Digimon Survive has now appeared on the American ESRB rating system. The game has been rated T for Teen and will be available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Here is the summary that was written about the game, apparently there’s gonna be some swear words in it.
This is a visual novel, with strategy/role-playing game elements, in which players follow Japanese teenagers lost in a world of monsters. As players follow the storyline, they periodically engage in turn-based battles using Digimon (monsters with special powers/abilities). As human and Digimon characters move around grid-like battlefields, players select attack moves/skills from a menu and watch short animations of monsters executing moves. Attacks can include kicking, biting, blasts of energy, and elemental bursts. One cutscene briefly depicts a still image of a bloodstained corpse. Out of a variety of attack moves, Digimon can perform a Poop Toss, which is depicted as a cartoony poo coil thrown at opponents and is accompanied by squishy sound effects. The words “sh*t,” “b*tch,” and “p*ssed” appear in the dialogue.
This appearance on the ESRB comes after months of Digimon Survive appearing on rating boards across the world including Brazil, and Australia before being confirmed to have been delayed to 2022.
Digimon Survive was originally announced in 2018 as the next game in the Digimon video game series. The fact that is appearing in so many rating boards means that the game must be nearer to completion with at least demos coming out to the ESRB and other boards.
Hopefully, Digimon Survive really will survive to 2022.
