The collection allows players to experience Dontnod’s original Life Is Strange with improvements such as visual upgrades for characters and fully motion-captured facial animation.
The collection also includes the Before The Storm prequel, developed by Deck Nine, which has also seen some visual improvements. It also contains outfits exclusive to the deluxe edition of Before The Storm and the Farewell extra episode.
There is no new release date for the Nintendo Switch version of the Life Is Strange: Remastered Collection, but it is currently promised for some time this year.
In other news, a new report has revealed the extensive level of crunch developers at TT Games underwent during the development of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Staff were reportedly pressured into crunch, with one former employee saying, “It was very soft-spoken blackmail. If people don’t start doing overtime, there’s going to be problems.”
