A new Life Is Strange game is in development at original developer DONTNOD, but it looks like a third game is on the way. While the series creators ruled out an appearance at E3 2017 recently, a bunch of screenshots have just leaked regarding a new title in development at Deck Nine – the new name for the studio formerly known as Idol Minds. You may remember the team being behind PlayStation 3 titles like Pain, as well as the cancelled Vita dungeon crawler Warrior’s Lair.
The leaked images appear to be teasing a prequel which will explore the relationship between Chloe Price and Rachel Amber. In one shot, we see the BFFs riding a train, while a new piece of artwork shows the transition of Chloe’s character from sweet and innocent teen to rebellious rocker. It all looks legitimate to us.

Adding more fuel to the fire is that Deck Nine has been busy working on a toolset called ‘StoryForge’, which it claims will “provide unparalleled freedom” for its writers, artists, and directors to tell stories. Sounds a bit like the Telltale Tool, doesn’t it? The studio already said that it will announce its new game – a collaboration with a “leading AAA video game publisher” in a “critically acclaimed franchise” – at E3 2017.
Looks like you’re getting more Life Is Strange sooner than you thought.

WTF?!
Hmm I don't like prequels as a rule because it is hard to think of a good one because everyone has to be in a certain place by the end. Not sure this will work, you know the mystery at the end of LIS and the baddie.
Prequel? lol Maybe a flashback but please...the time travel stuff was what made the game interesting...don't do a prequel please!
@Rudy_Manchego Yakuza 0 only one <3
Although Chloe was a decent enough character, I don't reckon it would be as appealing without the time manipulation mechanic.
I'd really love another Remember Me game from DONTNOD. The memory remix was similar to LIS's butterfly effect thing.
I'm super interested in this! The relationship between those two characters - along with the general cozy vibes of the setting - was what I loved most about Life is Strange, so getting to revisit it is awesome news for me
I quite like a good prequel and we already know that Chloe is a strong character so it's a good basis to work from.
That makes sense since we didn't know much about RA. It will sell good $ move
Probably my game of the year that year, and certainly the one that stood out most and stays with me even now.
So many games are forgotten once the credits roll, but LiS is one of the few I wish I could wipe from my memory and do it all again.
Sign me up for more of whatever they want to do next, especially if they nail the soundtrack in the same way!
@AFCC oh I only meant games, films, books and any other media form that I have seen or played
@Rudy_Manchego oh, sorry xD ok then
Are these games any good?
@Rudy_Manchego Alien covenant is good.
I don't know what to think of this news. I thought the back stories were fleshed out enough tbh.
@bbtothe you can find out on Tuesday, it's free on psplus.
@themcnoisy Hmmm debatable!! I would rather not know where the aliens come from tbh.
Sorry, thread hijack!
Don't like life is strange anyway.
So the hype is not to be found with me.
Great ! more games i can pass on ^^
@themcnoisy
Alien : Covenant is good I suppose if I completely ignored the mythology of the films we already loved, and pretend Alien wasn't the same film, but superior, with better horror pacing, with CGI worse than the 1979 costumes, and wasn't yet another film Ridley Scott is making to promote a seeming mid life Christianity conversion.
On a serious note, It was beautifully shot though, and I agree wasn't rubbish.
Eeeeeeeee!!!!!!! A prequel (which sounds awesome) AAANNNDDD a sequel!!!!! Omg!
@RPE83 I saw it as a much needed refocus of the alien brand. Ridley taking back his Alien using androids as the vehicle. The films great, the new aliens too. Can't wait for the next one!
