A new Life is Strange game will be announced next week

Today it was announced that a new Life is Strange game will be releasing in 2026 and we also got the announcement that a livestream event revealing the game will happen next week. 

The first Life is Strange game is one of my favorite games of all time. The story, the mystery, the characters, the vibes, all of it connected with me in ways videogame hadn't until that point. The series continued on after that and while I did enjoy somewhat games like Before the Store, 2 and True Colors, they didn't come close to living up to the greatness of the original. Then we got Double Exposure. 

Double Exposure was.... well it started off pretty strong but then went completely off the rails by the ending and was just laughable at the "Max Caufield will return" card at the end of the credits like its a Marvel movie. With the way that story went I think it's inevitable here that in this game we see the return on one Chloe Price, which a certain portion of the fanbase let Deck Nine and Square Enix know that they were none too pleased about how that character was handled in Double Exposure. Either way, we will find out next week. 

The official reveal will happen on January 20th at 1PM EST.
