According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has unfortunately been a financial disappointment for the company. This was revealed by Square Enix's president during a recent briefing on the company's performance. The financial losses incurred from Double Exposure were somewhat mitigated by cost-cutting measures and the strong sales of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, the specific sales numbers for Life is Strange: Double Exposure have not been disclosed, which underscores its lackluster commercial performance.
The outcome did not surprise many within the gaming community, particularly given the lukewarm response from the franchise's long-time fans when the game was announced. Despite high hopes that the project would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. The game's end credits included a message hinting at a continuation with "Max Caulfield will return", yet the future of this storyline now hangs in the balance.
Square Enix opted not to provide further comments during the financial report presentation. It is only known that the company described the game's performance as a "significant loss", a label it has previously applied to games like Guardians of the Galaxy and certain Tomb Raider entries, which also faced commercial challenges. This situation casts a shadow over the future prospects of the Life is Strange franchise.
