Digimon Survive[a] is an upcoming survival strategy role-playing video game developed by Witchcraft and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows in 2021.[1]

Gameplay

Player choices influence the direction of the story, including the Digimon's digivolution process. Multiple playthroughs can result in different paths and different digivolutions.[2] The game will feature multiple endings and should wrong choices be made, characters will be killed.[3] The game is split into multiple types of gameplay, such as "Drama Parts", "Search Action", "Free Action", and "Free Battle". During "Drama Parts" the game proceeds as a text adventure to tell the story. In "Search Actions", the player searches for a way to survive. In "Free Action", the player chooses where to go and whom to talk during a limited window of time. During "Free Battle", the player can enter certain areas to train their Digimon and collect items.[4]

Plot

Takuma Momozuka, Minoru Hyuuga, Aoi Shibuya, Saki Kimijima, Ryou Tominaga, Shuuji Kayama, Kaito Shinonome, Miu Shinonome, and others are on a historical studies extracurricular activities camp during spring break. On the second day Takuma, Minoru and Aoi visit a famous local temple to investigate the legend of the "Beast Gods" (Kemonogami) where a festival to celebrate them will take place. As they explore, they come across Koromon, then hear screaming. Koromon and the group run to the source and find their classmates being attacked by other Digimon. Koromon digivolves to Agumon and scares the Digimon away. It is at this point, that Takuma and the others discover they are in another world.

Development

Digimon Survive was first announced in a July 2018 issue of the Japanese magazine V Jump for release on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch consoles.[5] The western version was announced by Bandai on YouTube through a trailer, with Xbox One and Steam being included in the platforms.[6] On July 6, 2019, the game was delayed to 2020.[7] On July 29, 2020, Toei Animation Europe stated Survive will release in Europe in January 2021[8] however this was removed from their website on August 4.The official cinematic opening trailer for Digimon Survivor was published on July 22, 2019.[9] On October 8, 2020, game producer Kazumasa Habu stated on Twitter it was delayed again as the game system for Survive was being reviewed and they had to redo their schedule from scratch.[10] On October 15, it was officially announced by Bandai that the release date of the game was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] As of now, there is no set release date. During the 2021 E3, there was little mention about the development of Digimon Survive.[11]
