During a livestream from Tokyo, Bandai Namco unveiled the upcoming new Digimon game, Digimon Survive. Also during the live stream, Kazumasa Habu confirmed that a new Digimon Story is currently in development.
Digimon Survive was introduced by producers Kazumasa Habu and Katsuaki Tsuzuki. It was defined a survival simulation RPG.
Check the teaser trailer down below:
“The gameplay is split between a “drama part” where the story develops and a “battle part” where combat between monsters happens.
In Digimon Survive, the protagonist Takuma Momotsuka, whose name cannot be changed since he talks and others will call him by name, is mysteriously transported from camp to another world. He and others will survive in this world at close quarters with death while exploring and making various choices. One of the game’s key features is “growth that changes based on choice.” The multi-ending story and digivolutions will change based on those choices, and several characters may even die. According to Digimon game series producer Kazumasa Habu, he wanted to incorporate “the digivolution of partner Digimon through character development” as seen in the Digmon Adventure anime into the game system.
The story develops through drama parts consisting of exploration, conversations with characters, and events, while turn-based strategy RPG battles play out through battle parts. Digimon can digivolve during battle by meeting certain conditions and consuming Energy. Energy can be recovered by attacking enemies and talking to Digimon during battle. The latter can also extend digivolution time. While there are about 100 playable Digimon, Habu noted that Digimon Survive places more emphasis on the story than it does collecting Digimon. Also, unlike the Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth games, there are essentially no sci-fi elements in Digimon Survive.”
