Life Is Strange: Reunion Officially Announced By Square And Yup, Chloe Is There

Ten days ago, the European ratings board PEGI published a page for Life Is Strange: Reunion by accident. Usually when a game is rated, it’s very close to release, and it didn’t take long for this one: Square Enix officially revealed the game this afternoon, as well as a release date of two months from now. The description the ratings page published was legit, and Square’s synopsis goes into greater detail. Indeed, Chloe Price is back, reversing the unpopular decision made with Life Is Strange:Double Exposure where Max Caulfield was a few years older and without her pal (or “pal” depending on how you played that game). If you chose to save her, you’ve got a second chance at that relationship — it didn’t end off-camera after all. And if she died at the end of your game, well….she’s not dead anymore! “Max and Chloe’s relationship is at the core of the story,” says senior brand manager Andrew James, “a relationship that YOU will choose how to develop over the course of the game. Whether Chloe lived or died in Arcadia Bay, and whether she and Max were friends or lovers — these choices are key not just to the […]

Thank god. I couldn’t stand Max being alone and miserable in Double Exposure. Bringing Chloe back properly is the bare minimum they owed us. Hope the romance option feels real this time and not forced. Deck Nine has a chance to redeem themselves here.
 
Not gonna lie, this feels like fan service dialed to 11 and I’m completely okay with that. Double Exposure left a bad taste, this seems like they listened. $50 collectors edition might be worth it just for the documentary. Anyone else grabbing that?
Chloe’s back and they’re letting us choose everything again? Yeah I’m sold. Original LiS is still my favorite game ever so anything that gives Max and her more time together is a win in my book
 
I am very excited about this. Max and Chloe’s relationship is my favorite part of Life Is Strange, and it feels good to know the game focuses on that again. I like that the game acknowledges past choices, even if Chloe died before. That shows they care about continuity and the player’s history. I also appreciate that it’s not $70 like some other new releases. The dual pack is a smart idea too; I skipped Double Exposure, so now I can play both without missing anything. I’m hoping Deck Nine really gives them a satisfying conclusion. If this is the last time we see these characters, I want it to feel complete and not leave me wishing for more.
 
Bringing back Chloe after her death seems like the story is just bending to fan pressure. I liked the original ending of Life Is Strange 1 and don’t think it needed rewriting. Still, I get why people are excited. $40 is reasonable, so I might try it. I don’t see myself buying the deluxe or collector’s editions—they feel unnecessary for me. My biggest concern is if Deck Nine can make a story as meaningful as Dontnod did. I hope they don’t just reuse the same ideas. If this really is the last Max and Chloe game, it should feel like a real conclusion, not a reboot to get fans hyped.
 
Lmao they said "this is the LAST one with Max or Chloe" like we believe them. We've heard that before. Next year they'll announce LiS: Max & Chloe Electric Boogaloo when money gets tight again. Still gonna play it though. Can't stay away from these two
 
I’m really happy they’re giving us the chance to shape Max and Chloe’s relationship again. That was always the best part of the first game. It’s also nice that they’re acknowledging past choices instead of ignoring them. I’m curious how they’ll handle players who didn’t save Chloe—does she just appear anyway, or is there some twist? I like that they’re including extras in the collector’s editions, but honestly, I care more about the story than the digital extras. Two months isn’t that long, so I’ll probably wait for a week after launch to see if it’s stable on PC. If this is truly the last game with these characters, I hope it gives a strong emotional payoff.
 
Yessssss Chloe is back baby! I replayed the original like five times just to see different endings with her. Double Exposure was fine but it wasn't the same without my blue-haired troublemaker. This reunion thing sounds perfect. Max and Chloe forever, no matter the timeline. Taking time off work when it drops.
