Earlier this month, the RPG’s first bit of DLC was released, and fans of Digimon won’t have to wait much longer for the second DLC release. Alongside a short teaser trailer, Bandai Namco has confirmed the game’s second DLC will release sometime during January 2026. The teaser trailer features a few seconds of footage of the DLC’s content. As for the DLC, it is titled “Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 2: Nabiku Gaku-Ran.” The ‘Nabiku Gaku-Ran’ is obviously its Japanese title, with its English title yet to be announced.
About the DLC
Right now, we have next to no details on the DLC, but we do know it is included with a Deluxe and Ultimate Edition of the game, as well as the Season Pass. Meanwhile, as you would expect, it will also be available for individual purchase.
It remains to be seen how extensive the game’s post-launch support will be. Only three DLC releases have been confirmed so far, and given the back-to-back release schedule so far, the expectation is that this third DLC will release pretty early in 2026. What will come after this, if anything, remains to be seen.
About the Game
Digimon Story: Time Stranger is an RPG developed and released by Media Vision and Bandai Namco back in October. It is the seventh release in the Digimon Story sub-series, and the first since 2017’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth โ Hacker’s Memory. Upon release, it garnered an 80 on Metacritic.
“An agent of a secret organization encounters an unknown creature shortly before a city-leveling explosion,” reads an official story synopsis of the monster-taming RPG. “They then reawaken eight years in the pastโฆ Take on a mission to uncover the mystery of the worldโs collapse, where chance encounters with unique characters will shape your journey across time and parallel worlds – and change fate itself.”
