Super Famicom JRPG Live A Live Makes Its Western Debut In July

Today’s Nintendo Direct brought the surprising announcement that Live A Live is making its way to the West for the first time ever. For JRPG fans, this is an exciting development.

Live A Live will get an Octopath Traveler style facelift with the same HD-2D artistic direction. The game stars eight heroes and is told through eight scenarios set during different time periods such as prehistory, imperial China, the Wild West, the distant future, and more. You can also find a gameplay hook in each story, like stealth or psychic ability. 

Switch launches Live A Live on July 22.
