Prelude acts as a cinematic introduction to the world of Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
It focuses on Inori Misono, a young woman entangled in a crisis that threatens both the human and Digital Worlds. Through fragmented memories and cryptic visuals, the short teases her emotional connection to an event that fractures time itself — a central theme of the game.
The upcoming RPG, developed by Media.Vision (Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth), marks the long-awaited return of the Digimon Story franchise. Players assume the role of Dan or Kanan Yuki, agents from the secretive organization ADAMAS, tasked with traveling back eight years to prevent the fusion of two realities. With over 450 Digimon, nonlinear missions, and branching storylines, Time Stranger promises a narrative-heavy evolution of the series.

The mysterious young woman at the heart of Time Stranger. In the Prelude short, she’s seen navigating fragmented timelines, haunted by voices from both worlds. Her role is still unclear — but hints suggest she may hold the key to repairing the rift between dimensions.
The dual protagonists — male and female player options — serve as elite agents for ADAMAS. Their mission involves preventing a temporal collapse that threatens to merge the human world with the Digital World. Both characters embody contrasting philosophies: logic versus emotion, determinism versus freedom.
Inori’s Digimon partner, Aegiomon, stands as her moral compass and protector. His mythic design and stoic presence evoke parallels to Digimon from ancient eras, suggesting deep ties to the world’s temporal fabric.
By bridging storytelling and promotion, Prelude reintroduces Digimon to audiences as a serious sci-fi RPG experience with emotional weight. If the short is any indication, Digimon Story: Time Stranger may become the franchise’s most ambitious narrative yet — one that’s as much about destiny as it is about digital monsters.
