"Life is Strange Series May Be Ending Soon"

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 announced by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he discussed the company's performance results. The financial losses incurred from Double Exposure were mitigated to some extent by cost-cutting measures in development and the successful launch of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, specific sales figures for the new installment of Life is Strange were not disclosed, which underscores its poor commercial performance.

The disappointing outcome was not unexpected by many, given the lukewarm response from the franchise's long-time fans following the game's announcement. Despite high initial hopes that the project would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. The game's end credits included a message stating that "Max Caulfield will return," but given the current situation, the future of her storyline appears highly uncertain.

Square Enix chose not to provide additional comments during the financial report presentation. The only information released was that the performance of Double Exposure was described as a "significant loss," a label that has previously been applied to titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and certain entries in the Tomb Raider series, which also underperformed. This development casts serious doubt over the future of the Life is Strange franchise.
