Life is Strange Remastered Collection delayed to 2022

Square Enix is taking extra time to develop the Life is Strange Remastered Collection.

August 11, 2021 10:50 AM

The Life is Strange series is set to release its latest installment with True Colors this September. This launch was supposed to be followed by the Life is Strange Remastered Collection, bundling the previous entries in the series with some graphical upgrades. However, that second release will have to wait a bit longer. Square Enix has delayed the launch of Life is Strange Remastered Collection to 2022.

The developers announced the delay in a brief message shared on social media. “Due to the ongoing challenges of the worldwide pandemic, we want to alleviate any additional pressure on th eLife is Strange team by giving more time between the release of Life is Strange: True Colors and the Life is Strange Remastered Collection,” the statement reads. The pandemic has undoubtedly complicated things for everyone across the video game industry, and the team behind Life is Strange is no exception.

Interestingly enough, they also do take this statement to announce that the Life is Strange: Wavelengths DLC, which stars Steph Gingrich, will launch on September 30, 2021. Dontnod Entertainment also reassures that Life is Strange: True Colors is not being delayed and is on track to hit its September 10 release date.

Life is Strange Remastered Collection was first revealed back at a Square Enix presentation earlier this year. The game bundles together the Arcadia Bay Saga (Life is Strange 1 and 2) and gives them both graphical and technical upgrades. Originally slated to launch this fall, Life is Strange Remastered Collection will now launch in the early 2022 window. Stick with Shacknews for the latest happenings in the Life is Strange series.

    I liked 1 a lot, but I had a lot more game time then. I haven't played BtS or 2 yet. Any good?

        To be fair, BTS is fun at times, it just doesn't get good until the second half

        Yeah, it definitely takes time to try to get where the story implications are going (the whole church thing I think is where it is cemented). Also since you play as the protagonist without any powers, it feels less interactive than the first one had.
        LS: True Colors definitely gets back to that flavor of gameplay

      2 is as good as 1 and underrated imo. BtS is a couple notches below but still solid in its own right.

      BtS is great especially if you were a fan of the first game. I never got around to completing 2, just wasn't as compelling for me :(

      LiS2 is excellent kallanta. BtS is good but is a drama and not horror.

    Also on the LIS True Colors train, new DLC "Wavelengths" announced to release 3 weeks after the main game. Will be a prequel of sorts to the main content
