"Life is Strange Series Nears End"

According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has unfortunately been a financial disappointment for the company. This revelation was made by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he outlined the company's performance results. The financial losses incurred from Double Exposure were somewhat mitigated by cost-saving measures in development and the successful launch of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, the specific sales numbers for this latest installment of the Life is Strange series have not been disclosed, which underscores its underwhelming commercial impact.

The disappointing performance of Double Exposure did not come as a shock to many, particularly given the lukewarm response from the franchise's long-time fans following the game's announcement. Despite high initial hopes that the project would resonate with its audience, the final product fell short of expectations. The game's end credits included a teaser message stating that "Max Caulfield will return," but the likelihood of continuing her story now appears slim.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to elaborate further on the matter. It is only known that the company has described the game's performance as a "significant loss," a label previously applied to other underperforming titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and certain entries in the Tomb Raider series. This terminology casts serious doubts on the future of the Life is Strange franchise.
