Max’s Adventure in Life is Strange Continues
After almost a decade since the first chapter ofLife is Strange, Max Caulfield returns as she experiences all-new powers. Instead of rewinding time once again many years before, she instead travels to a parallel universe in an effort to save her closest new friend, Safi. She was found dead in the snow, and now Max must figure out who her killer is and how to stop them in both realities.

Max still pursues her career with the camera as she becomes a photographer-in-residence for Caledon University. It hasn’t been confirmed how many years it’s been since the events of the first game, and which ending is canon in this universe. We’ll likely get more details about that on July 13 as Square Enix will be hosting a video through theLife is Strange YouTube channelabout the game at 9am Pacific on that date. “Viewers can expect to learn a plethora of behind the scenes secrets about what went into creating this thrilling new adventure, as well as an exclusive look at gameplay,” said the press release.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure Special Editions Confirmed
It’s also been confirmed Life is Strange: Double Exposure will have three different editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate. The last option includes two weeks of early access for the game’s first two episodes. After that, the whole experience launches on October 29 like Life is Strange: True Colors. The Ultimate Edition may be too tempting for those who can’t wait to see Max return as the protagonist.
If you are new to the series, it sounds like you may step into it without playing the prior games (although I’d recommend at least checking out thefirst). “Life is Strange: Double Exposureis an all-new supernatural murder mystery that will excite both new and returning players,” said the press release. It’s also been confirmed that the PS4 and Xbox One will be left in the dust, despite the series starting on those systems.
If you want to experience or relive Life is Strange, there’s the Arcadia Bay collection, which includes the first game and its prequel in one package. However, ourreviewsaid “It’s easily the worst-possible way to experience two classic games and not in small ways.” Maybe just pick up the PC version?
