Digimon Story: Time Stranger Listing Leaks Before PlayStation Showcase

A new installment in the Digimon franchise, titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, has seemingly been leaked via GameStop just ahead of tonight's PlayStation State of Play presentation. The leak was first spotted by Gematsu, who shared store links allowing fans to pre-order the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Although the GameStop listings do not feature any images or gameplay details, the timing suggests that an official announcement may be imminent.

The leak comes just hours before Sony's State of Play event, which is set to feature 40 minutes of content. While the specifics of the presentation remain undisclosed, the proximity of the leak to the event raises speculation that Digimon Story: Time Stranger might be showcased.

The Digimon Story series has a rich history that dates back to the original Digimon Story released for the Nintendo DS in the mid-2000s. Since then, numerous titles have been released across various platforms, including Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth in 2015 and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory in 2017. A Complete Edition bundling both Cyber Sleuth titles was released in 2019.

In these games, players enter the Digimon world to befriend and battle with digital monsters in RPG-style gameplay. Although franchise producer Kazumashu Habu teased a new Digimon Story game in 2022, fans have been eagerly awaiting a fresh installment. While games like Digimon Survive have helped bridge the gap, the potential reveal of Digimon Story: Time Stranger could mark the much-anticipated return of the series.
