Bandai Namco Entertainment has shared some new Digimon Story: Time Stranger gameplay footage, showcasing more of the RPG's detailed world, in addition to teasing several previously unconfirmed digital monsters. This early look at the upcoming game arrives less than three months ahead of Digimon Story: Time Stranger's multi-platform release.
