During today’s Xbox Showcase event, publisher Square Enix and developer Deck Nine Games announced a new entry in the Life is Strange series – Life is Strange: Double Exposure.
According to Square Enix, Double Exposure is an all-new supernatural murder mystery that will appeal to both new and players familiar with the franchise. The game tells the story of Max Caulfield – photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University. She “discovers her closest new friend, Safi, dead in the snow. Murdered. To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not used in years… instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive, and still in danger! Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality.
Only Max can Shift between the two parallel timelines to solve and prevent the same murder.”
Check out the announcement trailer below:
More details about the title will be revealed during a live stream on July 13 at 9 am PDT/5 pm BST/6 pm CET on the Life is Strange YouTube channel.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is slated for a release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S later this year on October 29. The game is also slated for a Switch release – more details are to be announced. More information about the title can be found on the official Life is Strange website.
The most recent main entry in the Life is Strange series is 2021’s True Colors – here’s what we wrote about the game in our launch review back then. “Life is Strange: True Colors is another success for Deck Nine, highlighting how well they understand the source material and its connection with the audience. The new characters, location, and power are an instant classic of the series and we can only hope they continue to develop this world alongside DONTNOD.”
