When I did that post about the history of the Olympos XII before the release of Digimon Story Time Stranger I originally wrote an entire section discussing Greek myths, interpretations, and how there are many of them that go completely against what most think about them.
According to Director Tomono, while making Digimon Story Time Stranger they got Chronomon's profile and development notes.
Originally, the base was the Time God Chronos, but they merged it with the Harvest God Cronus, Zeus' father, for this game to connect with Jupitermon.

About 20 minutes for 2026 where I live.
2025 was such a strange year. I finally graduated, but this only means now more than ever I need to do more.
In my free time, I wrote and did a lot about Digimon here during 2025, but in 2026 I'll try to do more of other things.

My Biggest Inspirations In Digimon
If you were asked to close your eyes and imagine Digimon, what is the image that comes to your mind?
As my last text of the year, I'm introducing the works that make up the form of my foundation of Digimon.

After Digimon Story Time Stranger, I wonder if Media Vision will be the developers for the next Digimon Story.
Isn't necessarily related to Digimon, but in the Famitsu Game Creators' comments, they shared that in 2026, they'll start the preparation phase for multiple new titles.

In my time zone, I'll make my last blog post of the year later today. It'll be my main Digimon influences to end the year, showing what is in my mind when I say that I love the Digimon world. But after this, I think it could be fun to end the year here, just answering any questions if anyone has.

The Digimon staff has taken notice that Digimon's fanbase is growing, and in a connected manner.
Time Stranger's release seems to have increased the viewership of past anime, and Digimon Beatbreak is also doing well.
Many are enjoying Digimon for the first time, even streamers.

Before Digimon Story Time Stranger's release, Director Tomono was fearful about players not enjoying it.
They were working with old methods (Like, when doing stuff with Unreal Engine wasn't commonplace), and they felt the it had areas they couldn't compete with modern games.

When new Digimon were added to Hacker's Memory, including Huckmon's other evolutions and the Sistermon, I thought they could update the Cyber Sleuth side to follow the lore, but they didn't.
So we have this line from the original game in the same story the Sistermon exist.

Comparing with Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, in August 2014 the Digivice Ver.15th introduced a summary of the Royal Knight lore to commemorate the group finally being complete.
When the RK were explained in CS, they directly used the summary to introduce the group and members.

One thing the Digimon Story Time Stranger staff did to portray the characters emotionally was research past Digimon material. At first, they thought that respecting the franchise's past would give an emotional feel to the work, and so they did a lot of research.

Today's feature is Zombie Plutomon.
They didn't mention him in the Time Stranger interviews, but I'm almost sure he (If not Plutomon as a whole) was another Digimon victim of the rewrites.
If one day they do a Q&A, I'm almost sure they would mention some plot that was planned and they scrapped.

Also, looking at the featured Titan, like Parrotmon, Ultimate Brachimon, Sharkmon, and Skull Seadramon, I feel like they were considering having a brand new Perfect-level Digimon for the Factorial Area, but since they couldn't do it, they just used Ultimate Brachimon instead.

Something surprising with Time Stranger is that this time, a lot of the Digimon added to the game weren't last stages. The usual is for new Ultimates to be added as they often bring more attention, to the point that fans ask why even make a Perfect or Adult without an Ultimate.

Due to the story rewrites of Digimon Story Time Stranger, many plotlines were discarded, resulting in unused Digimon, and others were given an entirely different context. Great Gryzmon originally appeared in the story, showing it evolving into Callismon, but this was removed.

Producer Hara once said that what took the longest time in Digimon Story Time Stranger's development was the story, and this time he and Tomono went on to explain about it and how the story wasn't originally coming together, and so they had to make a choice in what to focus.

Regarding Time Stranger Season Pass, Producer Hara said there were various reasons they didn't use it to add some Digimon requested by fans, like Gammamon.
For example, if they added the entire Gammamon line, it would fill an entire DLC by itself, limiting the content.

I'll say one thing, we have been hearing about "Digimon Unification" for years already, but every time it's mentioned, the vast majority of the responses I see are people finding out about the project for the first time.
I think there's still a gap regarding overall perception.

For years Bandai and Toei started to establish a system with the intent to align all the individual Digimon content and unify them, wanting the IP to grow bigger and stronger.
Kunlun appearing in TS is just one of the many ways they are showing Digimon being connected.

Kunlun, the host of Digital World Shambala, appearing in Digimon Story Time Stranger was a fast addition to it.
Although the setting of the Three Digital Worlds existed for a while, deciding on Shamabala and Kunlun was a fairly recent development that was added very quickly.

Among the lore shown in Digimon Story Time Stranger, one that Tomono feared would get complaints was the portrayal of the Hosts of the Digital Worlds.
He expected to just be told "that is a misinterpretation", so when the interviewer praised it, it gave him confidence.

Like, they finally addressed that yes, although they made research with past Digimon material to try and be consistent, they also had to make retcons to the settings. They hope the fans are understanding of the changes, but also can be aware they did it on purpose.

There's a new 4Gamer interview with Hara and Tomono about Time Stranger, about the development and the future of Digimon.
It's the first recent interview that actually acknowledges a lot of what we knew about the game, but interviews before the release almost never addressed.

From 4Gamer's comments by developers, we learned bit from Digimon Story Time Stranger's director, Yuusuke Tomono, and producer, Ryosuke Hara.
The game that impressed Tomono the most in 2025 was Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, which added new challenges within the constraints of the series.

My three favorite human characters in Digimon Story Time Stranger were Hiroko, Simmons, and Asuna.
So the fact that they are going to be the featured characters in the last two Season Pass episodes makes me curious to see if they'll solve a problem I had with the base game.
