Experimental RPG Live A Live Coming to PC, PS4 and PS5
Square Enix has announced that Live A Live, the excellent jRPG from Nintendo Switch, is coming soon to PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Live A Live, one of the best jRPGs to hit the Nintendo Switch last year, will be ported to other hardware platforms.
- Square Enix has announced that Live A Live is heading to PC, PlayStation 5 and PS5.
- The PC release will be sold on Steam.
- The game will debut on PC, PS4 and PS5 on April 27, this year.
- A demo of the game will soon be made available on the afforementioned platforms.
Live A Live is a remake of the classic jRPG of the same name, originally released in 1994 for the 16-bit Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) console.. The game never left the borders of the Land of the Rising Sun, so its refreshed version was the first official English-language version.
A grand experiment
Despite being a remake, Live A Live turned out to be one of the most unusual jRPG launches of last year..
- The original was highly experimental and few other games have followed suit.
- The game presents the story of eight characters within nine different scenarios.
- Each adventure takes place in different setting - from prehistoric times to the far future - and offers unique mechanics to enhance gameplay.
The remake met with a warm reception - on Metacritic the Switch edition of Live A Live has an average rating of 81%.
