Game Details Revealed at Bandai Namco Summer Showcase 2025

During the recent Bandai Namco Summer Showcase on July 3, producer Ryonosuke Hara provided extensive gameplay details for this monster-collecting RPG.

Hara emphasized the game's dual appeal for veteran players and newcomers: "While longtime fans will recognize familiar elements, we've designed Time Stranger as an ideal starting point for those new to Digimon games or the franchise overall."

The narrative follows players investigating mysterious events in Tokyo before an explosion sends them eight years into the past. Hara described the journey as "bridging both human and digital worlds while working to prevent both realities from collapsing." He added, "The story's core explores bonds that transcend dimensions - a fundamental Digimon theme we're expanding upon."

The showcase highlighted several gameplay improvements including:

• An expanded Digital world with enhanced detail
• Revamped elemental and attribute combat system
• Return of the fan-favorite DigiFarm feature
• New Cross Arts ability for combo attacks and support actions
• Over 450 available Digimon to train and evolve
• Updated turn-based battle mechanics

Hara particularly emphasized the evolution system's depth and its impact on strengthening Digimon partners. Digimon Story: Time Stranger launches October 3 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For continued updates, follow our ongoing coverage of the title.
