Bandai Namco announced a release date for the Digimon Story: Time Stranger Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 2: Gaku-Ran DLC, and it brings the Bancho characters to the game on January 22, 2026. It also seems to feature Inori Misono’s friend Hiroko Sagisaka, who appeared in the main game.
The video begins with one of these new Bancho Digimon, presumably BanchoLeomon, mentioning how Parallelmon is the cause of them coming to “this world.” We then see flashes of that character and our avatar encountering BanchoGolemon, BanchoStingmon, BanchoLillymon, and BanchoMamemon. They all unite and decide to work together, and we see them teaming up and fighting together against Parallelmon.
Here’s the full trailer showing the five Bancho characters in Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
Each of these Digimon Story: Time Stranger add-ons so far tended to focus on a supporting character from the series while also adding additional characters. The first was Alternate Dimension and appeared in December 2025. That featured Kyoko Kuremi, who also showed up in Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth. It also provided an opportunity to face Parallelmon in battle. Getting it also provided us access to the Mega Digimon BlitzGreymon, CresGarurumon, Omnimon Alter-B, Omnimon Alter-B, and Omnimon Zwart.
There is still one final piece pack in the Digimon Story: Time Stranger season pass. That has an April 2026 to June 2026 launch window.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger is available on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and its Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 2: Gaku-Ran DLC debuts on January 22, 2026.
