Video: Bandai Namco Releases New Commercial For Digimon Survive

Coming out same time as xenoblade is not smart. Still may get this but I was more excited for it a year ago.

i just need lucemon....

Care 0.00000000000000 about this game, please make a big open-world Digimon game like Pokémon Scarlet Violet, Bandai.

@HenHiro If you want big open world digimon. There the digimon world games.

This game really needs more trailers, especially showing features like how digievolution and digimon's stats/skills/etc are handled.

It won't beat Xenoblade hype, but it can definitely win over many digimon's fans with the right trailer and features.

@Floki yeah but they're not thaaaat good and not on Switch. I would like a new one, with a big budget and on my favourite hybrid console.Or a an improved port of Next Order, with new features, quality of life, I would take that too.

These last games like Cybersleuth were a baffling misdirection for the series, who thought making a pseudo-detective Digimon game was a good idea? And now an ultra-niche game like Survive.

well that answers everyquestion. still excited as digimon rule

@HenHiro That may not be great. But they're at least better than whatever garbage the Pokemon Co and Gamefreak will be releasing at the end of the year.

And requesting a big budget anything from Bandai is like asking for pigs to fly. Lmao. Look at how well they're treating the DBZ, Naruto, and One piece license.

Both Cybersleuth and now Survive are fantastic ideas. It bring fresh ideas to IPs that have outlived their stay. Why do you think we got the same thing from Pokemon with detective Pikachu and pokemon Conquest?

@Floki "fresh ideas" that NO ONE cares about. With Pokémon, we still get mainline games. With Digimon, we only got weird spin-offs for 6 years.

You obviously don't follow the gaming market closely, have you heard about a tiny game called "Elden Ring" that sold 20 million copies?

And you obviously also don't play Pokémon. PLA was great and Scarlet and Violet look very promising.

Looks like there's an investigation mechanic with the phone which seems cool

@HenHiro Well there isn't really a mainline digimon game, so stuff like Survive and Cybersleuth aren't spin offs. The closest thing a spin off for digimon probably digimon digital card battle.

I don't really see what Elden Ring has to do with this? Elden Ring was the way it was cause Fromsoftware, not Bandai. LMAO.

Actually, I have played PLA. Pre-order and played it day 1. But Scarlet/Violet doesn't look promising in the slightest, and this coming from someone who have played EVERY pokemon spinoff and mainline game, and double dips for each version. Maybe what ever they show off today will change my mind. If not, this will probably be the first release I skip in 21 years.

@Floki Bandai Namco is the publisher for Elden Ring, Bandai at least co-financed the project, and a large part of that 1 billion dollars+ from the 20 mil sold copies goes to Bandai, so they could invest that money into new projects, and Digimon is the biggest franchise that Bandai really owns, if I'm not mistaking anything, all those other anime games they do, they're licensed, it's not Bandais IP, but they do fully own Digimon.

Well, you're probably one of the few people in the world who thinks the first open-world Pokemon is not exciting.

@HenHiro
I'm curious where you got the 20+ million copies of Elden Ring sold. I absolutely loved the game, one of my favorites of the year so far, but the last report I saw had it at 13.4 million copies sold and that was 2 or 3 weeks ago. I hope it goes strong for awhile to come, and possibly surpasses that 20 million copies mark, but I do feel it hurts it to inflate the numbers, even on a simple message board.

@HenHiro Like I said, Elden Ring is the way it is cause of Fromsoftware not Bandai. Bandai is willing to invest simply cause Fromsoftware name alone will see a return on that investment. Digimon is far from the biggest franchise they own as the popularity of the IP has dwindled since the 90s. Gundam is Bandai biggest franchise by far. Probably followed by the Tales of games and tekken if we're not talking about licensed IPs.

But Bandai rather shovel out mid budget games cause they know fans will eat that garbage up. If Bandai isn't willing to put actual money behind a DBZ game or Gundam game. Something that will have a bigger return investment compared to digimon. I doubt we'll get any big budget digimon games.

An open world pokemon game doesn't excite me if the game quality doesn't hold up. PLA had plenty of quality issues that I doubt will be fix in these games.

@Floki @HenHiro
"Well there isn't really a mainline digimon game, so stuff like Survive and Cybersleuth aren't spin offs. The closest thing a spin off for digimon probably digimon digital card battle."
adding onto this, digimon runs off a multiverse so the games, anime series & manga are all most likely within the same multiverse


a list of currently known connections...
ryo was originally from adventure 99 universe, jumped across timespace while fighting millenniummon even visiting the v-tamer universe along the way eventually settling in the tamers universe with amnesia upon arrival.
adventure 99's ENIAC laid down the groundwork for the rest of the digital worlds in the digimon multiverse.
during a fight with parallelmon, the 02 kids got dragged into v-tamers universe.
takuya from digimon frontier and v-tamer taichi got dragged into the same universe to deal with a threat before being returned to their own universes
the MCs from the digimon NEXT manga as well as the MCs from data squad/savers showed up in digimon world dawn and dusk.
the MCs of adventure 99, 02, tamers, frontier & savers were brought into the xros wars anime universe to help with the fight against quartzmon. the MCs of adventure 99 and 02 were brought from 2 different points in time, though it was never made clear which point in time TK & kari were brought from.
the taichi from adventure: (2020) was brought into the v-tamer universe by v-tamer taichi's crest of courage.
the xros wars manga takes place in v-tamer's future. additionally, the gatomon and wizardmon that showed up in the xros wars manga were from adventure 99's universe. at some point gatomon separated from kari and gathered up wizardmons scattered data from across the multiverse.
then theres the unique case of a universe with 2 different digital worlds connected to the same real world.... the digital world from digimon world 1 is the same one in redigitize decode, with redigitize being years into the future of DW1. at the same time, theres also the digital world from next order which is connected to the same real world.
sayo from digimon world dusk, rina and mirei both showed up in cybersleuth and hacker's memory. mirei's description on cybersleuth's website also confirmed that she never managed to get her physical body back afterthe events of redigitize
the meicoomon from tri showed up in next order which is also were she got cured of the apocalymon fragment inbetween the end of tri and last kizuna.
something else to note here is that the events of savers/data squad might have been caused by xros wars anime version of bagramon
