Digimon Surviveis an upcoming visual novel game with some role-playing elements and a turn-based combat system. For manyDigimonfans the latest game marks a step into maturityfor the franchise, as the game will feature an older protagonist, and allow for rich storytelling that makes the player’s choices matter. While there has been plenty of anticipation aroundDigimon Survive, the game has been stuck in development for a significant amount of time.
First announced back in 2018, the game was delayed to 2020 in July 2019. Then in 2020,Digimon Survive’sdevelopment team informed fans that they wouldn’t be getting the game until 2021. In 2021, the game was further pushed back into 2022. WhileDigimon Survivehas faced multiple delays, it seems that these setbacks may be coming to an end, after prominent leaker Nibellion on Twitter has potentially found the game’s release date.

According to Nibellion, a Japanese magazine states that July 28 will be the release date forDigimon Surviveon the PS4 and Switch. As this leak comes from a Japanese magazine, though, the release date information only concernsDigimon Survive’slaunch in Japan. Currently, there is no news on whether fans will see a global launch around July 28, or whether that date will only bringDigimon Surviveto a Japanese audience. Considering the amount of time fans all over the world have had to wait for this game, it may seem odd ifDigimon Survivedoes not have a simultaneous global release.
Fans looking for the Xbox and PC versions ofDigimon Survivemay be concerned by there being no mention of either platform in the leak. Both platforms are still said to be gettingDigimon Survivewhen it launches, though in Japan the game will only be available on the PlayStation and Switch. Again, due to this leak coming from a Japanese magazine, it is unlikely that information about the game’s launch outside of Japan will be covered. This isn’t the first time the gamehas shown signs of official release information coming soon. Back in December of 2021Digimon Surviveofficially received its ESRB rating.
More recently,Digimon Surviveshowed off a new trailerhighlighting its cast and partner Digimon.
