The wait is over, the English release of Ren Dystopia is here. DATE A LIVE fans have been eating good lately. The fourth and fifth seasons are tremendous, the Kurumi spin-off was remarkable. In addition to that, just a couple years ago we got the localization triple pack of the visual novels. It’s truly a franchise that passed the test of the time and it’s not done yet. Ren Dystopia is the fourth visual novel in the franchise following the story of the mysterious spirit Ren. Synopsis will be posted below. This is a sequel to the first three visual novels in the Rio Reincarnation pack so please check that out first before playing this one. Furthermore, if you’ve been out of the DAL loop for a while, watching Season 3 will get you up-to-speed. The game is available for $33.99 during its launch with a Digital Deluxe Edition at $50.99.
