Survive US Box Art & Pre-Order Bonuses- Guilmon & HP Support Item

[MarcFBR]

A few Digimon Survive updates for the US!

First up, the covers for the 3 physical releases coming to the various consoles. The covers are basically 1:1 to what we've seen pop up in other regions, just with the expected tweaks for the US.


On top of that, we finally have news of pre-order bonus items for the US...

Matching Japan, pre-orders and early copies of the game will come with the bonus Guilmon DLC. It will also include an HP support item. At least for the moment it doesn't appear that either is store exclusive.


Nice to get that detailed with about a month and a half to go and to know the Guilmon is coming along for early buyers.,



Thanks to angry grape juice for the heads up.


Digimon Survive is out July 28th in Japan and July 29th worldwide.

Digimon Survive can be pre-ordered at Amazon.com: (affiliate links)
Digimon Survive for Switch
Digimon Survive for PS4
Digimon Survive for Xbox One

Hopefully England follows suit soon as I'm starting to worry it'll be digital only like France

That Xbox One case looks weird none of my Xbox One cases look like that is that what they look like in USA

 

[TheImpster]

Kinda strange this wasn't announced by the official Digimon games account. But hey, we might even get the cards!

 

[Illu]

Hmm. It says "Free" Guilmon. Maybe that indicates that there's a not free Guilmon in the game.

It gives me the thought that you can actually just find Guilmons in the wild and this gives you one early, like with the Omegamon pre order bonus in Next Order

 

[TheImpster]

Or it means that we have to pay for guilmon DLC otherwise

Seconding this.
Digimon has never locked people out of obtaining a Digimon before via pre-order and it's unlikely they'd start now. They're just a popular Digimon and may be hard to get in-game, so pre-ordering gives you a bit of a boost early game.

This was what I was thinking. Maybe you can only find Guilmons in a Nuclear Power Plant area at the very end of the game or something and the Devs realised people would be pissed if they couldn't have their one earlier. Or maybe it's a NG+ exclusive. Either way, he's probably there in some capacity, I can't imagine they'd stick Terriermon and Renamon in there without Guilmon.

Also, anyone notice that out of all the Tamer's Partner Digimon, The only one who hasn't had a member of their line appear is Cyberdramon?

Not true, actually. The Black Digimon in Cyber Sleuth were pre order only in the US and if you did not pre order them you did not get them. In Europe everyone got them even years later. So unless people bought day one they were locked out of more than 10 Digimon in Cyber Sleuth. HM also had pre order exclusive content though it was shirts rather than monsters that you couldn't get if you never pre ordered. Digimon does actually have a history of making stuff pre order only that doesn't count out later for everyone. I'm not sure about Next Order and whether its pre order DLC was locked behind that, it's not on the PS store so it does appear to be pre order only so the last three games have content exclusive to pre order, Survive would be the odd one out if it didn't.

 

[AngelOmega]

Finally! Kinda wonder now if I will buy the Switch or PS4 version though... Hard to decide.

Apart from the US, Europe will have the pre order bonus?

 

[CrimsoniteX]

Excited it is finally coming out!

Really want to play it on Steam Deck, but Proton compatibility is a gamble. Switch is safer but may suffer from performance issues... decisions decisions.

 

[Katsu Hikaru]

Honestly I'm still waiting for Digital pre order verisons for Survive with Guilmon makes me wonder if we will get any other lead Digimon in the game like Ulforceveedramon or Alphamon since I'm not getting my hopes up for fusion/jorgess Digimon unfortunately.

It seems this notice has already been removed from Amazon again. (That or I’m blind.)

I believe Both Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's memory had pre-order exclusive digimon, though in Hacker's Memory it was just the sistermon's and NX digimon.

It's still there

 

[Bancho]

"Free Guilmon" probably refers to it not costing money but there's a small chance it's referring to the type of Digimon it is in-game as "Free" is a category of Digimon in Survive

It's still there

For what it’s worth, I haven’t managed to get hold of any other person who sees it currently. Even one who saw it previously no longer does. (The other people I’ve talked to and myself don’t even know where it was supposed to be visible, so I could’ve imagined that we weren’t looking in the right place, although we feel like we’ve looked everywhere.)

 

[Unknown Neo]

Well, I'll have to get it soon then. Getting Guilmon, probably early, is a good idea & a good thing to offer.

 

[Santaskid]

I just noticed the launch bonus wording

It's not a pre order bonus. I mean maybe it's semantics but I can't help but think of how pokemon does the early purchase bonuses.

Blazikenite Torchic
Snorlaxium Z munchlax
G max meowth
Manaphy egg
Growlithe kimono set

These weren't exactly pre order bonuses since they were mystery gift items offered up to a certain day. While we've seen actual pre order bonuses unlock stuff via a code, like the Eevee and Pikachu outfits in sword and shield (I think they were expansion pass pre orders or w/e)

Seems like Amazon took that image down for some reason. Bamco probably told them to wait until anime Expo.
