Record-Breaking Pre-Orders In Japan For Digimon Story: Time Stranger
The excitement surrounding the first new standalone Digimon Story title in a decade has translated into a wave of Digimon Story pre-orders across Japan. Bandai Namco revealed that demand for Time Stranger has far exceeded forecasts, creating potential shortages of physical editions at release.
Some fans have shared that their local stores are already sold out, while others noted delays in receiving their pre-ordered copies.
Storyline Focused On Olympos XII
Developed by Media.Vision, the studio behind Cyber Sleuth, Time Stranger has been in development for nearly eight years and introduces the series’ largest Digimon roster yet, with over 450 creatures and storyline centered on the Olympos XII.
While the RPG is designed to welcome newcomers, much of the overwhelming demand appears to be driven by longtime fans eager for a return to the series.
