Life is Strange Series Nears End

According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has been a financial disappointment for the company. This was directly addressed by Square Enix's president during a recent briefing where he discussed the company's performance. The financial losses incurred from Double Exposure were mitigated to some extent by cost-cutting measures in development and the successful launch of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, Square Enix has kept the specific sales numbers for Life is Strange: Double Exposure under wraps, which only underscores its poor market reception.

The disappointing sales did not come as a shock to many, especially given the lukewarm response from the franchise's dedicated fanbase following the game's announcement. Despite high hopes that Double Exposure would resonate with fans, the reality was far from expectations. The game concluded with a message in the end credits promising that "Max Caulfield will return", yet the likelihood of continuing her story now appears doubtful.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to elaborate further on the situation. The only information released was that the game's performance was described as a "significant loss", a label previously attached to other underperforming titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and certain entries in the Tomb Raider series. This characterization casts a shadow over the future prospects of the Life is Strange franchise.
