When does Digimon Survive launch

Ryokyuta is a Japanese website centered around anime, manga, and video games. The site reported that Digimon Survive will release in Japan on July 28 of this year. Ryokyuta is a site that accurately reports on news from Famitsu, so the information is reliable.

The launch of Digimon Survive seems to be a step forward for the series in terms of timing. For comparison, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory was first released in Japan in mid-December 2017 but wasn’t released worldwide until mid-January 2018. Western fans may have expected a year-long wait, but that’s not the case at all.

In Digimon Survive, players are transported to a strange world filled with mysterious monsters. A dense fog surrounds the local area, and it’s down to you to figure out why that fog is there, and what it’s hiding. There are many choices to make that inform how the story plays out, as well as strategic turn-based battles involving every Digimon you can imagine.
