Max and Chloe reunite in LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION

Today, Square Enix announced a new LIFE IS STRANGE title, REUNION. A direct sequel to DOUBLE EXPOSURE, REUNION sees Max regain her Rewind powers as she attempts to avert a devastating fire when Chloe suddenly comes back into her life.

Since the original LIFE IS STRANGE nearly 11 years ago, iconic characters Max Caulfield and Chloe Price have been through a literal whirlwind of friendship, love, heartbreak and loss. Now, in a once-thought-impossible return, the two will finally reunite in the upcoming full-length adventure, LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION, which SQUARE ENIX announced today during a livestream. Developed by Deck Nine Games, LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION will launch on March 26, 2026, for PlayStation^®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam^® and Microsoft Store on Windows.

In LIFE IS STRANGE: REUNION, players will once again visit Caledon University, where Max Caulfield works as a photography teacher. Returning from a weekend away, Max finds her beloved Caledon ablaze, as a raging inferno destroys the hallowed grounds and ends the lives of Max’s friends, students and faculty alike. Max only escapes the devastation due to her Rewind power – returning from the original LIFE IS STRANGE – a supernatural ability that lets her reverse time.

Jumping back in time through a selfie, Max now has just three days to work out how the fire began. Can she make the most of her second chance to prevent this fiery disaster?

That’s when Chloe Price arrives at Caledon, much to Max’s surprise: a shocking repercussion of Max’s merging of the timelines at the end of LIFE IS STRANGE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE. Haunted by nightmares of a past she never lived, and with her grip on reality unravelling, Chloe needs Max’s help.

For the very first time in the series, players can play as both Max and Chloe in the same game, alternating between their different perspectives as the story unfolds.

Players will use Max’s Rewind power to undo and redo decisions, change the course of conversations and manipulate the environment to solve four-dimensional puzzles, and use Chloe’s Backtalk ability, quick wits, and take-no-prisoners attitude to sway key suspects – and go where Max can’t.

This game builds on all the character-led, grounded storytelling for which the LIFE IS STRANGE series is known, with meaningful choices that affect the outcome of a dramatic and surprising narrative – all culminating in an epic climax that serves as a finale to the Max and Chloe saga.

The Standard Edition of the game will be available at a suggested retail price of only $39.99. Additionally, players can also purchase the Deluxe Edition, Twin Pack, and Collector’s Edition versions of the game. Players who pre-order any edition will receive the Max and Chloe Classic Outfits DLC. This bonus is also available with the purchase of any edition until May 5, 2026.
