Life Is Strange: Reunion Preview: What a Wild, Strange Trip It's Going to Be

Deck Nine’s Reunion reintroduces Max’s rewind and Chloe’s backtalk mechanics to conclude a decade-long story with darker themes and puzzle-driven gameplay, set after Double Exposure.

  • On March 26, Life Is Strange: Reunion reunites Max Caulfield and Chloe to cap Max's story, opening immediately after Double Exposure as Deck Nine presses to deliver the finale.
