A critically acclaimed Nintendo Switch exclusive remake has been announced for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. In recent years, Square Enix has put a lot of effort into reviving its classic IP and certain beloved titles, from remasters like Final Fantasy 8 Remastered and Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition to full on remakes like last year's Live A Live, which saw a cult classic SNES RPG finally make its way west in a gorgeous HD-2D reimagining. Now, Square Enix has announced that Live A Live will be coming to PC and PlayStation platforms next month.

Live A Live is a 1994 JRPG developed by Squaresoft that was originally released only in Japan. The game features turn-based combat and follows seven protagonists each with their own self-contained stories that can be played in any order, all of which feature unique settings and mechanics. Stories range from the wild-west, prehistoric times, the Middle Ages, and the far future, culminating in a final story that ties all seven narratives together. The game was the directorial debut on game designer Tokashi Tokita, who would later go on to co-direct Chrono Trigger and Parasite Eve.
