New Digimon Game Announced During PlayStation’s State of Play

by


News Flash: The much-anticipated title, Digimon Story Time Stranger, has been formally unveiled by PlayStation! This upcoming adventure will be available on the PlayStation 5 in the year 2025. To get a sneak peek, you can watch the game’s debut trailer right up above.

It’s been quite some time since Digimon enthusiasts had a fresh video game to play within the franchise. The visual novel RPG titled “Digimon Survive” was finally released in 2022, which is a significant delay compared to its intended release date back in 2019. The game received generally positive reviews overall, but it may not appeal to Digimon fans who aren’t fond of visual novel games. Instead, many prefer the “Digimon Story” series for their video game Digimon experiences. For quite a while now, fans have been eagerly waiting for a new installment in this series, and recent leaks hint that we might be getting one soon.

The latest game reminiscent of the Digimon Story series was released in 2017 for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The title was Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory, which received mixed reviews from critics but generally positive feedback from fans. Despite this, it sold well, prompting Bandai to announce the development of another Digimon Story game in December 2017. However, since that announcement, there’s been little news about the anticipated sequel in the Digimon Story series, causing some fans to speculate if the project was canceled.

Just prior to the State of Play event, a GameStop listing hints at an upcoming game titled “Digimon Story: Time Stranger”. The original post’s enthusiasm led them to initially misunderstand the title, but a subsequent edit has clarified it.

The list displays upcoming games that can be pre-ordered for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at a cost of $69.99 each. These titles are set to launch on December 31st, 2025. At the moment, there’s no picture associated with the preorder listing, but it appears that the highly anticipated new Digimon Story game is indeed arriving this year, based on this information.

Fans are Ready for Digimon Story: Time Stranger

As the eagerly awaited announcement by PlayStation’s State of Play approaches, Digimon enthusiasts are igniting excitement. These gamers have fond memories of playing previous titles like “Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth” and “Digimon Story: Hacker’s Memory”. Despite a nearly decade-long gap between releases, fans can’t wait to revisit this gaming world once more.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting a fresh story-based Digimon game for quite some time now, with the last news about it dating back years. Initially, there were whispers of a game featuring the Twelve Olympians set in the Digital World. However, until official confirmation arrives regarding the leaked Digimon Story game coming out this year, we can’t be sure if these details still apply. Intriguingly, the game developer Kazumasa Habu has expressed interest in incorporating some form of online gaming, suggesting that multiplayer or PvP elements might be included in this upcoming game.

Currently, based on the GameStop listing alone, we can confirm that the upcoming game will be a 3rd person adventure title, which aligns with past games in the Digimon Story series. Given similarities to previous releases, it’s nothing unexpected. More details should emerge from either the State of Play or an official announcement by Bandai Namco. Assuming GameStop isn’t fabricating products, it seems that Digimon enthusiasts can anticipate a new Digimon Story game in the near future.
