Excitement is brewing in the gaming community as a new Digimon video game, titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, appears to have been leaked through GameStop just ahead of tonight’s PlayStation State of Play presentation. The leak was first spotted by Gematsu, who shared listings enabling fans to pre-order the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Although the GameStop pages lack images or gameplay details, the timing suggests an official announcement could be imminent.
The leak comes mere hours before Sony’s latest State of Play, which promises 40 minutes of content. While Sony has kept details under wraps, the inclusion of Digimon Story: Time Stranger in tonight’s lineup wouldn’t be surprising, especially given the sudden appearance of pre-order listings.
The Digimon Story series has a rich history that dates back to the original Digimon Story on the Nintendo DS in the mid-2000s. Over the years, Bandai Namco has expanded the series across various platforms, with notable titles such as Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth in 2015 and its follow-up, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory in 2017. The Complete Edition, released in 2019, bundled both Cyber Sleuth games, offering fans a comprehensive experience.
In these games, players dive into the world of Digimon, forming bonds with digital monsters and engaging in RPG battles. While fans have been eagerly awaiting a new installment, the last major announcement came in 2022 when franchise producer Kazumashu Habu teased a new Story game. In the interim, titles like Digimon Survive have kept the franchise alive, but the potential reveal of Digimon Story: Time Stranger could signal the end of a long wait for a true sequel.
