Square Enix's recent financial report revealed that Life is Strange: Double Exposure has been a commercial disappointment for the company. During a briefing, the president of Square Enix discussed the company's performance, noting that losses from Double Exposure were mitigated by cost-cutting measures and the successful launch of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. Specific sales data for the latest Life is Strange installment were not disclosed, underscoring its lackluster market performance.
The news was not entirely unexpected, given the tepid response from longtime franchise fans following the game’s announcement. Despite hopes that the project would resonate with its audience, the final product fell short of expectations. A message in the game’s end credits hinted that "Max Caulfield will return," but the prospects for continuing the story now appear uncertain.
Square Enix offered no further comments during the financial report presentation. The company described the game’s performance as a "significant loss," a label previously applied to underperforming titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and certain Tomb Raider entries. This development casts doubt on the future of the Life is Strange series.
