The Life is Strange: Reunion release date is confirmed, but what else do we know about the sequel?
Square Enix has finally announced that Life is Strange: Reunion is set to be released on March 26.
The news comes nearly two weeks after Europe’s video game age rating system, PEGI, mistakenly leaked that the storied series was getting another instalment.
What do we know about the Life is Strange: Reunion plot?
The storyline has been confirmed to be exactly what we inferred in the PEGI leak.
The game’s release states:
“Chloe Price was Max Caulfield’s partner in time… Losing her is Max’s greatest regret.
Now Chloe has come to Caledon University. Haunted by nightmares and impossible memories, Chloe needs Max’s help.
But Max is already in crisis: in three days, a deadly inferno will destroy the campus. Max’s Rewind power has bought her time, but she can’t prevent the blaze alone.
The fire will force Max and Chloe to make devastating decisions. Can they find a future together… Before everything burns?”
All the signs point towards that, for the first time in the series, both of the protagonists are playable characters. Square Enix also confirmed that the title is the finale to the Max and Chloe saga, so this makes sense.
What platforms is Life is Strange: Reunion available on?
The game is available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, so you have your pick of the bunch as to which platform you want to play it on.
Other Life is Strange titles have also made it onto Game Pass so keep that in mind if you don’t want to play on launch, and would rather save a few bucks by getting it via the service you might already be paying for.
