Rumors: the development of the Life is Strange series will be taken up by the developers of Before the Storm
Insider Emily Rogers, who usually sheds light on Nintendo’s activities, shared information on the future of Life is Strange on her microblog.
Rogers’ revelations about Life is Strange was inspired by the recent news that Chinese giant Tencent has invested about $ 36.3 million in Dontnod Entertainment, the development studio for Life is Strange and Life is Strange 2.
According to Rogers, the deal has little to do with Life is Strange: Square Enix and Dontnod Entertainment allegedly “parted ways long ago,” and the franchise was handed over to the creators of Life is Strange: Before the Storm from Deck Nine Games.
The insider also said that 2021 will be eventful for the series: “This year should be a good one for all Life is Strange fans. Regardless of the consoles or platforms, you own. “
Recall that the upcoming announcements on Life are Strange were recently mentioned by an insider Navara. According to him, in February Square Enix is going to present a full third part of the franchise.
As for Deck Nine Games, back in September 2018, the American studio confirmed work on the next joint project with Square Enix. Since then, however, nothing has been heard about the game.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm aired episodes between August and December 2017 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In September 2018, through the efforts of the same Deck Nine Games, a mobile version for iOS and Android was released.
