DATE A LIVE: Rio Reincarnation

DATE A LIVE: Rio Reincarnation is a visual novel adaptation of the popular light novel series that has spawned multiple anime adaptations. Set thirty years after catastrophic events called spacequakes caused by mysterious entities known as Spirits, the story follows Shido Itsuka, a high school student who discovers he possesses a unique ability to seal away a Spirit's powers through romantic connection. Rather than combat, Shido must use the power of love to save both the world and the Spirits themselves.

The game offers an extensive dating simulation experience with eleven dateable characters and over 150 unique dating events. Your choices throughout interactions with each girl directly influence Shido's destiny and determine which endings become available. The Rio Reincarnation release includes an exclusive character, Rio Sonogami, alongside ten additional sub-characters that provide supplementary story content.

This release is comprehensive, including three previously localized light novels with English translations, rough sketches, and comedic strips. Additionally, it compiles content from two earlier PlayStation 3 entries—Rinne Utopia and Arusu Install—allowing players to experience revised endings and new event artwork.
