Square Enix has released a new set of short trailers and screenshots for the LIVE A LIVE HD-2D remake introducing the game’s “Present Day” and “The Distant Future” time periods.

Here is an overview of each chapter, via Square Enix:

Present Day – In this chapter, you will assume the role of Masaru Takahara, a mixed martial artist who, like many, dreams of becoming the world’s strongest fighter. He truly believes he has what it takes to claim the title, and by making the skills of other masters his own, he intends to prove himself. Muay Thai, professional wrestling, lucha libre, Koppo, sambo, and sumo—he strives to learn the most powerful techniques of these storied traditions and more. All he needs to do is to bait his opponents into revealing their secrets…
The Distant Future – One of the various stories, “The Distant Future” tells a tragedy that happens in the transport freighter Cogito Ergo Sum. In this chapter, you will assume the role of Cube, an autonomous support unit built by the engineer Kato. Alas, as a series of incidents put the safety and well-being of the ship’s crew in jeopardy, tensions mount and tempers flare, and Cube finds themselves swept up in their disputes…

LIVE A LIVE is due out for Switch on July 22 worldwide.
