It was subsequently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/07\/digimon_survive_producer_explains_why_the_game_has_been_delayed_until_2020\">delayed to 2020<\/a>, then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/10\/digimon_survive_has_been_delayed_to_2021\">to 2021<\/a>, and <em>then<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2021\/10\/digimon-survive-producer-habu-kazumasa-officially-confirms-2022-delay\">to 2022<\/a> &#8211; crikey. Like many developers, it seems the COVID-19 pandemic caused havoc for production of the game, with the game&#8217;s producer, Kazumasa Habu, directly sourcing the pandemic when the game&#8217;s delay into 2021 was originally announced.<\/p>\n<p>The release date comes from a Japanese magazine, so whether Digimon Survive will launch worldwide on the same date is currently up in the air. Once Bandai Namco confirms for definite, we&#8217;ll be sure to let you know.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you confident Digimon Survive will actually release on July 28th? Will you be picking it up?
