In Square Enix's
Left Alive, the player will have a chance to witness the Garmoniyan invasion of Novo Slava in distant 2127 from the perspectives of three battle-hardened protagonists – Sergeant Mikhail, Captain Kalinina, and ex-soldier Leonid. Considering that the game's release date (March 5, 2019) is approaching fast, it shouldn't be surprising that Square has started to unveil new details on the game.
According to the studio, Olga Kalinina is a "
Novo Slava police officer. She was once a Garmoniyan soldier, but was discharged after the tragedy of losing her only daughter. While pursuing the string of missing persons cases in Novo Slava, Olga meets a girl named Julia in the suburban slums, but gets separated from her after the army’s assault. While searching for an escape route, Olga reunites with Julia and tries to protect her in place of her lost daughter, but she refuses her help and runs away."
"
In search of Julia’s whereabouts, Olga comes to learn of the existence of a huge conspiracy [..] that suddenly broke out in the background of the girl’s inexplicable actions," the description says.
When it comes to the game's other than the standard campaign modes, Square has officially confirmed that a New Game+ mode will be included at launch, as
Left Alive will also feature some multiplayer options that are quite similar to the ones found in the
Dark Souls series and by connecting online, you can switch the map over to a
Heat Map Display, which is used to see where other players have died.
As a reminder, Square has recently revealed that their
Left Alive is a pure single-player experience from start to finish and their upcoming survival title won’t be featuring any full versus or co-op modes.
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.
