Life is Strange: Double Exposure Reportedly Resulted in ‘Large Losses’ for Square Enix

According to reports, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, developer Deck Nine’s latest foray into the supernatural series started by Don’t Nod, resulted in “large losses” for publisher Square Enix.

While Square Enix has yet to offer an official public comment on the matter (and the company has yet to share sales figures), Kabutan analyst Hideki Yasuda claims that the new Life is Strange has failed to live up to commercial expectations (as per ResetEra/TheGamer via Eurogamer), and the series’ future could be uncertain.

At the very end of Double Exposure, the credits tease that Max Caulfield will “return”, but with layoffs at Deck Nine, and the new game’s underperformance, that doesn’t appear to be a foregone conclusion. According to Square Enix’s latest financial results, the success of Dragon Quest III HD Remake helped to offset its losses.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
