Square Enix's latest financial report reveals that Life is Strange: Double Exposure has become a commercial disappointment for the company. During a recent earnings briefing, the Square Enix president confirmed the title's underperformance while presenting the company's financial results. Though cost-cutting measures and the successful launch of the Dragon Quest 3 remake helped mitigate losses, the precise sales data for this Life is Strange sequel remains undisclosed—further underscoring its poor market reception.
The outcome wasn't entirely unexpected, particularly given lukewarm reactions from longtime franchise supporters when the game was first announced. Despite early optimism that the project would resonate with fans, its final commercial results fell short. A post-credits tease hinted at "Max Caulfield will return," but the franchise's future now appears uncertain at best.
Square Enix declined to provide additional comments during the financial presentation. Notably, the company categorized the game's performance as a "significant loss"—a designation previously applied to underperforming titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and certain Tomb Raider installments. This development casts serious doubt on whether the Life is Strange series will continue.
