Bandai Namco and Media.Vision announced a brand new Digimon adventure during today’s State of Play showcase. Digimon Story: Time Stranger is set to arrive for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam) later this year, and is the first new entry in the Story series since 2018’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory.

Details are still pretty scarce, but we do know that the game will feature turn-based battles, Digimon‘s popular monster-taming, and a story that unfolds across the parallel human world and the Digital World: Iliad, exploring the bonds between humans and Digimon. Below you can find the brand-new announcement trailer, an overview of the game, and the first screenshots of the latest Digimon adventure.


DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER is designed to be the perfect entry point to the series for RPG enthusiasts. The game’s multiple settings in both the human and digital worlds sets the stage for exploring the deep bond between people in the human world and creatures called Digimon, who reside in the Digital World: Iliad. Players must work together with them, forging bonds, and evolving their Digimon’s abilities to unravel the game’s mystery and save the worlds. To do so, they journey between the two worlds, even across time and venture deep into the intricate Digital World revealing never-before-seen elements of the world of Digimon.

Fortunately for players, they can tame and recruit the Digimon they discover in their journey, training them to fight. Customization and developing strong bonds with Digimon is a unique element to the game, and the key to success in strategic, turn-based combat. With an intriguing story and setting, memorable characters including a vast array of Digimon with unique abilities to discover, updated battle systems and more, DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER is the next evolution for the beloved series and a must-play game for fans of anime-inspired RPGs. 

DIGIMON STORY TIME STRANGER will include both Japanese and English VO with localizations in English, Neutral Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Kyle is just embarking on his main quest at RPGFan and couldn't be more excited to join the team. He discovered the RPGFan community a couple of years ago and, after growing up in Western Canada as a "jock," was thrilled to realize that there were others in the world who learned roman numerals as a teenager thanks to the Final Fantasy series. Contributing to the news team is his main objective at the site and it is his goal to project the confidence of Ron Burgundy while keeping everyone from realizing he might just be Brick Tamland.
