According to producer Takashi Tokita, a sequel to the hit RPG Live A Live may be possible if the recent remake sells well enough on PlayStation and Steam. In a recent video, Tokita answered questions from fans, one of which was about the possibility of a Live A Live II.

The Live A Live remake was launched for Nintendo Switch in 2022 and has sold at least 500,000 copies. However, it is unclear how well the game has performed commercially on other platforms. It was later released on PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam in 2023 and was critically well-received.
