While the trailer for Digimon Story Time Stranger is hectic, it shows the protagonist journeying through time space, including both the human world and the Digimon realm.

Not many fans must have caught it, but Gojo dropped a Digimon reference in the premiere episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2.
What’s unclear is whether Digimon Story Time Stranger keeps up the series tradition of featuringturn-based battles. Some of the scenes in the trailer seem to show slow-paced fights, but it’s impossible to know for sure until a UI is shown.
There does seem to be more of an exploration element than in previous games, as the protagonist is shown riding around on a Garurumon at one point in the trailer. This might hint atmore open areasrather than the tight dungeons and small-town maps of its predecessor.
While the trailer didn’t feature any release date, it did confirm that the game is launching in 2025. Hopefully, fans won’t have to wait long for more information, as Hacker’s Memory came out nearly ten years ago, and they’re eager to return to the world of Digimon.
