Considering that
Kingdom Hearts III finally launched yesterday, Square Enix can now focus on their next big thing, the upcoming
Front Mission spin-off titled
Left Alive that releases in just over a month (on March 5th, to be exact). At its core,
Left Alive is a shooter with elements of survival and a strong emphasis on "
exploring the long history of humanity's failures" from three different perspectives.
To develop this brand new title, Square has assembled an impressive group of famous (not only in Japan) creators, including Producer Toshifumi Nabeshima (the
Armored Core series), Art Designer Yoji Shinkawa (the
Metal Gear Solid franchise), and Illustrator Takayuki Yanase (
Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Xenoblade Chronicles X), who are working together to deliver a more adult-oriented experience.
The single-player competent won't be the only way to play
Left Alive, as the upcoming title will also feature a
New Game+ mode (included at launch) and some
Dark Souls-inspired multiplayer options, allowing you to switch the map over to a
Heat Map Display, which is used to see where other players have died. Be sure to take a closer look at
Left Alive and a ton of new gameplay footage down below:
LEFT ALIVE tells a human story of survival from the perspective of three different protagonists during the devastating invasion set in war-torn Novo Slava in 2127. Experience the massive power gap between man and machine in pulse-pounding encounters: face off against powerfully armed troops, armored vehicles and towering mechs. Uncover the full story behind the war through the eyes of three different characters: as you progress through the game, experience multiple story paths each requiring bold decisions with desperate consequences.
Left Alive will be available for PlayStation 4 and Steam on the 5th of March.
