Date A Live for PS Vita Previewed in Promo Video
posted on by Egan Loo
The official website for the PS Vita game Date A Live Twin Edition: Rio Reincarnation began streaming the promotional video that debuted at AnimeJapan 2015 this past weekend. The video introduces the paradise world of Eden and the Irregular race that sprang into being in the digital world.
This new edition combines the two previous PlayStation 3 games Date A Live: Rinnne Utopia (2013) and Date A Live: Ars Install (2014). It also adds a brand-new Rio Reincarnation scenario.
This new edition will debut this summer.
Tachibana's original Date A Live light novel series centers on a boy named Shidō Itsuka who meets a spirit girl who has been rejected by a devastated world. The girl, who Shidō names "Tohka," happens to have wiped out much of humanity 30 years ago, and now she is back. The only way to stop her is to date her.
The game allows the player to interact with all of the heroines in a school setting. According to a teaser by the light novels' publisher Enterbrain, players can also go beyond the “date,” and even see their love interest as a pregnant wife in the future after marriage.
A television anime also premiered in 2013, and a second season aired last year. Funimation streamed both series as they aired, and has also acquired home video rights for both series.
