Digimon Story: Time Stranger Footage Shows Off New Areas & Debut Digimon

by

26th June is the anniversary of the initial launch of digital pet toys that eventually gave rise to the Digimon franchise. Back in 1997, these digital creatures made their debut, paving the way for the anime, video games, and trading card game we enjoy nowadays. To commemorate this special occasion for Digimon, a live stream titled “Digimon Times” revealed numerous thrilling updates regarding the franchise. Among these developments are details about the forthcoming mobile game, “Digimon Alysion”, updates on the card game, and reminders of upcoming events. However, the highlight of the celebration was the unveiling of additional gameplay footage for the upcoming title, “Digimon Story: Time Stranger”.

In general, previous trailers of Digimon Story: Time Stranger have primarily focused on the exploration of Tokyo and the main hub in Illiad, as well as brief snippets of Digimon animations during introductions of the game’s 450 digital monsters. However, we haven’t seen much of the vast world of Time Stranger up until now. Today, that gap was filled as the Digimon Times stream unveiled not just one, but two new locations within the game. You can watch the latest, never-before-seen gameplay footage for Time Stranger in the replay from the Digimon Times stream below:

The video unveils not one, but two fresh locations, in addition to providing a detailed glimpse into one of the upcoming Digimon for Time Stranger. Watching these new locations has got me excited about the game’s potential for a larger scope compared to its predecessors. Similar to past city scenes, these areas seem lively and full of energy.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger Reveals Gear Forest & Abyss Area

In the freshly unveiled clips, we get a glimpse into two distinct locations that players will traverse as they embark on their Digimon adventures. Each location boasts its own special ecosystems and native Digimon, lending a sense of variety and vitality to the game world. Let’s take a look at these fresh territories.

(Note: “reveals” can be replaced with “shows”, “presents”, or “uncovers”. “Biome” could also be replaced with “ecosystem” or “habitat”, depending on the specific context and preference.)

Gear Forest

A region teeming with levitating trees and Digimon adapted to the forest environment awaits explorers in this biome. As adventurers traverse through this realm en route to the World Tree, they’ll engage in battles against hostile Digimon, encounter allies along the way, and ultimately protect the tree that powers the Digital World: Illiad. It appears as though a threat is trying to harm that vital tree, so players will likely need to join forces to safeguard it.

Abyss Area

Discovering this fresh area transports players into an underwater paradise brimming with Digimon aquatic creatures. Gaming enthusiasts can delve into a levitating settlement and traverse the expansive ocean beyond it.

In Abyss Area of Digimon Story: Time Stranger, gamers will come across a freshly introduced Digimon – SkullSeadramon. This bone-structured fish was initially teased on social media, but the latest footage offers a closer look at its movements. It’s one of the game’s colossal Digimons and promises quite a fight.
