As reported by ComicBook, Digimon Story: Time Stranger producer Ryosuke Hara took to the stage to reveal many exciting details about the new game. One of these was the official confirmation of the three starter Digimon players can choose from at the beginning of the game, all of which will be familiar to fans of the original Digimon Adventure anime.

Many fans had previously guessed that these would be the options for Digimon Story: Time Stranger’s starting partners, as all three were shown in the game’s early promotional artwork. They won’t be the only creatures that players can ally with in Digimon Story: Time Stranger, as Hara also confirmed that the game will feature no less than 450 Digimon. A newly released Digimon Story: Time Stranger trailer revealed a handful of them, including fan favorites like Angewomon, Gaogamon, and Renamon.
In addition to which starter Digimon players can choose from, this week’s Digimon Con also revealed details about the game’s story and human characters. Players can choose between the male Dan Yuki and female Kanan Yuki, both of whom are secret agents in the ADAMAS organization tasked with uncovering a mysterious threat to humans and Digimon alike. The game’s cast also includes Inori Misono and her partner Aegiomon. Unlike previous Digimon Story games, Time Stranger will regularly alternate between the human cities of Shinjuku and Akihabara and the Digital World of Illiad. There is still no official release date for Digimon Story: Time Stranger aside from a 2025 launch window.
