In September 2026, the companies revealed a major expansion titled ‘A Hero’s Eternal Legacy’, scheduled for release in 2027. Set three years after the primary conflict between the Agents and the Olympos XII, the expansion will introduce a new protagonist and explore the previously unknown digital world region of Iliad. The content is expected to include over 50 new Digimon integrated into the existing turn-based strategic combat and monster-taming systems. This expansion will be available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. This development follows earlier confirmations of a new Digimon anime series also slated for 2027, signaling a broader push to expand the franchise through multiple media projects. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-05: Bandai Namco announces Digimon Story Time Stranger expansion for 2027 Bandai Namco announced ‘A Hero’s Eternal Legacy’, an expansion for Digimon Story Time Stranger arriving in 2027 for multiple platforms, featuring a new protagonist and over 50 new Digimon. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-announces-digimon-story-time-stranger-expansion-for-2027 ### 2026-09-03: Bandai Namco announces Digimon Story: Time Stranger expansion Bandai Namco announced ‘A Hero’s Eternal Legacy’, a Digimon Story: Time Stranger expansion arriving in 2027 with a new protagonist and over 50 new Digimon. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-announces-digimon-story-time-stranger-expansion ### 2026-08-07: Bandai Namco expands Digimon franchise with new anime and game Bandai Namco announces a new Digimon anime for 2027 and the release of the ambitious JRPG Digimon Story: Time Stranger for Nintendo Switch 2. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-expands-digimon-franchise-with-new-anime-and-game ### 2026-07-19: Digimon Story: Time Stranger launches on Nintendo Switch 2 Digimon Story: Time Stranger, a time‑travel RPG, arrives on Nintendo Switch 2, offering gender‑swap protagonists and ADAMAS‑led investigations in Shinjuku and the Digital World. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/digimon-story-time-stranger-launches-on-nintendo-switch-2 ### 2026-07-13: Polish reviews dissect Digimon Story Time Stranger and Sakumon monster‑collecting games Polish reviews cover Digimon Story: Time Stranger's JRPG mechanics on Switch and Sakumon's toys‑to‑life Pokémon clone funded on Kickstarter. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-reviews-dissect-digimon-story-time-stranger-and-sakumon-monstercollecting-games ### 2026-07-09: Digimon Story: Time Stranger launches worldwide on Nintendo Switch 2 Digimon Story Time Stranger releases globally on 10 July 2026 for Switch 2 (and other platforms), features 450+ Digimon, time‑travel gameplay, dual graphic modes, and a free update; the PC version is on a 43 %‑ 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bandai-namco-sets-july-10-2026-release-for-digimon-story-time-stranger-on-nintendo-switch-2 ### 2026-07-07: Bandai Namco Reveals Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Switch 2 Bandai Namco's Digimon Story: Time Stranger launches on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 on July 10 2026, featuring over 450 Digimon, 4K/HDR and 60 fps modes, new Terriermon Assistant, photo mode and DLC season‑pas 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/digimon-story-time-stranger-rpg-slated-for-july-2026-launch-on-nintendo-switch --- Cite as: Digimon Story: Time Stranger launch and expansion plans.
