The Japanese publishing company Kadokawa recently announced their plans to release a brand new mobile game adaptation of the popular anime and light novel series “Date A Live”.  This new mobile title, “Date A Live Spirit Crisis”, will be launching in Japan as part of the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Date A Live anime series.

As of now, not much has been relieved about the game, but the company has set up an official website and a Twitter AC, which you can visit for updates. 

The Date A Live Franchise

Here is the short version for those who don’t know about the Date A Live series. In the world of Date A Live, a dangerous phenomenon called spacequakes pops up every now and then, causing massive damage and loss of life. Shido Itsuka, the protagonist of the story, has the power to seal the beings responsible (Spirits) by making them fall in love with him and then kissing them.  

Date A Live started as a light novel series written by Kōshi Tachibana and illustrated by Tsunako released in March 2011. Then the Date A Live anime launched in April 2013, and over the years, the franchise has been adapted into 4 games, manga, and a movie.

The upcoming Date A Live Crisis will likely be a romantic visual novel with an action element just like the previous mobile title “Date A Live: Spirit Pledge”.
