We must report that Life is still Strange. A new sequel to the supernatural mystery series was confirmed during Summer Games Fest yesterday, and this time it’s a REAL one — meaning it’s got Max Caulfield in it.
The game takes place a few years after the original Life Is Strange game. Max is now a college student, and wouldn’t you know it, one of her new friends dies horribly. When she tries to use her powers to go back in time and prevent the murder, she discovers they’ve changed: instead of rewinding, Max now has the ability to split dimensions and visit a version of reality where her friend lived. Max hopes to solve the mystery by traveling between both worlds to pin down the identity of her friend’s killer.
So, the million dollar question: where is Chloe Price? Your actions in the first game affected the ending, where Chloe either lived or died. is it canon that Max saved Chloe, or not? The trailer doesn’t go into it at all. Since this takes place years later they could just sidestep the issue and just never mention Chloe, but fans wouldn’t be happy. For what it’s worth, a Life is Strange comic book was released that took place after Game 1 and used the ending where Chloe lived. It lasted quite a few issues too!
Preorders for Life is Strange: Double Exposure are open now. Standard, Deluxe and Ultimate Editions are planned, depending on how much you want to pay. There’s also a “Collectors Edition” exclusive to the Square Enix Store that….doesn’t have the game in it. There’s a hardcover artbook, a vinyl soundtrack and some character cards, but no actual game, not even a download code. I’m not sure why they aren’t just calling it the Vinyl Soundtrack Package since that is the reason people will be getting it.
Life Is Strange: Double Exposure will be released October 29 for Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch, XBox Series X and PC.
