Square Enix has continued its partnership with French-based developer DONTNOD Entertainment by announcing a brand-new, episodic adventure named ‘Life is Strange’.
Developed by the intrepid minds behind last year’s futuristic action-adventure offering, Remember Me, Life is Strange is an entirely new IP with a host of distinct twists that deviate from the conventional gaming narrative we’ve grown accustomed to.
‘’What if this title was wholly different to anything we have ever attempted before, both in gameplay and narrative? What if this title was released digitally as regular episodic content, with each new chapter building and evolving based on the choices you made in previous episodes? What if we now gave all of this a name: Life is Strange?’’, explains Square Enix’s Toby Palm on the publisher’s official blog.
He continues: ‘’Each and every texture in Life is Strange is a hand drawn work of art and every action enacts a butterfly effect – but with the power to rewind time, what would you change? And would it turn out to be a change for the better or worse?’’.
DONTNOD Entertainment’s Life is Strange is scheduled to appear on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC at an as-of-yet undetermined time. It’s also set to be playable for gaming journalists at this week’s event so a release may be sooner than you might think.
As ever we’ll keep you updated with all the news regarding the game at this year’s Gamescom.
