With the year almost coming to a close, I sadly have to inform you about Bandai Namco officially delaying Digimon Survive. It was pretty evident that this would happen, but let us go over the news quickly, shall we?
Latest News
As the headline suggests, Digimon Survive has been delayed yet again. According to TOEI Animation's latest financial report, the release date has been pushed back from its intended release timeframe in 2021 to "Q3 2022 and beyond." Please note that Q3 does not pertain to the 3rd quarter of 2022, but their fiscal year, which ends on 31 March 2022.
A couple of days ago, I posted a news article about a new Digimon MMO called Digimon Super Rumble and ended on the note that we all should be cautious about it as a proper announcement was still missing. But guess what happened? We got a confirmation - and tons of information (mainly images).
Digimon is on the "ReArise!" Beginning in 2020 and following up in 2021, we have gotten a lot of Digimon content, products, and shows. The card game is a hit; fans love the 2020 Adventure anime; Digimon Survive seems to be shaping up to be released this year - and now a rumor about a Digimon MMO.
Almost two weeks ago, I published news about Digimon Survive's release timeframe found in Toei Animations financial report scheduling its release for Fall 2021. Now, Bandai Namco Entertainment has lowkey confirmed its release for this year, albeit not announcing the game's release timeframe officially.
As I do every few days, I was looking for Digimon Survive information once again today, and for a change, I found some! About two days ago, Toei Animations released their financial report for the last fiscal year, in which they shared their company growth, sales, brand reach, and much more with their investors. In addition, they also released their roadmap for the coming year in this document - and among them, Digimon Survive's planned release date!
As technologies and design philosophies continue to evolve, so should the projects created with them. And what better time to make announcements to change than right before a birthday. Grindosaur is about to turn two years old, and with it will come a realignment of the brand.
Oh boy, initially, I had scheduled this post for early January, and look at the date now. As of writing this, it is March 14th. We are already three months into the year, and only now can I take the time to write down a couple of passages. 2020 has been a heck of a year for pretty well-known reasons, and 2021 seems to follow in its footsteps. But we are gamers, and you are browsing Grindosaur - so enough with this real-life nonsense; let us focus on what went on behind the scenes and what I have in store for you in the upcoming year! By the way, I am kidding; We have to talk about personal matters here and real-life in general. I am healthy, and I hope that you are too. Let's go!
Now it is official, Cyberpunk 2077 will not be released in November. This is the third time that the highly anticipated role-playing game from CD Project Red has been postponed.
