Apparently facial motion-capture was added to this release, but it’s not noticeable. Textures in the first game - which originally came out in 2015 with a simple but stylish aesthetic, all crisp lines and bold colours - can be muddy and glitchy, and characters move about like stiff marionettes, an impression only exaggerated by their skin tones appearing oddly wooden in select scenes. Its latest project and publishing debut, Gerda: A Flame in Winter, is set to release on September 1.Make no mistake about it: this two-game release, containing both the breakthrough first game and its prequel series Before the Storm (plus its bonus episode, ‘Farewell’), is exactly the kind of visual experience that has Switch naysayers smiling gleefully, ready to swing into the comments with lines about why you’d want to waste your time on such an inferior version. It’s unknown whether Dontnod will get to work on another Life is Strange game again. Dontnod handled the first Life is Strange, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, and Life is Strange 2.


The Life is Strange franchise has changed developer hands, with its latest entry, True Colors, being handled by Deck Nine. The other two Western IPs that it kept were Just Cause and Outriders. Life is Strange is one of the few properties that Square Enix elected to keep after the company sold its Western game development studios to Embracer Group earlier this year. #LifeIsStrange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm come to #Switch as the Arcadia Bay Collection, releasing September 27 in box and digital! Box pre-orders open from today at all good retailers, with digital pre-orders opening closer to launch /3ZQcj8glEB That version was delayed even further to an unspecified time until now. However, it was delayed to 2022 and finally released in February for all platforms except for Nintendo Switch. The Life is Strange Remastered Collection was initially planned to launch in September 2021 shortly after the release of Life is Strange: True Colors.
