Life Is Strange: Reunion Reunites Max and Chloe With Dual-Character Play

Early hands-on reports describe a direct follow-up to Double Exposure at Caledon University focused on averting a foretold campus fire.

Overview

  • Previews confirm Max Caulfield and Chloe Price are brought back together regardless of prior endings, with an in-universe explanation for Chloe’s state.
  • Demos retain Max’s time rewind and introduce swapping between protagonists, a Chloe backtalk challenge, and a system to pick lines for both characters in one argument.
  • The story continues immediately from Double Exposure, keeping Max in her teaching role and centering an effort to stop an impending blaze at the university.
  • Reporters note heavy continuity and visible asset reuse, with returning locations, characters, and design elements from the previous game.
  • Early impressions highlight promising mechanics but question some writing and the decision to lean into fan-pleasing reunions; the game is slated for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on March 26, 2026.
