Digimon Survive launch disruptions
But for those who have been following the game and waiting for its release, you should already know that Digimon Survive didn't have a particularly smooth road to launch. First announced in 2018, where the game was supposed to come to the West the following year, but it didn't. And since then, it's been making sporadic appearances at different events with the occasional trailer, screenshots, or even character details being revealed amidst various delays that kept pushing the game back again and again. However, the latest delay caused the game to be delayed to 2022, but the latest ratings and trailers for ESRB gave people hope that a release date announcement was coming soon.
“First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your continued patience and support of Digimon Survive,” read the statement announcing the latest delay. “Our original goal was to release Digimon Survive in 2021. However, due to the need to allocate more time for development, it is necessary to move the game's release date to 2022. While this decision was not an easy one, we want to make sure to use that extra time to improve the quality of the game.”
However, in a way, the Digimon themselves are obviously recognizable to those who follow the series, after all it is something that has marked thousands of people around the world. A great reputation in itself. But, of course, in this new game, it will revolve around a new cast, with new characters partnering with these creatures that will surprise you during gameplay.
It also features 2D battles and a new detail, which has over 100 Digimon for players to encounter! Lack of what to explore without having. And we also hope to get an official release date soon from Bandai Namco to confirm when, exactly, players can start finding them.
