At last, the anticipated release date for Digimon Story: Time Stranger has been set! On October 3rd, players will journey back to the Digital World with a crucial mission aimed at averting the destruction of both worlds. However, there’s still much we don’t know about this game in the lead-up to its release. That means more tantalizing glimpses are on their way. Although several Digimon in the game have been showcased, details about the human characters in Digimon Story: Time Stranger remain scarce. To fill that void, Bandai Namco is now unveiling four new time agents at once!
Regardless of some not-so-perfect details regarding frame rates, enthusiasts of Digimon are still eagerly anticipating the release of a fresh Digimon Story game. When the game was initially unveiled, we were introduced to its protagonists, Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki, who are ADAMAS agents. The player will assume the role of these ADAMAS agents, delving into unusual occurrences that could potentially shatter the balance between the digital and human realms. However, it’s not just our playable characters who are taking on this investigation. Recently, @digimon_games has unveiled a series of new human agents through X. Each newly introduced character comes with their background story and image, leading fans to speculate that there might be more to them than what appears on the surface.
The revelation unfolded in two stages. Initially, Public Safety Investigators Kodai Kuremi and Shota Kuroi made an appearance, followed by a delay of several hours where Monica Simmons and Ashuna Shiroki joined them. Prior to delving into the game’s intricacies, conversations about the agents’ striking appearances in their well-tailored uniforms ensued among players. The theories proposed by these gamers were, without a doubt, quite peculiar.
Digimon Fans Convinced Newly Revealed Human Characters Have a Big Secret
As a fellow gamer, let me give you a heads-up: if you haven’t experienced the world of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, we’re about to venture into territory laden with spoilers. This game is nearly a decade old, but its twists still hold up. Remember, I’ve warned you! The intriguing theory surrounding Time Stranger has roots deeply entwined in the unexpected plot twist found in Cyber Sleuth.
Essentially, players doubt that the overly-polished human characters in Digimon Story games are genuinely human due to past experiences where characters were revealed as Digimon in disguise, such as in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. Consequently, players have become skeptical of humans in these games and are quick to suspect that they might be controlled by Digimon, with one Reddit user summing it up as “1000% these are possessed by Digimon.” In fact, many gamers are now delving into their own theories about which specific Digimon could be masquerading as Public Safety employees.
Thus far, the leading fan theories for each character’s Digimon counterpart are:
- Kodai Kuremi as Gankoomon
- Shoto Kuroi as Hackmon
- Asuna Shiroki as Lady Devimon
- Monica Simmons as Angewomon
The various theories about these characters are formed through the introduction of each new agent and their brief descriptions. For example, some fans believe that Kuremi resembles Gankoomon, while Kuroi’s apparent admiration for him suggests he could secretly be Hackmon. Similarly, Shiroki and Simmons have character designs that somewhat resemble human versions of those two Digimon. Whether they are actually disguised Digimon or not, these characters are likely to be significant in the plot.
As a die-hard Digimon Story fan, I’m intrigued to discover if the new game is going to try pulling off that shocking twist again. Fans are on high alert and might be quick to suspect, but let’s not jump to conclusions just yet. These characters could very well turn out to be exactly who they seem. We’ll just have to wait until October 3rd when we can get our hands on Time Stranger to unravel the mystery.
