A time travel story and conspiracies
The plot takes place in Tokyo and accompanies an agent of the secret organization Adamas, specializing in investigating anomalous phenomena. During a mission in Shinjuku, the protagonist faces a Digimon and, soon after, is involved in a mysterious explosion. When awakening, he discovers that he has returned eight years in the past.
The player will need to unravel the secrets of this time trip and find a way to avoid the collapse of the world. History unfolds between two universes: the human world and the digital world, called Iliad. The interaction between these realities will be one of the great highlights of the game.
Detailed exploitation of Tokyo and the Digital World
Unlike previous games, Time Stranger focuses on Tokyo's detailed recreation, especially the districts of Shinjuku and Akihabara. Thus, the aim of the developers was to offer a more immersive experience, allowing players to explore realistic and complex environments.
The digital world will also receive a highlight. Iliad's central town will be one of the game's main scenarios, full of Digimon and exploration locations. According to the producers, players will be able to move often between the two worlds, which will make the experience richer and more dynamic.
Choose between two protagonists and face unique challenges
Players will be able to choose between two protagonists: Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki, both agents of Adamas. The decision will influence the narrative, as the unsyed character will assume the role of operator, providing remote support. This format allows players to experience different approaches throughout history.
In addition, another prominent character will be Inori Misono, a student who joins the protagonist after a remarkable event in his past. Your partner Digimon, Aegiomon, will be a key piece in the plot and will accompany the player both on exploration and battles.
Battle System and New Mechanical Mechanics of Digimon Story
The combat system will maintain traditional mechanics by shift, with battles against enemies digimon upon contact with them on the map. Thus, this approach, called Symbol Incounter, promises to make confrontations more natural and less random.
At the beginning of the game, the player will be able to choose an initial Digimon between Patamon, Gomamon or Demidevimon. Throughout the adventure, it will be possible to capture and train hundreds of Digimon, taking advantage of the largest list of creatures ever seen in the franchise.
Olympos XII and the expansion of the Digimon universe
Another unprecedented element will be the introduction of Olympos XII, a group of 12 Digimon protectors of the digital world. According to developers, these characters will play a central role in history, something little explored in previous games in the series.
With improved graphics, detailed animations and a deep plot, Digimon Story: Time Stranger promises to be the most ambitious experience of the franchise. The game will be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
