Bandai Namco showed more details about the second Digimon Story: Time Stranger DLC in the volume 2 Digimon Times on December 20, 2025, and we’ll see the Gaku-Ran DLC in January 2026. There’s also a new trailer in English that hints at what to expect. Most notably, Bancho versions of existing Mega Digimon in the game will appear.

One of the major focuses of this new storyline is Hiroko Sagisaka. She appeared in the main game in both the past and current time periods. The four confirmed Digivolutions present and shown in the short teaser are BanchoGolemon, BanchoLillymon, BanchoMamemon, and BanchoStingmon. It is unknown how long this episode in the expansion will last, but the previous Alternate Dimension one with Kyoko Kuremi was about an hour long. 

Here is the first trailer for the Gaku-Ran Digimon Story: Time Stranger DLC. 

There are three planned DLC packs for this JRPG in the series. We don’t have an exact launch window for the third one.

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 in January 2026. The first pack in the series is available worldwide now.
