Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially confirmed that Digimon Story Time Stranger, the newest addition to the acclaimed Digimon RPG series, will launch for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
The news was announced during the recent Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, highlighting a major expansion of the Digimon franchise on Nintendo's hardware ecosystem. Developed by h.a.n.d., Digimon Story Time Stranger is designed to serve as an accessible entry point for RPG enthusiasts and series newcomers alike.
According to Bandai Namco, players are thrust into a high-stakes narrative, immersed in a world where the boundaries between the human and digital realms are crumbling.
In order to preserve both worlds from destruction, players must forge strong bonds with over 450 Digimon—taming, evolving, and battling alongside them throughout their adventure.
The gameplay promises extensive exploration, including time-travel mechanics and dynamic world transitions. For players embracing the next generation hardware, Digimon Story Time Stranger takes advantage of Nintendo Switch 2 features with two display options.
Quality Mode supports resolutions up to 4K HDR at 30 frames per second when docked, and Full HD at 30 frames per second in handheld mode.
Performance Mode, alternatively, allows for smooth gameplay at up to 60 frames per second in Full HD, both docked and handheld.
This level of technical polish ensures that returning fans and newcomers experience the Digimon universe as never before. Supporting the title’s post-launch content, Bandai Namco has detailed a comprehensive Season Pass for the Nintendo Switch version.
The Season Pass includes three downloadable content packs, each introducing five additional Digimon along with a fresh story episode.
These DLC packs are planned for individual release over the months following launch.
Additionally, the Golden Moai farm item is part of the Season Pass, offering players new customization options within the Digifarm feature. Digimon Story Time Stranger will be available in several editions.
The Standard Edition includes the base game with exclusive pre-order bonuses such as the Uniform of a Certain School costumes, an Adventure Item set, and the special Agumon (Black) and Gabumon (Black).
For those seeking added content, the Digital Deluxe Edition features all Standard Edition bonuses, as well as the Cyber Sleuth Set Costumes and the full Season Pass.
The ultimate experience is offered through the Digital Ultimate Edition, which adds a Costume Pack, three additional side missions, early unlocks for unique Digimon, Public Safety Suit Costumes, a Special Supplies Set, and the Cyber Sleuth BGM Pack. Digimon Story Time Stranger is slated for a global release on July 10, 2026, available both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
