Retro JRPG Live A Live Coming to Steam and PlayStation Consoles in April, Demo Version Available Now

LIVE A LIVE, originally only released for the Super Famicom in Japan, is being revived on Steam and PlayStation consoles! Experience this legendary RPG, brought to life in the same HD-2D visual style as OCTOPATH TRAVELER. Meet seven heroes, each with their own unique abilities and lives to live across different time periods. Experience their stories in any order you choose, uncovering shocking developments along the way

Featuring remastered music from original composer Yoko Shimomura and produced by Takashi Tokita (the director of the original game), this remake retains everything that players loved about the original while also being accessible to newcomers.
What is LIVE A LIVE?
In 1994, the original LIVE A LIVE released for the Super Nintendo, exclusively in Japan. It was a distinctly different type of RPG - rather than tell one epic, continuous narrative, it focused on eight tales spread throughout time, from prehistory to the distant future. This new game resurrects the classic game for modern audiences around the world with the stunning HD-2D visual style as featured in OCTOPATH TRAVELER II and a beautiful, rearranged soundtrack fully supervised by original composer, Yoko Shimomura.

Everything that made the original game so great - and so unique - is here, with eight memorable characters spread out across all of history. There's no set path through the game - you can pick which character to start with and play through seven of the stories in any order (the eighth story is the finale… but no spoilers here!). Each tale acts as a sort of mini-RPG, with its own setting and even adding unique mechanics, making for an extremely varied and replayable game that always has a new surprise round the corner. Here's who you'll get to play as… and when.
