Life Is Strange: True Colors
Missing u already
FORMAT PS5, PS4 / ETA 10 SEP / PUB SQUARE ENIX / DEV DECK NINE / PLAYERS 1
Being a teenager can be an emotional ride at the best of times. New Life Is Strange protagonist Alex Chen is an empath, meaning she’s not just wrestling with her own complex feelings but also with the emotions of anyone quietly simmering within touching distance. That can easily skew conversation towards confrontation in this continuation of the incredibly popular superpowered teen drama series.
After years spent separated from her brother Gabe within the foster system, Alex hopes she’s finally found a home for both of them in Haven Springs. Unfortunately, the siblings’ fresh start is cut short when Gabe is found dead. The community leaders are eager to move on from what they’re calling ‘a tragic accident’ but Alex knows there’s more to this story.
TWO HEARTS
As she searches for the truth, she meets more than her fair share of resistance and danger. Thankfully, she’s not alone. True Colors features two romantic leads. First, there’s Gabe’s bestie, Ryan Lucan. Then, returning from 2017 spin-off game Life Is Strange: Before The Storm, there’s everyone’s favourite tabletop roleplaying game girlfriend Steph Gingrich.
Unlike all the Life Is Stranges before it, True Colors will not be released in episodes. There are chapter breaks for when you need a breather from the twisty plot, but the complete package will be available from day one in September. Exploration will be more open than in earlier entries too. You can roam the streets freely, nipping into stores and the various hidden nooks of Haven Springs as you please. We’ll meet the welcoming committee later this year.
