Sci-fi Survival Shooter Left Behind Now Available

LEFT ALIVE, the survival action shooter game from SQUARE ENIX, is now available for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and PC (via STEAM).

For all players, two free bonus DLC are available that add fun cosmetic changes to the LEFT ALIVE experience. Players can download the LEFT ALIVE World of Tanks Collaboration DLC, which offers in-game World of Tanks backpack and posters. Players on STEAM can also pick up the LEFT ALIVE Half-Life Collaboration DLC, which reskins your crowbar to look like the one used by Gordon Freeman in Half-Life.

Gaming industry veterans Toshifumi Nabeshima (director, Armored Core series), Takayuki Yanase (mech designer, Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Xenoblade Chronicles X) and Yoji Shinkawa from KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS (character designer, METAL GEAR series) came together to develop the unique survival action shooter title. Shinkawa’s designs breathed life into each playable character, from the young Ruthenian staff sergeant Mikhail, to confident Nova Slava police force captain Olga, and ex-member of the rebel movement Leonid, who was framed for murder and sentenced to death.

LEFT ALIVE is now available for $59.99 on the PlayStation 4 system and on STEAM. The limited Mech Edition bundle is available exclusively from the Square Enix Store for $159.99, and includes the Day One Edition of the game, a Volk Action Figure, Hardback Art Collection, exclusive SteelBook® Case, and Collector’s Box.

John Breeden II

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
