At DIGIMON CON 2025, Bandai Namco unveiled exciting updates for the Digimon franchise, including the introduction of a new mobile TCG named Digimon Alysion and further details on the upcoming Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Dive into the specifics of these announcements and what they mean for Digimon fans.
During the DIGIMON CON 2025 Livestream on March 20, Bandai Namco announced the development of Digimon Alysion, a new mobile TCG aimed at expanding the franchise's reach in the digital gaming sphere. Inspired by the success of mobile card games like Pokémon TCG Pocket and Marvel Snap, Digimon Alysion is set to offer fans a free-to-play experience where they can collect cards featuring various Digimon and franchise characters, construct their decks, and engage in battles with other players.
What sets Digimon Alysion apart is its proposed inclusion of a comprehensive story mode, enhancing the gaming experience beyond traditional and competitive play. A new trailer introduced an all-female cast speculated to be part of this story mode, including new characters Kanata Hondo, Futre, and Valner Dragnogh, alongside a new Digimon, Gemmon.
While an official release date for Digimon Alysion has not been disclosed, the presentation hinted at an upcoming closed beta test, with more details to follow.
In addition to Digimon Alysion, DIGIMON CON 2025 shed light on Digimon Story: Time Stranger. Producer Ryosuke Hara discussed the game's background, key characters, and the unique abilities of some featured Digimon. He confirmed that players can select from three starter Digimon at the game's outset: Patamon, Gomamon, and DemiDevimon, all iconic characters from the original Digimon Adventure anime.
Time Stranger boasts an expansive roster of over 450 Digimon, the largest in the series to date, surpassing the 330 Digimon available in its predecessor, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory. The new trailer highlighted Digimon such as Angewomon, Gallantmon, and the fan-favorite Agumon.
Hara also unveiled the game's narrative and main characters. Players can choose between protagonists Dan Yuki and Kanan Yuki, who are secret agents for the organization ADAMAS, tasked with uncovering threats to humans and Digimon. The main heroine, Inori Misono, and her partner Aegiomon will join players on their journey. The game's title hints at a focus on time travel, with the protagonist being thrown through different eras.
Alongside these reveals, DIGIMON CON 2025 showcased a 25th Anniversary PV for the Digimon Anime, new starter decks and booster packs for the Digimon Trading Card Game, and announced a new anime series, Digimon Beatbreak, set to premiere in October 2025. With these developments, the Digimon franchise is poised for an exciting future.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger is slated for release in 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay updated with the latest news on this eagerly anticipated game by following our coverage.
