Following a financial report a few months ago from TOEI Animation revealing a possible delay, Bandai Namco has published an official announcement confirming that Digimon Survive will indeed be launching in 2022 instead.

The game’s producer Kazumasa Habu released a message explaining this decision, which you can read below:

To Digimon fans patiently awaiting Digimon Survive,

First of all, we’d like to thank you for your continued patience and support for Digimon Survive. Our original goal was to launch Digimon Survive in 2021. However, due to the need to allocate more time to development, it is necessary to move the game’s release date to 2022. While this decision hasn’t been an easy one, we want to make sure we use this extra time to enhance the quality of the game.

The entire development team is working as hard as we can on the game, and we kindly ask for your patience We look forward to sharing more news and updates about Digimon Survive with you all, soon. Thank you again for your continued support.

—Kazumasa Habu
Producer of Digimon Survive
