New Intel Might Confirm Digimon Story: Time Stranger Nintendo Switch 2 Version

Recently, just about any new details that arrive about Digimon Story: Time Stranger leave fans with one question. Yesterday’s deep dive during the Bandai Namco live stream was no question. As the game developer went over the game’s combat system in more detail, comments of “Switch 2?” kept popping up. Digimon fans want to know whether the latest Digimon Story title will be available on Switch consoles. Given that a Nintendo Switch version wasn’t revealed when the game was announced, many assume that means a secret Switch 2 edition is in the works.

So many iconic digimon have already been revealed for time stranger

Bandai has yet to confirm plans to release Digimon Story: Time Stranger on the Nintendo Switch 2. But that hasn’t stopped rumors from circulating about the game’s potential arrival on the platform. Most of the rumblings haven’t really involved any concrete evidence that a Switch 2 drop is imminent. However, a new listing in the EAN database could indicate that Time Stranger will indeed release for the Nintendo Switch 2.

New Listing Could Mean a Switch 2 Edition of Digimon Story: Time Stranger

The EAN database is a collection of product identification numbers in North America. Basically, it’s the home for barcodes that are associated with various retail products planned for sale in the North American region. And recently, a new EAN surfaced for the product “Bandai Namco Digimon Story: Time Stranger – Nintendo Switch 2- RPG – PEGI 12.”

Although Bandai Namco has still not officially confirmed a Switch 2 version of Digimon Story: Time Stranger, this evidence suggests that one is incoming. Whether it will arrive on the October 3rd release date for the game is unclear. After all, pre-orders are available for all confirmed Digimon Story: Time Stranger platforms. So, if a Switch 2 version is planned for release date, it’s a bit odd that it isn’t yet available for pre-order.

Until Bandai Namco confirms a Switch 2 release, we don’t know for sure when or if it’s coming. But, having an EAN already in the system certainly makes it more likely. Bandai has announced very few titles for the Switch 2 since the console arrived, so this would be one of the first new Bandai games headed to the console. Creature collector games like Pokemon and Digimon often perform well on handheld consoles like the Switch, though, so it would make a lot of sense to have a Switch 2 version available.
