After all these years, fans of the Digimon franchise may finally have a release date for the highly anticipated Survive. Based on reports from sites like Nintendo Life, a Japanese magazine reveals that Digimon Survive is expected to release in Japan on July 28, but a U.S. release date has not been announced.
Since the game is published by Bandai Namco, it can be assumed that a worldwide release is not too far away from the Japanese release date. Bandai Namco usually does same-day worldwide releases for its games.
Digimon Survive, however, has had a troubled production. Originally announced in 2018 for a 2019 release window, Survive was soon delayed to 2020—and delayed again for 2021, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The year 2021 then came and went, and there was still no Digimon Survive. Kazumasa Habu, the producer of Digimon Survive, announced on Twitter that the game has been delayed again to 2022.
2022 may be the magic number after all for Digimon Survive. As long as no more issues hit production, we may all end up with a copy of Digimon Survive in our hands within a few short months. Digimon Survive is an upcoming title for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It's a hybrid game, both a visual-novel-like game with JRPG elements.
