The next entry in the Life Is Strange series will be revealed during a new Nintendo Direct-style online presentation from Square Enix on 18th March 2021. The game will feature an entirely new cast, a new power, and a new story (that last one is sort of obvious). That's not all, however, as the new title will form only a part of the publisher's new online event, dubbed Square Enix Presents. The showcase will last roughly 40 minutes and play host to many more reveals.
Other games that will feature include Outriders, Marvel's Avengers, Balan Wonderworld, a mobile version of Just Cause, and new games from Square Enix Montreal. There will also be something for Tomb Raider's 25th anniversary. The event will start on 18th March 2021 at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT, with more instalments planned throughout the year.
The presentation will be streamed live on the publisher's YouTube and Twitch channels, but you'll also be able to catch all the news right here on Push Square. What do you hope this new Life Is Strange game looks like and entails? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Why bother with Marvel's Avengers when the PS5 version is going to be released on the same day?
Sweet, i wonder how they are gonna handle Life Is Strange in todays world...I look forward to it.
Balan wonderworld looks awful! I hope they announce a delay
That is quite possibly the least interesting line-up for a digital event I have ever seen.
And if it's Deck Nine doing the new Life is Strange, that's a major turn-off for me.
Why are they even calling it Life is Strange? It's not going to have anything to do with the original.
Really didn't understand the hate that Life is Strange 2 received, I played through it a month ago and thought it was pretty good, not as good as the first Life is Strange, but good nonetheless. So I'm very open to a new Life is Strange game.
@NinjaWaddleDee - Because it takes place in the same world as the previous games...
@Brydontk maybe spider-man reveal?
I just want more Chloe and Max. ;'(
I should probably play LiS2 finally. Juat haven't had the itch for a narrative game recently.
I hope the TR25th is more than just an announcement of the Survivor Trilogy that was leaked.
Is Square Enix Montreal a new studio or did the rebrand Eidos Montreal?
@Loftimus Huh, fair point. That'd be cool. And come to think of it, heard rumors that their recent behavior with Avengers is weird because it seems like they're setting it up to be F2P
Will they get the Captain Spirit demo to work on PS5?
EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! OMGIMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!
That balan wonderworld demo was an absolute joke. They need to bin it and start again and maybe change the title while they're at it.
Excited. More life is strange is always good. Hopefuly the montreal game is Deus Ex. Come on guys, you know you want to! Interested in the tomb raider announcement, but pretty sure that they previously suggested we wern't getting a new game this year. Its probably just coverage of the reboot trilogy on PS5 and Xbox. Bringing anniversary to modern consoles would be nice though!
@Brydontk that would do me as i'm not buying it lol.
Some DLC answering what happened with Max and Chloe isn't too much to ask. Because it's a cliff hanger ending and fans want to know.
Balan really was a letdown thank god for the demo to let me know that it sucks and hopefully they stop with the episodic release of life is strange
@JustPlainLoco I can only speak for myself, but I was very emotionally invested in Max and Chloe's story. I assumed that the same emotional connection would be present with the boys in Life Is Strange 2 via the power of Dontnod's writing but that never happened. I never bonded with the boys. By the end of the first episode of LiS 1, I was hooked. By the end of the first episode of LiS 2, I didn't care. I had no desire to keep playing.
@NemesisSam30 There's a comic book series from Titan Comics that expands upon what happens next, sort of. The book acknowledges that the story is one of many possible timelines that could occur. There's a lot of jumping back and forth between timelines and new characters with similar abilities. I really enjoy it.
@StrawberryPink they need to finish it off in a game though. Not everyone reads comics.
So is Babylon's Fall officially vaporware?
Intrigued to see a new Life Is Strange, I wonder where they'll go with it.
As much as I'd love to see Chloe & Max again, some things are best left unanswered, or to our imaginations.
I didant even realize they were making a third Life Is Strange..now I'm really excited!
Balan Wonderworld demo was the most disappointing demo I've ever played.Absolute pants.
The only good thing about it was saving me money.
@RudeAnimat0r SE Montreal are the devs who make the "Go" games for mobile, such as Hitman Go, etc.
I'm looking forward to news updates on all of the games being included, except for Just Cause Mobile.
