The new Digimon Story game won’t keep us waiting 8 years

A promising period is beginning for players who closely follow the Digimon Story series. While the long development time of the last game is still fresh in our memories, new messages from the team indicate that this process is now behind them. The Digimon Story team emphasizes that a more sustainable and stable roadmap has been drawn up for the future of the series.

Faster and More Sustainable Plans for Digimon Story

After an arduous eight-year development process, Digimon Story Time Stranger was met with stronger interest than expected. The game, which has secured a solid place for itself within the JRPG community, even managed to attract the attention of some players who were previously hesitant about the Digimon brand. This situation created an important sense of confidence for the future of the series.

Producer Ryosuke Hara stated that they are focused on expanding the Digimon universe. He specifically mentioned working more closely with Toei Animation, and that Digimon Story games will remain a significant part of this expansion. However, the most striking point was the explicit statement that the eight-year waiting period is no longer considered normal.

The team says they’ve shifted to a more organized and structured development system for Digimon Story. This means new projects can be launched more efficiently and at shorter intervals. Bandai Namco’s support for the project is highlighted as one of the biggest driving forces behind this structural change.

Series director Yusuke Tomono hints that future Digimon Story games may be more accessible to new players. While this approach creates cautious optimism, veteran fans are also waiting for clear signals that the spirit of the series will be preserved.
