Square Enix hasn’t announced the game yet, but it has already received an age rating in Europe, so it’s clear that something is in the works.

Let’s take a look at what was written on the PEGI website (which has since been removed). The game received a PEGI 16 rating due to the use of strong language, illegal drug use, and strong violence. It is not suitable for persons under 16 years of age. Chloe Price was Max Caulfield’s partner in time. Losing her is Max’s greatest regret. Now, Chloe has come to Caledon University. Haunted by nightmares and impossible memories, she needs Max’s help. However, Max is already in crisis; in three days, a deadly inferno will destroy the campus.

This game features depictions of illegal drug use. During a party scene, the player is offered wine and can choose to take a sip. The player realizes that the drink has been spiked and begins to experience hallucinations. The images on the screen become distorted, and a scene plays out in which the character sees strange images. Another character tells her that she is “tripping balls”. It is then explained that she is high on mushrooms. The game also depicts strong, realistic violence. The opening scene recaps previous games in the series, including a scene in which a girl is shot in the torso. She is then seen lying on the ground with blood seeping through her shirt. Much of the violence in the game is implied. For example, a building is set on fire, and people can be heard screaming for help inside. The game also contains strong language, including the word “f*ck”. Milder profanity is also present, including “*sshole”, “p*ss”, and “sh*t”.

This game offers players the opportunity to purchase in-game items, such as new outfits and a digital deluxe upgrade. Parents and caregivers may want to be aware of this. Parents, caregivers, and other responsible adults should check what is being offered before making any purchases on behalf of a child. Please note that the game can be played without purchasing these items. The game contains images that may scare younger players, including scenes of dead bodies with no blood or injury detail and human skeletons. The game contains some sexual innuendo. For example, when the player goes to a party, another character says that someone didn’t show up because their “girlfriend thought this was an orgy”. The game frequently references suicide, but no depictions are shown.

The latest installment of Life is Strange is Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was released on October 29, 2024, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC and on November 19 for the Nintendo Switch. Life is Strange: Reunion is likely to arrive this fall.
