Deck Nine confirms: Life is Strange sequel won't canonise endings

Life is Strange: Double Exposure, releasing October 29 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, will honor player choices from the original Life is Strange by not declaring either ending canon. As revealed at the recent Xbox Games Showcase, this sequel continues the story of Max Caulfield, offering new powers and settings, with dialogue choices reflecting past decisions. Despite not directly importing saves, the game subtly acknowledges your previous choices through interactions and character relationships. The Ultimate Edition of Double Exposure includes early access and additional content, though it has faced criticism for its higher price.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure respects player choices from the original game by not declaring either ending canon. Instead, it incorporates past decisions through dialogue options and character interactions, allowing players to organically reflect their previous choices.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure continues the franchise nearly a decade after the first game's release. The series is known for its narrative-driven gameplay, centered around the life of Max Caulfield, a teenager with time-manipulating abilities. The game first captured audiences with its emotional depth and moral choices, where decisions significantly impacted the storyline. Double Exposure aims to stay true to this legacy, preserving the non-linear storytelling that made the original game a hit.
