Square Enix and Legendary Digital Studios have announced plans to create a new live-action digital series based on Dontnod's award-winning episodic adventure Life is Strange. The project is being developed in conjunction with DJ2 Entertainment, which recently completed production on the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog flick.
It's not known how closely the series will cleave to the game, although it sounds like it won't stray very far. Life Is Strange follows the story of photography enthusiast Max Caulfield, a high-school senior who discovers she can rewind time while saving her best friend Chloe Price, the announcement says. The pair soon find themselves investigating the mysterious disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber, which uncovers a dark side to life in Arcadia Bay.
Life is Strange is one of those rare properties that combines incredibly developed characters and storylines with deeply engaging gameplay. It lends itself perfectly to live-action imaginings, Legendary Digital Studios SVP Greg Siegel said.
We re proud and excited to be working alongside Legendary to realize a new version of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell Academy complete with our rich cast of realistic, believable characters and memorable events, Square Enix VP Jon Brooke added.
There's no word on casting the announcement is really just a this is happening kind of thing which makes this a perfect time to kick around ideas about who'd be best in various roles. And in case you'd forgotten, or just overlooked the matter for some reason, the first episode of Life is Strange is free, now and forever (or at least until somebody at Square Enix changes their mind) so there's no reason not to give it a look if you're curious what it's all about. We've got a few things to say about it ourselves, including a review, thoughts about its ending (spoilers!), and some ruminations on how Life is Strange channels Twin Peaks.
The fab time-travelling teen drama Life Is Strange [official site] is to become a live-action television series, Square Enix announced today. Or whatever it is we’re supposed to call television shows made for cybernet screens. A “digital series”, they say. Netflix or something, perhaps? We don’t know who what where when – or why, really – but we do know Squeenix have partnered with Legendary’s Digital Studios arm for it.
Time-altering teenage dramathon Life Is Strange [official site] has just made its first episode free to download forever and ever, while also making the whole story playable on Mac and Linux. For those of you who don’t remember, it is the story of photography student Max and her tough toque-wearing friend Chloe. It’s an adventure game by Dontnod (the studio that made sci-fi action adventure Remember Me) with hints of Heavy Rain and Telltale-style decision-making. Look, they’ve created a new trailer to show off bits of the whole saga. Be warned, though, there are some spoilerish things involved.
YAY!
YAY!
The full first episode of Life Is Strange [official site] will tomorrow be set free forever. We’ve written a lot about one of our favourite games of 2015, about individual episodes as they each came out and giving them the Fail Forward and Cogwatch treatments and… it’s weird to be thinking about Episode 1 again. Now knowing where Life Is Strange was going and what it would become, I want to add disclaimers like “Look, Episode 1 is awkward but it really does find itself, okay.” I’m weirdly protective.
The first episode of Dontnod s multi-award winning adventure game Life Is Strange will be available to download for free tomorrow, publisher Square Enix has announced.
From July 21 onwards, the episodic tale of love, friendship and coming of age is set to offer players a complimentary trip to Arcadia Bay where they ll join Chloe and Max in the game s premier episode Chrysalis. To mark the occasion, Dontnod has released the following trailer:
Although perhaps not for everyone, one of the most impressive things about Life Is Strange is its propensity to affect people in so many different ways. It was Chris s Personal Pick of last year; whereas Phil described it as unfocused but earnest , but nevertheless found it to be one of his favourite games of 2015. Jody MacGregor discussed why a bad ending needn t ruin a great game after finishing Chloe and Max s tale; and Andy shared his thoughts on how it channels Twin Peaks.
If you re yet to try it, you can begin to craft your own slant when Life Is Strange s episode one launches for free tomorrow via its official website.
