Bandai Namco has outlined a slate of new downloadable content coming to several of its PlayStation games, expanding the experiences for Digimon, Super Robot Wars, Katamari, and Pac-Man fans.

Expanded Digivolution and a New Episode Coming to Digimon Story Time Stranger
Following its release on PlayStation 5 last month, Digimon Story Time Stranger is preparing its first Season Pass drop, titled Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 1: Alternate Dimension. The monster-taming RPG already features more than 450 Digimon and a dual-world storyline, and the upcoming DLC will introduce new Digivolution routes for several Mega Digimon. It also includes a new episode built around events that intersect across different timelines and dimensions. Bandai Namco plans to launch this content in the winter, with more specifics expected closer to release.
Super Robot Wars Y Adds Crossovers from Three Series
Super Robot Wars Y, which debuted on PS5 this past summer, is receiving its first paid DLC with additional crossover content scheduled for Winter 2025.

Players can expect new area missions and expanded unit options based on these series, broadening the tactical layers and roster combinations available in the game. Those who purchase the Deluxe Edition will gain access to the content two days earlier than the standard release.
New Remixes and Cosmetic Sets Head to Once Upon a Katamari
