In Digimon Story: Time Stranger, players will explore the deep bond between people in the human world and Digimon from the Digital World: Iliad.

This title will have never-before-seen elements of the world of Digimon.
Back in February 2024, Kazumasa Habu confirms that new Digimon Story game (now Digimon Story: Time Stranger) is still in development. However, Habu is no longer producer of the series, as he’s “quietly passing the baton” to a trusted director. According to Habu, he had departed from the role at the Digimon games division back in April 2023.
“Due to personnel changes within the company, I will no longer be the producer of Digimon games,” Habu said. “In fact, I have not been in that role since last April, and I have been quietly passing the baton. Please rest assured that the new Digimon Story game continues to be in development under its trusted director and team.”
Habu continued, “Being involved in Digimon and being able to experience the enthusiasm of the fans has become my most treasured asset. I would like to thank all the fans who have loved our works. Thank you so much! Please continue to give Digimon your support!”
