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.
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
