posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The official website of Compile Heart's Date A Live Twin Edition: Rio Reincarnation PS Vita game began streaming the game's opening movie on Wednesday. The video previews the game's characters, and features the song "Key of Truth" by the group sweet ARMS.
In addition, the website has confirmed that Compile Heart will release the game on the PS Vita on July 30. The game will come in standard, limited, and digital download editions. The standard edition will cost 7,344 yen (around US$61), while the limited edition will cost 9,504 yen (around US$79). The digital download edition will cost 6,480 yen (around US$54).
The game's official website also previously streamed a promotional video for the game last month. The site added more sample character voices, gallery images, and cast interviews this week.
This new edition combines the two previous PlayStation 3 games Date A Live: Rinnne Utopia (2013) and Date A Live: Ars Install (2014). The game also adds a brand-new Rio Reincarnation scenario.
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, whom 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 players 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 adaptation of the light novel series 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.
