Digimon Survive gets a release date after years of delays

By

After going through as many delays as the average Digimon can digivolve, Digimon Survive has a set release date. The latest in the digital monster series is now launching in Japan on July 28. Release dates for other countries are yet to be announced.

DIGIMON SURVIVE - Teaser Trailer

Digimon Survive is a visual novel-survival strategy role-playing game hybrid. Players can influence the game’s story through various choices that change the ending, their Digimon’s digivolution, and whether other characters live or die.

Digimon Survive was originally set to release in 2019, but was pushed back to 2020. At the time, the game’s producer, Kazumasa Habu, placed the blame on the pandemic and how it restructured game development.

“Regarding Survive, the planned release date has been changed to 2020 because of a reorganization of our game development structure,” Habu said of Digimon Survive. “Once again, I feel deeply the hardships of game development … We will continue to develop the game in order to make it a good product, so please look forward to it.”

This new release date didn’t survive and the game was once again delayed a year. The developers once again pinned it on the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes it brought upon the work environment. The game received one more delay, landing it in 2022 to ensure a quality title.

It’s now 2022 and after three years of delays, there is finally a somewhat definite release date for Digimon Survive for Japan. Hopefully, this one is assured and dates for other countries will follow.

Digimon Survive is set to release July 28 in Japan for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Death Stranding 2: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more
Sam with grey hair.

There were plenty of hints along the way, and even some leaks by the leading man himself, but it was only made official at the Game Awards 2022 that Death Stranding 2 is on its way. Coming from the same influential and creative mind as the original, as well as the Metal Gear franchise before it, Hideo Kojima introduced the game himself. Of course, nothing about Kojima's games are straight forward, and what was revealed about Death Stranding 2 probably raised more questions than it answered. We're strapping on our boots, connecting to our BBs, and are ready to make the trek to find out everything there is about Death Stranding 2.
Release date

The trailer didn't give us a release date for Death Stranding 2, and in fact, even pointed out that this was just the game's working title and would likely change. That leads us to believe that 2023 is probably too soon to expect it, but 2024 certainly feels possible.

Believe it or not, Dead Island 2 is not only still real, but it's actually coming out. For those who've been following the troubled trajectory this title has had, you know this is a story almost 10 years in the making. Originally revealed in 2014, Dead Island 2 has died and been resurrected no less than twice, with a new development team taking up the project each time. The average person probably assumed the game was scrapped years ago, but for those who never gave up hope, your faith has been rewarded.

Leaks did take some of the excitement out of Dead Island 2's big re-reveal during Gamescom 2022, but it couldn't stifle what looks to be a game far better than its beleaguered history would lead you to believe. Since so much has changed over the course of development, let alone with the entire gaming landscape, plenty of people may be wondering what all the excitement over this zombie game is all about. Grab yourself a blunt object and get ready to smash some zombie skulls as we run through everything we know about Dead Island 2.
