Square Enix release Life is Strange: True Colors

Square Enix has released Life is Strange: True Colors which it marks as a “new era for the award-winning” Life is Strange series. 

Created by Deck Nine Games – developers of Life is Strange: Before the Storm, and Square Enix External Studios – True Colors sees players take on the role of Alex Chen, a young woman navigating early adulthood in Haven Springs, a small mountain town where she quickly becomes a part of a tight-knit community.

“This game was born out of a question that fascinated us during the development of Before the Storm—how can video games act as tools for exploring empathy?” states Jonathan Zimmerman, Narrative Director at Deck Nine Games.

“Today, this question grips us and beguiles us as much as ever. After 17 months, and counting, of global trauma, isolation, and loneliness, we are deeply humbled to be offering up a story about connection and hope against all odds.

“Much as Alex’s power allows her to feel the emotional truths of others, we hope players will feel the love we poured into the game as an expression of the immense gratitude that we share for each other, and our Life is Strange community.”

This supernatural mystery is brought to life using full performance capture and VO by Erika Mori as Alex Chen, an original soundtrack from Angus & Julia Stone, original tracks from mxmtoon and Novo Amor, and licenced tracks from Gabrielle Aplin, Phoebe Bridgers, Fenne Lily, and more.
