Bandai Namco has set Digimon Story: Time Stranger for July 10, 2026 on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, with preorders already live. (bandainamcoent.com) (nintendo.com) The publisher said the Nintendo release will be sold in Standard, Digital Deluxe and Digital Ultimate editions. The game is a single-player role-playing game with monster-taming and turn-based battles. (bandainamcoent.com) (store.bandainamcoent.com) Bandai Namco also published platform specs for the two Nintendo versions. On Switch 2, Quality Mode offers 4K and High Dynamic Range in TV mode, while Performance Mode runs at up to 60 frames per second. (bandainamcoent.com) (ec.nintendo.com) The same specs page says 4K and High Dynamic Range output require a compatible television, and High Dynamic Range is also supported in handheld play on Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch version is capped at 30 frames per second and tops out at 1080p in TV mode. (bandainamcoent.com 1) (bandainamcoent.com 2) Time Stranger is the first new Digimon Story game since Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory in 2017. Bandai Namco’s store listing says the new game’s plot starts in Tokyo with a city-leveling explosion and sends the protagonist eight years into the past. (bandainamcoent.com) (store.bandainamcoent.com) Nintendo’s store page says players move between the human world and the Digital World, collecting and raising Digimon across an adventure tied to the collapse of both worlds. The game carries content descriptors including fantasy violence, mild language, suggestive themes and use of alcohol. (nintendo.com) The Nintendo eShop listings also show day-one add-ons and a season pass roadmap. Three additional Digimon and episode packs are slated for September 30, 2026. (nintendo.com) (ec.nintendo.com) For Bandai Namco, the July 10 date turns Time Stranger into a same-day release across Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam. The company’s pitch on Nintendo is straightforward: the same Digimon RPG, with a more powerful Switch 2 build getting the visual and frame-rate upgrades.
