Out of nowhere, Life is Strange: Reunion, the latest entry in Square Enix’s narrative adventure series, has been rated by PEGI (as discovered by Reddit). Potential spoilers follow because the description gives away the return of a major character, so beware if you haven’t played Double Exposure.
After uncertainty regarding her fate from the first game, it seems Chloe Price is alive. The premise revolves around her coming to Caledon University, “haunted by nightmares and impossible memories” while seeking Max’s help. However, things are apparently already stressful for Miss Caulfield because “in three days, a deadly inferno will destroy the campus.”
A consequence of using her time-jumping-turned-dimensional-hopping powers in Double Exposure? Perhaps. It certainly wouldn’t be the first butterfly effect in the series.
Rated “16” for violence, foul language, drugs, and in-game purchases, Reunion seemingly features “strong, realistic violence.” However, there is a fair amount of implication. At one point, a building is on fire and “people are heard inside screaming for help” as opposed to, say, being shown burning alive. Other heavy topics like suicide are also brought up.
Much like Double Exposure, players can also purchase new outfits and even upgrade to a Digital Deluxe version. Perhaps the only strange (pun fully intended) part is that it’s listed for release on March 27th, 2025, for PS5, but it could be an error.
Square Enix has yet to officially announce the title, so stay tuned for an official announcement, potentially in the coming months. With PS5 listed as the sole platform, it may appear at an upcoming State of Play.
