So far, Bandai Namco has only announced a Digimon Story: Time Stranger standard edition that includes the base game on your platform of choice. You can preorder physical PS5 and Xbox copies at Amazon and GameStop. Digital preorders are also available on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam. Note that the final box art has not yet been revealed.
While Digimon Story: Time Stranger appears to be an all-new storyline within the series, the Digimon Story franchise has been around since the Game Boy Advance. The latest prior releases in the series are Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth and its prequel Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory, both of which feature similar turn-based combat and story presentation as Time Stranger. If you’re looking to play them before the new game is out, you can grab both in a single package with the Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition, which is available for just $25.45 on Nintendo Switch, or $43.49 on PC via Fanatical (was $50).
Several other recent Digimon games are also on sale right now, including Digimon Survive, which melds a visual novel narrative with tactical combat segments. You can grab it on Nintendo Switch for $22, PS4 for $13.89, or on PC for $50.88 (was $60). There’s also Digimon World: Next Order, which is the latest entry in Digimon’s other long-running RPG series. Digimon World: Next Order focuses more on the monster-taming aspects of the series and features a unique real-time combat system and town management that sets it apart from the traditional JRPG gameplay of the Digimon Story series. You can pick up Digimon World: Next Order on PS4 for $23.71 or on PC for $50.88.
