Digimon Survive Finally Has A New Release Date
Digimon Survive might finally have a release date--at least, in Japan. The game was first announced way back in 2018 and was then delayed to 2019, then 2020, then 2021, and finally 2022 thanks to a combination of development troubles caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in direction for the game. But four years later and the finish line is finally in sight.
According to Ryokutya2089.com, a Japanese site quoting local magazines (and via an eagle-eyed ResetEra user), Digimon Survive is set to arrive on July 28. Japanese RPGs are typically released locally before a worldwide version, so this might be the game’s Japan-only arrival date. We’ll have to wait for word from Bandai Namco before we can confirm when Digimon Survive will hit global shelves.
