The first story DLC for Digimon Story: Time Stranger arrives in just a matter of days, and it's a doozy. Taking place in a bizarre dimension that exists outside time and space, the new chapter brings in a powerful digital monster fans have been hoping to see for years, and some other 'mon besides.
The setting for Alternate Dimension, as the chapter is known, is called Akashic Backdoor, and it's described as an "extradimensional space." Essentially, it's an area between realities where you can safely take on the threat, the mysterious and incredibly strong Parallelmon.
Not only has this creature created this little pocket universe, but it's kidnapped a number of your allies as well, spurring you to be sent to take it on. Unless you're a scholar of the Digimon franchise – and there'd be plenty more of us if there were any justice in this godforsaken world – you probably don't recognize this villain, but Parallelmon goes way back.
It debuted back in the Digimon Adventure V-Tamer manga, by Hiroshi Izawa, the source material for the anime and resulting franchise. Sadly, over the years it became relegated to those pages, never making the leap onto our screens in any capacity. There's been some buzz among fans, though, as a cut line in the Chosen Children costume pack hinted at the monster.
Kyoko Kuremi, from Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, makes an appearance here, alongside her father, Kodai. Omnimon Alter-B, Omnimon Zwart Defeat, BlitzGreymon, CresGarurumon, and Omnimon Alter-C make up the five monstrous additions to your roster with the DLC.
Digimon Story Time Stranger Episode Pack 1: Alternate Dimension comes out December 8. It's the first part of the season pass, with two more chapters to come.
