Life is Strange enthusiasts can look forward to a new installment in Max Caulfield’s story, with the upcoming release of Life is Strange: Reunion scheduled for March 26, 2026. Square Enix revealed the launch date, hinting at a narrative where Max reunites with Chloe Price for what seems to be their final escapade together.
The inclusion of Chloe might surprise fans, especially considering the diverging outcomes based on choices made in the first game. However, given the time-jumping themes explored in the recent Life is Strange Double Exposure, Chloe’s return likely holds deeper significance.
The plot of Life is Strange: Reunion revolves around Chloe seeking Max’s assistance at Caledon University, plagued by haunting memories and nightmares. Max, already facing a campus inferno threat, must grapple with time-altering powers to avert disaster alongside Chloe.
Despite a lukewarm reception for Life is Strange Double Exposure in 2024, with mixed reviews on Steam, Square Enix remains optimistic about a third installment. Deck Nine Games, known for True Colours, leads this new chapter, distinct from the original Life is Strange developed by Don’t Nod.
While recent titles faced criticism, a TV series based on the franchise has been greenlit by Amazon. The focus of the series, whether on Max Caulfield’s story or a fresh direction, remains undisclosed.
Life is Strange: Reunion is slated for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on March 26, 2026, maintaining its episodic format with all episodes available simultaneously.
