Digimon Story: Time Stranger Listing Leaks Before PlayStation Showcase

A new installment in the Digimon video game series, titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, has seemingly leaked via GameStop just before tonight's PlayStation State of Play presentation. The leak was first spotted by Gematsu, which shared store links allowing interested players to pre-order the game for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Although the GameStop listings lack images and gameplay details, an official announcement may be imminent.

This leak comes hours before Sony's State of Play presentation, which is set to feature 40 minutes of content. Given the timing of the pre-order listings and the ample time for reveals during the show, it wouldn't be surprising if Digimon Story: Time Stranger makes an appearance.

The Digimon Story series has a rich history, starting with the original Digimon Story on the Nintendo DS in the mid-2000s. Over the years, numerous sequels and spin-offs 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 the Digimon Story games, players are typically transported into the Digimon world, where they befriend and battle alongside digital monsters in an RPG format. While franchise producer Kazumashu Habu teased a new Story game in 2022, fans have been eagerly awaiting a new entry. Although games like Digimon Survive have helped bridge the gap, the potential reveal of Digimon Story: Time Stranger could mark the end of a long wait for a true continuation of the series.
