Fans were treated to the first look at Life is Strange Double Exposure at the Xbox Games Showcase last night. Created by Deck Nine and Square Enix, this new game promises to be a gripping experience for new and returning players.
It’s set to drop on Oct. 29, 2024, hitting Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch a few months later.
In this latest installment, we see Max Caufield back in action, diving into a new spooky murder mystery. The trailer gives us a peek at Max’s struggle to save her new close friend Safi, but things twist when she stumbles into a parallel timeline. In one reality, Safi’s alive but in trouble, and Max has to juggle both timelines to save the day.
Fans of the original Life is Strange series will be stoked to see Max front and center again, dealing with new challenges and tough choices. The trailer hints at a more grown-up Max, wrestling with her powers and the consequences of her past decisions.
But what about Max’s old best friend (and potential lover, depending on your choices), the punk-rock, trouble-loving Chloe Price? She’s noticeably absent from the trailer, leading to some wild theories about the first game’s ending. Could the “bay” ending, where players sacrifice Chloe to save Arcadia Bay, be the real deal?
Life is Strange: Double Exposure outfits, editions and pre-order perks
Square Enix has been on a roll lately and dropped news about outfit packs and DLCs for Life is Strange Double Exposure. From cool new outfits to exclusive content, players will have plenty of ways to make their journey through Max’s world their own.
