The release date was shared by producer Kazumasa Habu in a short update video shared on YouTube, as well as Twitter. Habu says the date is “fixed,” so hopefully there won’t be any more delays.
The Digimon Survive team is planning to deliver more exciting news to you in all forms. Please look forward to it and stay tuned. We are almost there!
To coincide with the release date news, new screenshots of Digimon Survive were shared to the Digimon Games Twitter account. They include screens of Agumon, Greymon, and Dokugumon, as well as Aoi, Saki, and Takuma.
Digimon Survive is part adventure game, part visual novel, and part tactical RPG. Habu and the development have long stressed that the game will include plenty of drama (the story is about high schoolers after all) and tactical combat featuring the series’ most recognizable gimmick: digivolution.
In a 2019 developer diary, assistant producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki described the different gameplay philosophies and how they come together in Digimon Survive.
A recent teaser trailer shows these Digimon Survive systems in action. Several spotlights over the years have provided fans more information on the game’s key characters and Digimon, including Miu Shinonome and Syakomon, Kaito Shinonome and Dracmon, Shuuji Kayama and Lopmon, and Saki Kimijuma and Floramon.
The battle part involves tactical battles in its gameplay, and one of the most important elements here is that the choices the player made during the drama part affect the conditions of the battle or change its circumstances …
Another key feature of the battle part is that the monsters evolve during the battles themselves … as the player controls their Digimon in a fight, they can expend energy to evolve their Digimon.
Digimon Survive will launch on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, alongside another prominent RPG by the name of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
