At the press conference prior to Sony's Tokyo Game Show 2017, Square Enix announced yet another new game that will release in 2018 for the Playstation 4 and Steam. Titled Left Alive, the game is described as a "brand-new survival action shooter" set in a "dark and gritty world." A teaser trailer for the game was also shown but no gameplay footage was included.

The teaser trailer opens with a scene of a hotel hallway at Christmas time. The quiet, peaceful scene is interrupted by the sound of gunfire. A door is abruptly blasted off, revealing a war-torn city filled with burning buildings. Strange, futuristic aircraft can be spotted flying overhead.

The game will be directed by Toshifumi Nabeshima. Nabeshima's credits include Armored Core, a third-person action video game franchise that focuses on mech combat. Takayuki Yanase, who designed mechs in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, will be lending his talents to Left Alive. Also working on the game is Yoji Shinkawa, a character designer known for his work on the Metal Gear Solid franchise. Some of Shinkawa's character designs for Left Alive were shown during the press conference.
