It appears that Digimon Story Time Stranger is gearing up to be among the most daring Digimon games we’ve seen so far, an assertion supported by the extended duration of its production timeline.
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! In a recent sneak peek from GameWatch Japan (translated by Automaton), producer Ryosuke Hara revealed that this upcoming game has been meticulously crafted for approximately seven to eight years! Can you believe it? This level of dedication really gets my gaming juices flowing!
In a conceptual sense, the game Time Stranger debuted approximately at the same period as Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory was launched, which happened in the year 2017.
Apart from Time Stranger appearing significantly improved compared to earlier games, Hara explains that it was primarily the intricate development of the game’s narrative that delayed its release.
As an enthusiastic supporter, I can share that the delay in launch was primarily due to my team’s dedication to creating a rich and immersive game setting, aimed at vividly portraying the core theme: the profound connection between humans and Digimon. This involved not only weaving an engaging story but also crafting a world centered around the Olympos XII, which serves as the heart of our gaming experience.
Without a doubt, if you’re not already versed in the franchise, this might not hold much significance. However, it’s undeniably clear that they’ve put in considerable effort perfecting every little detail. This meticulous work could certainly pique the interest of Digimon fans.
In this game, Time Stranger, we have an opportunity that hasn’t been seen before in previous Digimon games. For instance, there are more than 450 unique monsters to discover and nurture, which is the biggest collection ever for the franchise. It’s hard to overstate how long it would take to create all those models using contemporary graphics.
This journey has been quite an extraordinary and challenging one for the developers, as Hara puts it so eloquently: “I truly believe that it was their unwavering passion, or perhaps their relentless determination, that allowed us to create this game.
I’m crossing my fingers, so let’s hope the passion for Digimon is evident in the final product – a game set to launch on PlayStation 5 on October 3rd, as planned.
Could it surprise you to learn that Time Stranger had been under development for such a lengthy period? It makes me spin just imagining all those Digimon in the comment section down below.
