About Date A Live
Date A Live Rinne Utopia released 2013 on PS3 from Compile Heart about Shido dating Spirits with Rinne island. It runs routes with affection choices that teach date battles.
Arusu Install followed 2014 with new Spirit Arusu and daily maps, and Rio Reincarnation in 2015 bundles both plus Rio arc on PS4. Each entry assumes prior Spirits, so newcomers play Rinne to Rio straight for dates. The pace stays steady across entries, with each part adding new faces without losing the core tone. New jobs appear often, with each fix teaching care without losing humor and keeping friends clear.
Good to know
There is no separate story order worth listing since Rinne to Rio run as one school year with the same Spirits, so release order is play order. Play Rinne Utopia fully before Arusu, since dates return. Treat the trilogy as complete with Rio as finale, and save anime for after since games add new girls. Plan extra time for finales, since later parts assume full knowledge of earlier twists.
