Life is Strange Collection includes Life is Strange Remastered, Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered, Life is Strange 2, Life is Strange: True Colors Deluxe Edition, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure Ultimate Edition. Along with the games themselves, Life is Strange Collection will also include all of the DLC and pre-order bonuses that were released for each game.

All of the Life is Strange games included in the collection tell their own stories with unique protagonists, from Max Caulfield in the first game, to Chloe Price in Before the Storm.

Life is Strange Collection will feature True Colors and Double Exposure in the form of physical discs, while the other three games, along with all DLC and pre-order bonuses, will be available in the form of a code that has to be redeemed online.

The latest game in the series, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, was released back in October 2024. The game features the protagonist of the original Life is Strange–Max Caulfield–and takes place a decade after the events of the first game. Life is Strange: Double Exposure takes place in Caledon University in Vermont.

Max works as a photographer, and ends up awakening to new time-based powers after discovering her best friend Safi dead in the snow. The core gameplay mechanics in Life is Strange: Double Exposure revolves around Max being able to swap between two different timelines. Using this power, Max must figure out how Safi died, and maybe even try and prevent her death to begin with.

In our review, we gave Life is Strange: Double Exposure a score of 9 out of 10. We praised its premise, characters, and the kinds of choices that players are forced to make, while criticising technical rough edges and the rare bout of sloppy writing.

As for the reason behind the delay, the developer cited the current pandemic. It wants to “alleviate any additional pressure” on the team by providing more time between the release of Life is Strange: True Colors and the Remastered Collection. More details will be revealed in the coming months but a first look trailer will premiere tomorrow for Wavelengths in the meantime.

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection is in development for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, Google Stadia and Nintendo Switch. Along with the first two games in the series, which sport improved visuals, it also adds improvements to the gameplay and puzzles. Bonus content like the Farewell episode and Chloe’s outfits are also included.

Along with improved visuals, the character animation has been improved. Facial expressions have been fully motion captured but unfortunately, this only applies to Life is Strange Remastered. The gameplay and puzzles are also seeing some updates though Deck Nine hasn’t revealed the same just yet. Nevertheless, the decisions governing the future of Arcadia Bay look as emotionally charged as well.

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. It includes remasters of the first game and Life is Strange: Before the Storm along with additional content like the bonus episode “Farewell” and outfits for Chloe. Pre-orders are currently live so stay tuned for more details and updates.

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection includes remasters of the first game and Life is Strange: Before the Storm along with Chloe’s bonus outfits and the bonus episode “Farewell“. While the new trailer doesn’t provide an extensive look at the differences, the remasters offer full facial mocap performances, updates to the engine and lighting and improved animations.

The gameplay and puzzles have also apparently seen some updates but we’ll have to wait and see how that works. Life is Strange: Remastered Collection will be coming to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Google Stadia. Square Enix’s E3 2021 showcase will take place tomorrow at 12:15 PM PT so expect more details there.
