Life is Strange: Double Exposure trailers
The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 revealed an Announcement Trailer for Life is Strange: Double Exposure. In the video, we see a more grown-up, Max Caulfield, as a photographer for Caledon University.
Compared to the original Life is Strange, Double Exposure ups the ante in terms of graphics. Max’s character design, especially, has much more detail, making her seem more lifelike.
In addition to the Announcement Trailer, a Life is Strange: Double Exposure special livestream is on its way. Look forward to the event on June 13 at 9 a.m. PT/5 p.m. BST/6 p.m. CET.
Is Life is Strange: Double Exposure a sequel?
Given that the game is a continuation of Max’s story, it is assumed that Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a sequel. However, the Deck Nine Games site states that it is a “standalone experience.” That means you don’t need any knowledge of the original, and they may offer a potential recap of the events that transpired before.
Even though it’s a standalone game, it’ll likely feature plenty of callbacks to Life is Strange. We already got some hints of this in the trailer when Max mentions that she made a promise never to use her powers again. This, of course, refers back to the original when she harnessed her ability to time shift.
Is Chloe in Life is Strange: Double Exposure?
Many LiS fans have wondered about Chloe Price’s whereabouts, as she is not mentioned in the trailer. As of right now, it isn’t clear if Chloe will reappear in Life is Strange: Double Exposure. We can hope that she will make her return to the game or get some clarification about her current standings.
While we don’t know about Chloe’s fate in Double Exposure, she was at least mentioned in LiS 2 and True Colors’ Wavelengths. The same thing could be done for her again in this new entry, but we’ll need to wait and see.
