Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Now Available, Launch Trailer Released

DontNod released Life is Strange episodically in 2015. It was an unexpected hit. The sequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm also proved to be a success, although it was not surprising as we knew exactly what DontNod, Deck Nine and the Before the Storm team were capable. 

Since the 2015 release of Life is Strange, we’ve received two mainline sequels in Life Is Strange 2 and Life is Strange: True Colors. As the stories have grown more complicated, performance and visuals have also improved. These changes have been made to Life is Strange 2 and 3 respectively. Both are available in the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection. 

The collection includes Life is Strange and Before the Storm, remastered in a higher visual quality and at faster frame rates. Check out the trailer to see what it looks like in action. 

“Firstly, I want to recognize DontNod for creating the incredible original Life is Strange game and now offer thanks to Deck Nine Games for improving the emotional on-screen performance of these beloved characters,” co-head of Square Enix External Studios Jon Brooke writes in a press release. “The result of both teams’ hard work is that the Life is Strange Remastered Collection can be the beginning of an exciting and emotional journey for many new players for years to come.” 

Below are some features from this collection.

• New character models and environmental visuals
• Improvements in motion-captured lipsync and facial animating
• New engine, lighting improvements
• Some puzzle game updates
• Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered includes previously released deluxe content (bonus outfits and the ‘Farewell’ bonus episode)
• Original scores and all licensed tracks from original games 

The Ultimate Edition Life is Strange: True Colors includes the Remastered Collection. You can buy the entire collection on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S.
