Bandai Namco Entertainment has shared some new Digimon Story: Time Stranger gameplay footage, showcasing more of the RPG’s detailed world, in addition to teasing several previously unconfirmed digital monsters. This early look at the upcoming game arrives less than three months ahead of Digimon Story: Time Stranger‘s multi-platform release.
Time Stranger is an upcoming Digimon RPG that was originally announced all the way back in December 2017. As such, it’s poised to claim the record for the longest development period among all completed Digimon games once it finally hits the market in October 2025.

Bandai Namco pulls back the curtain on the Digimon Story: Time Stranger Collector’s Edition, which carries a hefty price tag for fans to consider.
Ahead of its fall launch, Bandai Namco shared some new gameplay footage from the upcoming title on July 18. The short clip offers another look at Digimon Story: Time Stranger‘s Digital World: Illiad, the realm parallel to the human world, where digital monsters reside. The footage specifically highlights the Factorial Area, an industrial-themed location resembling an active volcano crater, with a wide array of facilities built into its walls.

Fans analyzing the newly released clip have identified several digital monsters not yet officially confirmed for Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Notably, Loader Leomon and Caprimon both appear in the clip, seen around the five-second mark. To the immediate left of the two Caprimon in this segment, a small creature with round red hands or gloves—possibly Mamemon—can also be seen. Overall, the Factorial Area gives the impression of a detailed, lived-in world where Digimon have a place and purpose, as is the case with all the best RPG entries in the long-running franchise.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger is scheduled for an October 3 launch. The monster-catching RPG will be simultaneously released for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It is already available for pre-order, starting at $69.99 for the base game. A $99.99 Deluxe Edition is also on offer, including a Season Pass that promises access to a trio of post-release Episode Packs. While all three have been promised to introduce additional Digimon, that’s the full extent of what Bandai Namco shared about them to date. Finally, the Deluxe Edition includes a so-called Season Pass bonus in the form of the Farm Item Golden Moai, as well as the Costume Cyber Sleuth Set bonus.
A $119.99 Ultimate Edition of Digimon Story: Time Stranger is also available. This version of the game includes all the Deluxe Edition bonuses, together with four costume sets, the Cyber Sleuth BGM Pack, and a pair of early unlocks in the form of Special Agumon and Gabumon. Console users can also pre-order a physical version of the RPG and, if desired, later upgrade digitally to either the Deluxe or Ultimate Editions.
