Bandai Namco has a history of neglectoing Digimon games in very absurd ways.
Games barely had marketing so people didn’t know for years that Digimon has games. And the ones who knew were ignored so certain games never leave Japan.
They made a shovelware smash bros like for ps3 to check interest from west market after massively failing with the XrosWars dub (Fusions).
DigimonWorld NextOrder was launched on ps4 in 2017 and took 6 years to be released on PC and Switch (and they didn’t updated ps4 version with the new improvements). This was a Vita game.
Also launching Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition to include Hacker’s Memory and DLC digimon but not updating og CyberSleuth in ps4 so it got removed from store at some point and only remains Hackers Memory.
Then you got Survive, the game was supposed to be released on the summer of 2019 but instead they launched an Appmon tower defense mobile game for Korean market. After that Survive got in development hell, and dead silence to the point we didn’t know if the game was secretly cancelled, so they one day came out and said "sorry we switched engine and devteam don’t worry heheheh it will be out by 2022 :) "… This is supposed to be a small project for giving something while they work on TimeStranger lol.
And I could give more examples but I assume you get the idea.
So even with all the issues TimeStranger has, for me is still a win over previous games.
Don’t get me wrong, is a great game, I’ve simping for it and been playing a lot.
The issues I mean are mostly external like Denuvo being there, base game being expensive in US and Europe and the deluxe edition not including de anime song and farming mazes lol
