Compile Heart held the Compile Heart TV #3 stream on June 30, making multiple announcements. The stream featured Compile Heart’s President Norihisa Kochiwa and Compile Heart “Info Broker” Hitomi Isaka. At the end of the stream, at around the 10:30 mark, President Kochiwa and Isaka started chatting about the PS5. She asked him if Compile Heart has plans for PS5. Basically, Kochiwa didn’t directly answer but strongly hinted that the answer is yes through a staged comedy skit, and more info will be coming at a later date.
Alternatively, the stream also revealed a new trailer and the release date for the 4th and newestDALadaptation,Date A Live Ren Dystopia.The game is coming September 24 in Japan, exclusively on PS4. All three previousDate A Livegames have been localized on PS4 and Steam through the localization ofDate A Live Rio Reincarnation. The third game in the series, which also included remasters of the first two.As such,Ren Dystopiawill probably be announced westwards by Idea Factory International at some point.
Date A Live Ren Dystopiawas announcedback in January 2019and was supposed to launch in Summer 2019 but got delayed. Japanese games always get delayed, but it was a pretty long delay. I translated a lot of about the game in the past so I’ll just redirect you to that(hereandhere) and thegame’s official website.
