A new Digimon RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger has been announced, with the game scheduled to release in 2025. The game is developed by Bandai Namco and will release exclusively on the PlayStation 5. The official description of the game:
Embark on an adventure that spans across worlds and even time itself. From the human world to the Digital World, collect and raise a diverse array of Digimon to fight in turn-based battles. Explore the eternal bond between humans and Digimon to unravel the mystery of your world’s collapse – and save it once again.
The announcement trailer features numerous iconic digimon, including Agumon and his evolved forms. You can watch it below.
Digimon (Digital Monsters) is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Bandai in 1997, originally starting as a virtual pet similar to Tamagotchi. It has since expanded into anime, video games, trading card games, and manga, becoming one of the most recognizable monster-based franchises, often compared to Pokémon.
The Digimon anime debuted in 1999 with Digimon Adventure, which was produced by Toei Animation in collaboration with WiZ, Bandai, and Fuji Television. It was the first anime series in the Digimon franchise and received numerous adaptations, video games, and spin-offs. Crunchyroll describes the story for the anime:
While at summer camp, seven kids come across seven Digivices and are transported to a strange digital world. In this new world they make friends with creatures that call themselves Digimon who were born to defend their world from various evil forces.
We had the opportunity to interview the Digimon franchise producer Hiromi Seki at last year’s New York Comic Con. She shared interesting insights about the origins of Digimon, its unique evolution system that sets it apart from Pokémon, and the franchise’s future with Digimon Adventure Beyond.
