by

Deck Nine, the developer of the Life Is Strange series, has announced that the next installment will be shown off on January 20, 2026. They’ll be revealing the new Life Is Strange game through a live stream on their official YouTube channel.

The next Life Is Strange game will be the seventh installment in the series and the fourth developed by Deck Nine, not counting the Life Is Strange Remastered Collection. The previous game came out in 2024 and received mixed reactions from fans and critics. Currently, Life Is Strange: Double Exposure has a score of 71 from top critics on OpenCritic. While many reviewers praised its visuals and nostalgic feel, they generally felt it didn’t have the same emotional impact or strong characters as earlier games in the series.

A New Life Is Strange Game Will Be Revealed on January 20

  • Airing January 20 at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 6pm GMT/ 7pm CT.

Despite the varying reactions to Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, Deck Nine has announced a new Life Is Strange game. The reveal will happen on January 20th, shared through a post on the official Life Is Strange X (formerly Twitter) account. The post invites fans to “Separate the real from the rumor…” and links to a video on the Life Is Strange YouTube channel, premiering January 20th at 10am PT/1pm ET. The video’s title, “Life is Strange Returns in 2026,” suggests the game will be released this year. Deck Nine also reposted the announcement on their official X account, confirming they are once again developing the new installment.

Fans noticed something interesting in the official announcement for the new Life Is Strange game. The announcement seems to hint at a rumor that started last week. On January 8th, sharp-eyed players discovered a rating for Life Is Strange: Reunion on the PEGI website. This leaked listing suggested that Chloe Price would travel to Caledon University – the setting of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure – to reconnect with Max Caulfield. Although the rating was quickly taken down, fans managed to see it gave the unconfirmed game a 16+ age rating and a release date of March 3, 2025.

The recent post hinting at ‘separating fact from fiction’ suggests some of the information circulating about the upcoming Life Is Strange: Reunion isn’t quite right. We know the release date mentioned in the PEGI rating is incorrect, and details about the story or even the game’s title might also be inaccurate. However, fans will definitely learn the official name of the new Life Is Strange game on January 20th.

Fans of Life Is Strange have a lot to look forward to: a new game and a live-action TV series! Announced in September 2025, the show is being developed by Amazon. Charlie Covell, known for creating the Netflix series Kaos, will lead the project as executive producer and showrunner. Recent reports suggest Maisy Stella, who played Daphne Conrad in Nashville, is being considered for the role of Max Caulfield. The Amazon Prime series will be based on the story of the first Life Is Strange game, but details about a release date or official cast are still to come.
