Digimon Story: Time Stranger: More Details Emerge

DIGIMON CON 2025 also shed more light on Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Producer Ryosuke Hara discussed the game's history, characters, and the special moves of featured Digimon.

Hara confirmed that players can choose from three classic Digimon Adventure Digimon as starters: Patamon, Gomamon, and DemiDevimon—a choice previously speculated by fans based on promotional art.

The trailer showcased over 450 Digimon, including Angewomon, Gallantmon, and the ever-popular Agumon, making Time Stranger the largest roster in the series, surpassing the 330 Digimon in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory.

Hara also revealed the game's story and protagonists: players can choose between Dan Yuki or Kanan Yuki, secret agents for ADAMAS, an organization combating threats to both humans and Digimon. Inori Misono and her partner Aegiomon join as key characters. As the title suggests, time travel plays a significant role in the narrative.

The event also featured announcements for the Digimon Anime's 25th Anniversary PV, new TCG starter decks and booster packs, and a new anime series, Digimon Beatbreak, premiering in October 2025. The future looks bright for the Digimon franchise!

Digimon Story: Time Stranger is slated for release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for updates!
