Life is Strange is one of the most iconic and well-received storytelling game series of our time. The series of episodic graphic adventures are published by Square Enix. The very first instalment was developed by Dontnod entertainment and released in five serialised episodes in 2015. Since the release of the prequel Before the Storm, Deck Nine have taken over development.

Life is Strange has received acclaim for its well-developed characters, handling of difficult themes, and narrative – though like most player-choice-influenced stories it has its plot holes and issues. The game has also been lauded for its LGBT representation, drawing many fans from the community (including myself).

The Life is Strange Remaster containing Square Enix’s enhanced rerelease of the first Life is Strange, as well as its prequel Before the Storm (along with all its bonus content from the Deluxe edition), has been set to release in February 2022 following delays.

The Remaster was due to arrive at the end of this months, to coincide with the release of the newest series entry, Life is Strange: True Colors.

Square Enix made the decision back in August to delay release, due to the complications posed by the pandemic.

At the time, we were given a vague release period of ‘early 2022’, but Square Enix has since officially confirmed the date of February 1st for Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Stadia.

The upcoming Remaster promises a variety of enhancements for Life is Strange and Before the Storm, including engine and lighting upgrades along with visual remasters for characters and environments.

Life is Strange will get fully motion captured facial animations, so we can expect to see the game in all-new lifelikeness. I’m certainly excited to re-experience the original Life is Strange game with all its new enhancements in the remaster!

The Life Is Strange: True Colors Lo-fi Playlist Might Be one of The Most Wholesome Marketing Strategies Ever

Square Enix released Life is Strange: True Colors just before the last weekend on the 10th September 2021. Even though the ‘Life is Strange’ series already have a large fanbase, that doesn’t mean they can’t try to broaden their audience while also giving something nice back to their fans. Square Enix collaborated with different Lo-fi music artists and put a playlist together. If this isn’t the most wholesome marketing strategy ever seen, I don’t know what is. Before we get into it though…

What is Life Is Strange: True Colors Anyway?

Life is Strange: True Colors is a narrative, ‘supernatural’ adventure video game developed by Square Enix and takes place before the ENDING of Life Is Strange 2, but after the events of all the Life Is Strange games. The story follows Alex Chen who has a strange empathic power, where she can feel and absorb other people’s emotions. However, she goes on with most of her life hiding it. After her brother dies, she feels as though it was not just an ‘accident’ and ventures off, using her power to uncover the truth. Life Is Strange: True Colors has been released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

There will also be an additional ‘Steph’s DLC’ called Wavelengths available for Xbox, PlayStation and PC on the 30th September 2021.

They knew what they were doing when it came down to sharing the Lo-Fi Playlist in the description box, while that may seem like common sense, you’d be surprised at how many channels don’t do this at all, or even show the track on screen for a couple seconds and it is quite annoying. I sometimes find myself using Shazam to figure it out only for the app to tell me “No Result. Sorry, we didn’t quite catch that. TRY AGAIN.” Listing the tracks in the description may be simple and something small, but it’s a gesture I greatly appreciate.

Here’s the list of songs from the LofiMusic featured:

1. Novo Amor – “Haven (from Life is Strange)” (Lo-fi Mix)
2. Driftwood Drive – “Follow the Low Tide” (Lo-fi Mix)
3. mxmtoon – “In the Darkness” (Lo-fi Mix)
4. Angus & Julia Stone – “Let Me Know” (Lo-fi Mix)
5. Angus & Julia Stone – “Heavy Gets Light (Lo-fi Mix) Mixes by FFM.

I am listening to the playlist as a type, not only is it relaxing, but considering the theme around empaths, it’s interesting to sit and listen to the music while trying to feel your way through each soundtrack. The video has gained over 23 thousand views and without a doubt has attracted many newcomers and fans to Life Is Strange as well.

The survival horror game’s remastered collection is having to be pushed back, but we do get some compromises!

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection was scheduled to be released on September 30, shortly after the release of Life is Strange: True Colors, which is still on schedule to be released on September 10.

Now, Life is Strange: Remastered Collection has been pushed back until next year and an extra DLC for True Colors will take its place.

Remastered Collection and Wavelengths DLC

Life Is Strange is a series of primarily episodic graphic adventure games published by Square Enix, with the first game developed by Dontnod Entertainment and told the story of Max Caulfield, an 18-year-old student who realises she can reverse time when she witnesses her friend Chloe being shot.

The team behind Life is Strange’s development released an update on Twitter of the progress for their current projects. In it, stated that due to the ongoing challenges of the global pandemic, the team want to alleviate any pressure placed on the Remastered Collection and separate the release between their upcoming release Life is Strange: True Colors. 

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection now has an expected release date of early 2022, however, if you buy True Colors, you will still have access to the Remastered Collection when it arrives.

The game is being developed by Deck Nine and it promises to improve the visual detail of characters and environments by using full facial motion capture performances as well as updates to the game’s engine and lighting.

However, the development team also announced fans can expect a DLC to be released on the date they would have received the Remastered Collection.

The Life is Strange: True Colors Ultimate Edition still grants entitlement to the two Life is Strange Remastered Collection games, which will now be available on their new release date in early 2022.

Life is Strange: Wavelengths DLC will be a bonus episode to the upcoming True Colors game starring Steph Gingrich, who was previously featured in the prequel game Life is Strange: Before the Storm, and will focus on Steph’s arrival to Haven Springs, a year before True Colors is set.

Life is Strange: True Colors and Remastered Collection will be available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia, and Switch.
