14 DAY TRIAL // True Colors is the new installment in the Life is Strange saga, Square Enix announced earlier today. The game is slated for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC (via Steam), and Google Stadia on September 10, 2021.
Developed by studio Deck Nine Games, Life is Strange: True Colors has been in development since 2017. The game focuses on the people living in Haven Springs, as players step into the shoes of Alex Chen, a girl who has long suppressed her “curse:” the psychic power of Empathy, a supernatural ability that allows her to experience, absorb and manipulate the strong emotions of others.
Alex is trying to uncover the dark secrets she believes are surrounding the tragic death of her brother. The game will feature licensed songs from Radiohead, Phoebe Bridgers, Gabrielle Aplin, and many more.
“It has been such an honor to return to the vibrant, emotive, and impactful world of Life is Strange. We are delighted to share this new story with you: a story of empathy, human connection, and the struggle to find a place to call home. All of the advancements in storytelling, development technology, and premium voice acting that we have made since Life is Strange: Before the Storm will allow players to be more immersed in the compelling world of Life is Strange: True Colors than ever before,” said Jeff Litchford, Vice President at Deck Nine Games.
Along with True Colors, Square Enix announced the upcoming availability of the Life is Strange Remastered Collection, which contains remastered editions of Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, featuring improved visuals and animations.
More importantly, the collection will be available as part of the Ultimate Edition of Life is Strange: True Colors and as a standalone edition later this year. Players who pre-order Life is Strange: True Colors now will receive 4 additional in-game outfits for Alex.
