Life is Strange: True Colors is a gorgeous new chapter which ditches the series' episodic model
Square Enix has announced Life is Strange: True Colors, the next chapter in the narrative adventure anthology series. Ditching the series’ previous episodic model, the entire story will release in one go for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia on 10th September.
Set in the town of Haven Springs, True Colors stars Alex Chen, a new female Asian American protagonist, and feature a popular crossover character from Life is Strange prequel series Before the Storm. Here’s our first look:
True Colors is, as expected, developed by Before the Storm studio Deck Nine, with the prequel series’ lead writer and game designer Zak Garriss now True Colors’ director. During tonight’s Square Enix Presents livestream, Garriss said Deck Nine had been working on the game since 2017.
The story begins as Alex arrives in town to reunite with her brother after eight years apart. But after tragedy strikes, Alex will find she – like other Life is Strange protagonists before her – has a special power of her own.
