GAMING NEWS Fyra Frost - 2 hours ago

Bandai Namco has released the first major add-on for Digimon Story: Time Stranger, a game that has set new records for the popular franchise. The DLC, titled Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 1: Alternate Dimension, launches today as part of the Season Pass and introduces a narrative expansion alongside new high-tier Digivolution paths for several Mega-level Digimon.

The new episode turns the spotlight onto a mysterious extradimensional realm known as the Alternate Dimension, a space where timelines fracture and familiar rules no longer apply. Players are tasked with investigating strange distortions that lead them into contact with Parallelmon, a notorious antagonist pulled from the early Digimon manga. Long regarded as a deep-cut villain with a cult following, Parallelmon's appearance marks the first time the character has taken a central role in a mainline game story. The encounter forms the backbone of the DLC's rescue-focused storyline, which builds on threads introduced in the base game and expands the broader Time Stranger mythos.

Gameplay depth also receives a measurable boost. Several Mega-level Digimon gain new Digivolution options, providing additional late-game build variety for players intent on optimizing team composition. The newly added routes allow for enhanced tactical flexibility across boss encounters and PvE dungeon content, reinforcing Time Stranger’s emphasis on party planning and long-form progression.

Alternate Dimension is the first of several planned content drops. The DLC is included automatically for players who own the Season Pass or purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate editions of the game. It is also available as a standalone add-on for all platforms where Digimon Story: Time Stranger is currently supported, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. Future DLC packs will continue layering in additional Digimon, story chapters, and mechanical updates, signaling ongoing, long-term support for the title.
