IDEA FACTORY INTERNATIONAL has announced that the Date A Live: Ren Dystopia visual novel will have its Steam release on September 5.
Ren Dystopia originally launched for the PlayStation 4 in Japan in 2020. Its original story features nine routes and more than 15 endings, and introduces the game-original character Ren (voiced by Rie Takahashi). It’s also the visual novel debut of Natsumi Kyono.
The synopsis is:
A newly emergent spirit named Natsumi ends up in the crosshairs of Deus Ex Machina Industry. Shido defends Natsumi from Deus Ex Machina Industry and manages to seal her powers. Following the transformation and inversion caused by Origami, Shido manages to reshape the world to protect it, eventually sealing Origami. Enemies may still lurk about, but Shido and his friends savor the peace they’ve secured through their ordeals. After an ordinary evening spent among friends, Shido has an unusual dream. He hears a mysterious voice calling out from the shadows. Upon waking up the next morning, Shido discovers a peculiar container adorned with a snake pattern under his pillow. Thinking it might be a prank, Shido asks around for the container’s owner. But when they try to open it…
Ren Dystopia‘s Steam release will come with English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese language options. A Deluxe Edition with bonuses like a digital art collection, the Natsumi Encounter and Origami Friendship audio dramas, the official soundtrack, and the Ren Masques short novel will also be available.
There will also be a 15% launch discount that will last for a week. IDEA FACTORY INTERNATIONAL also says that owners of Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation will get a “10% Complete the Set Bundle discount” for Ren Dystopia.
