A brand new Digimon video game titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger appears to have leaked via GameStop ahead of tonight’s PlayStation State of Play presentation.
Gematsu spotted and shared listings for the mysterious project earlier today, publishing store links that can seemingly allow interested players to pre-order copies for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The GameStop pages come with none images or gameplay details related to the currently unannounced Digimon Story: Time Stranger, though it is probably not long before we hear something more official.
The leak arrives just hours before Sony’s latest State of Play presentation kicks off. Although no details about what the show will include has been revealed, the corporate has teased plans to incorporate 40 minutes of content. With a lot of room for reveals and the Digimon Story: Time Stranger pre-order listings popping up mere hours ago, it wouldn’t be much of a shock to see the digital monster series make an appearance of some kind.
The Digimon Story series existed long before a possible recent entry made its solution to GameStop’s website, after all. Longtime fans will remember Bandai Namco’s video game spin-off earning its name with the unique Digimon Story for the Nintendo DS back within the mid-2000s. A laundry list of installments for a wide range of platforms have released within the years since, with recent examples including 2015’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and 2017’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory. A Complete Edition bundled in each Cyber Sleuth titles in 2019.
Past entries have seen players warped into the world of Digimon to befriend and work with monsters in RPG gameplay that sees them battling others. Nonetheless, outside of an announcement that saw franchise producer Kazumashu Habu teasing a brand new Story game in 2022, players have been left with no brand-new installment for years. Releases like Digimon Survive definitely helped fill the void within the time since, but it surely appears the wait for an actual continuation will finally come to an end if Digimon Story: Time Stranger officially rears its head soon.
