Gaming enthusiasts, rejoice! Square Enix’s beloved classic role-playing game, “Live A Live,” is coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam on April 27, 2023. The gaming company has also released a free demo of the game that features the first three stories across all platforms, which players can try out today.
A Remastered Classic RPG
“Live A Live” was first released exclusively for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1994 in Japan. However, it garnered a cult following worldwide over the years, leading to its eventual global release on the Nintendo Switch in 2022. Players loved the game’s unique structure of eight separate stories that interconnect for a climactic final chapter, taking them on a journey from prehistoric times to the distant future.
The remastered version of the game boasts updated graphics and improved sound quality, giving the classic game a modern touch. The remastering also includes reworked controls for new players and quality-of-life improvements, benefiting returning fans. Overall, the remastered classic promises to offer players an epic RPG adventure that combines multiple genres, including science fiction, horror, and western.
Pre-Order and Discounts
Players can pre-order “Live A Live” from the PlayStation Store now, with a 20% discount for pre-order purchases on all platforms. However, the Steam version of the game still does not have pre-order access at this time.

Free Demo Version
The demo version of the game released today features The Wild West, Twilight of Edo Japan, and The Distant Future stories. Each story is a self-contained epic adventure that follows different characters in different timelines, but they all connect in strange and surprising ways by the end of the game.
The free demo version is available now for PlayStation and Steam users, and all progress made in the demo version can be carried forward into the full game. Square Enix’s decision to release the demo version is an excellent way for players to get a taste of what to expect from the game.
