Announced as part of the inaugural Square Enix Presents livestream, Life Is Strange: True Colors will be coming to both PlayStation 5 and PS4 on 10th September 2021. Development is being led by Deck Nine Games, who previously worked on Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. This news all but confirms a previous report that DONTNOD Entertainment has moved on from the franchise. Check out the reveal trailer above, which gives us a glimpse of the new protagonist. One other important piece of information is that True Colors won't be episodic — it's simply one big game this time around.

Her name is Alex and she can feel the emotions of other people, even going as far as changing them altogether. The crux of the story is that Alex's brother died in a "so-called accident", but she wants to use her power to find out the truth. You'll be able to freely explore the new location of Haven Springs — walk its streets, enter the shops there, and uncover its secrets. You'll even be able to develop friendships with townsfolk and potentially find love with either Ryan or Steph.
Purchasing Life Is Strange: True Colors on the PlayStation Store entitles you to both the PS5 and PS4 version, with the bundle being a full-priced release of £49.99/$59.99. A more-expensive Ultimate Edition will even bundle together Life Is Strange Remastered and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered. Pre-ordering the game will grant you access to four additional outfits for Alex, of which there are 24 in the base game. The soundtrack always plays an important part in a Life Is Strange title, and this latest entry will feature Radiohead, Phoebe Bridgers, Gabrielle Aplin, and all-new tracks from mxmtoon and Novo Amor.

It looks so good! 😍
I like that it's directly the full game, I never liked the episodic approach, I always waited till every episode is out cause I want to play a game in one go and don't have to wait a few months between each episode
Since Steph from the first game is in this one there is going to be a connection to this one.
Non episodic is huge news! I completely let LIS 2 pass me by after the first game was one of my favorite games this gen. I just feel like that formula is dead. So glad it will be all released at once
Ok, I liked the trailer, looks pretty nice and Deck Nine did an awesome job with Before the Storm, so I'm convinced.
Also the fact that it's not episodical and we get the remastered versions of LiS and BtS makes it a sure buy for me.
Lets just hope it's better than LiS2 and the one with the trans-dude that I forgot the name.
Max Caulfield well had the best power.
I’ll stick with my fond memories of Life is Strange 1, thank you very much
I'm interested but I'll wait for the reviews before purchasing
I'll admit, it looks better than I expected. I really like the forest ambiance it's going for.
@Everglow I thought exactly the same thing 🤣
Worst. Superpower. Ever.
Can't wait!
-Sees the price....
I can wait.
£49.99??? Think I will wait for reviews and possibly a sale... pretty steep considering the original and before the storm was only about £34.99 or £39.99 max!!
It looks nice but I also really hated Before the Storm so I'll wait for a sale before I play this.
Looks great!! Very excited! Though I WAS pretty excited to possibly be playing a one armed black girl😕 reminded me of a comic series I like, ahh well. I've really enjoyed all LIS games (before the storm the most) so I doubt this will be different. Incredible its just a one and done full game!
Find the freedom to walk around most interesting - we’re going to get the weird weather from first game I feel in the background. Don’t think there will be much, if any, direct relation to previous games, just these characters reaction to environmental moments of the past or possibly character deaths.
Really interesting trailer. Being an empath should be quite fun.
I don't really get what this game is honestly, never played the previous ones. It's like a visual novel, click-and-point adventure type of thing?
It looks so amazing guys! I even have to admit that I'm more excited for this one than I was for the second one.
Bring it on Deck Nine, day one purchase for sure ^^
@XinGViruS It's more like a story adventure type of game. You can move and control the character but without platforming. It's basically a Square Enix version of a Quantic Dream game.
Check out Detroit Become Human, Beyond Two Souls and you'll see what I'm talking about
YAAAAAY. Very excited. I love Life is Strange and Deck Nine did a brilliant job on before the storm.
Cant help but feel like they revealed way too much in the trailer. I would have much preferred the emotional punch of the death to be a surprise in the game.
Love that all episodes will be part of the package at launch too. Do we know if there is a physical edition? That would seal a day 1 purchase for me
Looks a little like Fin from Miles Morales
Looking forward to this as I've loved all the LIS games and I know I'll love this too.Non episodic is a surprise though.Probably a Day One for me.
After LiS 2, I'm excited but cautious. I hope there's a physical edition, especially one with the Remastered games.
Could be excellent, I liked the first one but not so much the second. Was her name Chloe in the second trailer she was a bit of a numpty but I really liked Max in the first one, and her powers were way better
@Mince Life is Strange 1, 2, and 3 are complete stories. Before the Storm is a prequel to Life is Strange 1.
@mariomaster96 at least this time we won't have to wait for all the episodes to be released, it can all be played all at once, nice!
@Icey664 they could have been more creative, i agree!
Great news! I'm sad we're not getting a continuation of Max and Chloe, but at least we have the Titan comic/graphic novel sequel series.
New protagonist and story sounds interesting, looking forward to hearing more about the game over time.
