"Life is Strange Series May End 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 disclosed by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he outlined the company's performance results. The financial losses incurred from *Double Exposure* were somewhat mitigated by cost-cutting measures in development and the successful launch of the *Dragon Quest 3* remake. However, the precise sales numbers for the new *Life is Strange* installment were not disclosed, further emphasizing its poor commercial performance.

The outcome was not unexpected by many, especially given the lukewarm response from the franchise's long-time fans when the game was first 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 stating that "Max Caulfield will return," but the likelihood of continuing her story now seems uncertain.

Square Enix chose not to elaborate further during the financial report presentation. It is only known that the company has described the game's performance as a "significant loss"—a label previously applied to titles like *Guardians of the Galaxy* and certain entries in the *Tomb Raider* series, which also underperformed. This situation raises serious concerns about the future of the *Life is Strange* franchise.
