Publisher Square Enix has revealed they’re holding a Square Enix Presents Spring 2021 showcase next week on Friday, March 18. During the 40 minute show full of announcements and new trailers, the team will be revealing the next game in the Life Is Strange franchise, as well as a look at upcoming titles and new content in existing titles.
The headlining act will be the world premiere of the new Life Is Strange title. The title will have a new story and feature a new cast, one or more of which will have a new power. Original franchise developer Dontnod had six games in development at the start of November; however, the latest rumors suggest the developer has parted ways with Square Enix and all work on the Life Is Strange franchise has been passed on to Deck Nine, the developer of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. Upcoming title Outriders will be making an appearance too, ahead of its release on April 1. The title’s demo has been downloaded more than 2 million times. Having observed players as they have fun with the demo, the team has decided to make changes to game mechanics like loot drops so they’re more befitting the spirit of the game. The show will demonstrate a new look at the game, possibly with some of these changes implemented into the title. Another upcoming title, Balan Wonderworld, will also be showing itself off before its release later this month on March 26.
