Digimon Survive’s release date has been set for July 29th, Bandai Namco has confirmed. The game is set to release on PS4, Switch, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. To mark the announcement a new trailer has been released which sets up the environment of Digimon Survive, a world where danger lurks everywhere. There is also some footage of gameplay showing dialogue and battles.
Digimon Survive was first announced back in 2018 with an initial release date of 2019. That did not happen. In 2020, Bandai Namco confirmed that Digimon Survive would be pushed back to 2021 due to the pandemic which saw a lot of delays across the industry. At the time, a statement was released by Kazumasa Habu, Producer of Digimon Survive saying, “The Digimon Survive team would like to extend our thanks to fans from around the world for their support during development, especially in these difficult times. We had originally planned to launch Digimon Survive in 2020 but current world events have shifted our development timing and we have made the difficult decision to push Digimon Survive’s launch to 2021.”
Of course, 2021 has been and gone as well with no Digimon Survive release, likely due to the continuing issues of the pandemic delaying development. The story outline for Digimon Survive reads as follows. “When Takuma Momozuka finds himself lost on a school camping trip, he’ll be transported to a mysterious and dangerous world full of creatures called Digimon. On his journey, he’ll meet many companions, Digimon and human alike! Join Takuma as he searches for a way back home in this visual novel with turn-based battles.”
Those that pick up Digimon Survive will get a launch bonus of a free Guilmon along with a HP support item which will come in handy with those battles against the dangerous inhabitants of this alternate world.
