10 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC. Life Is Strange: True Colors will arrive in both physical and digital formats in three editions (Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate), and it’s set to release on Sept. And as she begins exploring the people and places of Haven Springs to revisit the mystery of her brother’s “accidental” death, Alex will need all the insight she can muster to “uncover the dark secrets” that have been “buried” in her new hometown. Her Empathy powers allow Alex to “experience, absorb and manipulate the strong emotions of others,” according to Square Enix. In True Colors, the hero is new character Alex Chen and the supernatural power is Empathy - Alex’s psychic ability to “see” the colorful emotional auras of everyone around her and learn their hidden motivations.Īs a new resident of the tiny, seemingly-idyllic village of Haven Springs, Alex must finally come to terms with turning her supernatural “curse” into a force for good.

Of course it wouldn’t be a Life Is Strange game without a supernatural link to our reality-grounded hero. In conjunction with developer Deck Nine Games, the publisher unveiled an upcoming standalone title that, for the first time, will set aside the franchise’s episode-based format to tell a complete Life Is Strange story all in one single game.Ĭheck out the new trailer for Life Is Strange: True Colors, heading to multiple gaming platforms this fall: Watch for Forspoken to arrive sometime in 2022.Īt the polar end of the magic and fantasy RPG worlds Square Enix is known for, the Life Is Strange series has served up poignant, narrative-based game stories with a firmer grounding in the present-day world. The studio is teasing Forspoken as a true next-gen game “designed for the PlayStation 5” and PC. Rogue One scribe Gary Whitta is leading the game's writing team, and development comes from Square Enix’s newly-hatched Luminous Productions - the in-house development team that emerged from Final Fantasy XV's long development churn. Whatever powers she might (or might not) possess back in this world, Frey makes the most of her plain white sneakers on Athia as she warps across abandoned ruins and snowy mountains to take on wild bears, dodge dragons, and go toe to toe with fire-spewing monsters. Frey arrives in Athia’s “fantastical and dangerous” setting as “an ordinary young woman who must harness her magical abilities to survive,” Square Enix teased in the reveal’s accompanying release. As the trailer reveals, the female protagonist at the heart of Forspoken’s action is Frey Holland, a fish-out-of-water character voiced by Charlie’s Angels star Ella Balinska.
