You probably remember Digimon, the "digital monsters" originally derived from Tamagotchis. Animated series, films, manga, toys, cards: these creatures multiplied in the 1990s and 2000s. Of course, they're also to be found in our video games, particularly on PS5, Xbox Series and PC, with a new title unveiled on February 13, 2025.
From October 3, 2025, get ready for adventure with Digimon Story Time Stranger, an RPG from Bandai Namco. Save the world from destruction, cross universes and time with your Digimon, and put an end to chaos!
From September 11, 2025, until the game's release, you can test a demo of Digimon Story Time Stranger on consoles and PC. Players will discover the beginning of this story: this game data can be transferred once the title is officially released. So players won't have to start from the beginning.
The demo also offers access to the Adventure Trial Mode in Central Town, to explore the world of Iliad a little further. Please note that progress made in this mode will not be taken into account when the game is fully available.

Our test of Digimon Story Time Stranger:
We were able to test the game for 20 minutes on PS5, during a preview event.
The adventure gets off to a slow start: at first, the contextualization of the story regularly cuts off the action, making the first moments of play a little frustrating. The world is vast and full of detail, but at the same time feels empty.
The player is given plenty of guidance, making the game accessible to younger players. Combat is turn-based, following a simple, tried-and-tested mechanic.
Thanks to its scenario, this Digimon opus is a good entry point for neophytes wishing to discover the license. For fans, the game brings a new twist to the Digimon lore, and can therefore be enjoyed just as much. The second part of the story, which we didn't have time to discover, promises to be more complex and profound: the game is therefore worth persevering with and exploring at greater length.
The game is clean, well-worked and fluid, but lacks a little soul or surprise for our taste. It remains a solid, reliable title for fans of the genre.
Digimon Story Time Stranger allows us to explore the original Digimon world, deepening the saga's history and lore. Ready for a journey full of surprises?
