, never-before-seen gameplay footage from Digimon Story: Time Stranger. This extended segment is packed with around 5 minutes of in-game footage that gamers can immerse themselves in. Frankly, it looks quite impressive. You can watch it for yourself starting at approximately 10:12 in the video below.

For English speakers joining us, although the video is spoken in Japanese, you can turn on English subtitles to keep up with Terriermon’s discussion. However, the main delight lies in getting a comprehensive and immersive exploration of the world found within Digimon Story: Time Stranger.

New Gameplay Footage Shows the Digimon Story: Time Stranger Glow-Up

Digimon had a clear plan, guiding us through scenes reminiscent of past Digimon Story games before unveiling fresh footage. Although Cyber Sleuth still holds up well for its decade-old design, it falls short in comparison to the captivating visuals we see in Time Stranger. Mostly, the gameplay showcases the game’s rendition of Shinjuku, which was also the starting point for Cyber Sleuth. As we progress, the differences in graphics over a decade become apparent. The cityscape and the two playable characters appear significantly more detailed and realistic.

For the first time in the Digimon Story series, player characters such as Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki are traversing the game world in Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Scenes from various parts of the city provide glimpses of their movement. What makes this particularly exciting is the introduction of a new feature – free camera rotation. Unlike previous games, this allows players to explore the Digital World at their leisure, enhancing immersion in the game.

Throughout the video, we primarily observe the character traversing the world instead of engaging in battles or unraveling the storyline; yet, it offers us the most comprehensive glance at the game yet. In this expedition, various recognizable Digimon from the anime series make an appearance, which is sure to excite fans.

The footage predominantly highlights the main character wandering through the world rather than depicting combat or story developments; however, it provides us with the most extensive sneak peek at the game so far. Along the way, we come across several iconic Digimon from the anime, which should thrill fans.

Absolutely, the video subtly jokes about everyone being eager for the release date, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been disclosed yet. However, considering the substantial gameplay footage shown, I suspect we might not have long before the Digimon Story: Time Stranger hits the shelves. In the meantime, at least we can take comfort in knowing that the visual aspect of the game promises to make the wait worthwhile.
