"Life is Strange Series Nears End"

According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has proven to be a financial disappointment for the company. This was highlighted by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he discussed the company's performance. The financial losses incurred from Double Exposure were somewhat mitigated by cost-saving measures in development and the strong sales of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, Square Enix did not disclose the specific sales figures for Life is Strange: Double Exposure, underscoring its poor commercial performance.

The disappointing results were not unexpected, given the lukewarm reception from the franchise's dedicated fanbase when the game was announced. Despite high hopes that the game would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. The game's end credits included a message hinting at the return of Max Caulfield, but the likelihood of continuing her story now appears slim.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to provide further comments on the matter. They classified the game's performance as a "significant loss," a term previously used for titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and certain Tomb Raider entries that also underperformed. This has cast serious doubts over the future of the Life is Strange franchise.
