Few franchises in video game history have the unique and tumultuous story that the Disaster Report series has. It has faced real world tragedy, cancelations and even a complete change in staff and developers making the game’s title kind of ironic as well.
Miraculously, current developer Granzella has kept the survival series alive and moving forward. To celebrate a challenging year filled with both challenges and triumphs for the studio, the company released a 2020 year in retrospective article, while also giving hints about the future of the Disaster Report series.

The article itself details the journey the development team and community has been on. Curiously, and to the joy of many in the fanbase, Granzella teased plans for the next entry in the series, Disaster Report 5. It may not be the first tease of a new game, but coming from Granzella directly, it makes it the most official.
“Rumors of a “5“: There might be some of you saying “All you have to say are advertisements?,” so I will share a bit about our next title. According to information I acquired from sources I am unable to disclose, planning and partial prototyping for Disaster Report 5 seems to have already begun. As for whether or not “Stiver Island” (Capital Island) is involved in the story this time… I’ll leave it at that for now as I’d rather not lose my job. Please look forward to more news in the future!”
Releasing on November 22nd 2018, Disaster Report 4 was originally in development for the PlayStation 3 by Irem 7 years earlier, but was delayed and then ultimately cancelled due to the real life disaster and tragedy of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In 2014, current developers Granzella acquired the intellectual property and gave the series new life.
With the nearly unprecedented real world hurtles the developers and the fan favorite Disaster Report franchise has had to face, its hard not too want to wish success upon them. Long time fans thankfully now have the promise of a 5th entry in the series to look forward too sometime in the future.
Disaster Report 4 is available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC
