Granzella Teases That Disaster Report 5 Is Already Being Planned And Prototyped
It seems like Disaster Report fans can now look forward to even more of the series’ survival action in the future!
During its 2020 retrospective, developer Granzella teased that Disaster Report 5 is currently in its planning and prototyping stages. Additionally, the teaser also mentions that this new story may see a return to Stiver Island – the setting of the very first Disaster Report game:
Rumors of a “5“
“There might be some of you saying “All you have to say are advertisements?,” so I will share a bit about our next title.
According to information I acquired from sources I am unable to disclose, planning and partial prototyping for Disaster Report 5 seems to have already begun.
As for whether or not “Stiver Island” (Capital Island) is involved in the story this time… I’ll leave it at that for now as I’d rather not lose my job.
Please look forward to more news in the future!”
As noted by Gematsu, this isn’t the first time that Granzella has playfully hinted at the series’ next entry. In fact, players can talk to an NPC in Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories to change the game’s title screen to “Disaster Report 5?” (seen above). DLC for Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories also includes an NPC that tells the player “It seems Disaster Report 5 takes place between the first and second games…”
Currently, it is unknown if this new entry will be heading to Nintendo Switch. We’ll report back if we hear more in future.
