Bandai Namco and Media.Vision have just released a brand-new seven-minute “Systems” trailer for Digimon Story: Time Stranger — and it’s packed with gameplay details that Digimon fans won’t want to miss! From strategic battles to time-travel twists, the trailer gives us a deep look at what to expect when the game hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam on October 3.
A Fresh Take on Digimon Story with Time-Travel and Parallel Worlds
Set in modern-day Tokyo, Time Stranger starts with a catastrophic explosion. The protagonist, an agent from a covert organization, is suddenly flung eight years into the past after encountering a mysterious Digimon. From there, the story unfolds across multiple timelines and worlds, blending science fiction and fantasy with the familiar monster-taming charm of the Digimon franchise.
Players will travel between the human world and the Digital World of Iliad, encountering richly detailed environments, interactive elements, and character-driven quests. This isn’t just a new Digimon game — it’s a time-hopping, fate-shifting narrative experience.
Gameplay Highlights: Strategy, Customization, and 450+ Digimon
The trailer goes deep into combat mechanics and game systems. Here are some standout features:
- Strategic Turn-Based Combat: Battles are turn-based but fast-paced, with an emphasis on tactical planning and synergy between Digimon.
- Over 450 Digimon: Players can recruit and train a massive roster of Digimon, each with customization options that affect stats, skills, and evolution paths.
- Bond-Driven Power-Ups: The stronger your connection with your Digimon, the more powerful and unique your team becomes.
- Interactive Environments: Whether in Tokyo or the Digital World, players can interact with objects, unlock side quests, and influence the story.
The trailer also shows off the game’s anime-inspired art direction, cinematic cutscenes, and UI improvements tailored for next-gen hardware.
