Don’t Nod decided to delay its narrative adventure gameLost Records: Bloom & Rageto early 2025 in the wake ofLife is Strange: Double Exposure’sannouncement and imminent launch this October.
For those out of the loop, Don’t Nod created the Life is Strange series with Square Enix. Although Don’t Nod moved on from the series afterLife is Strange 2, neither party involved stopped making narrative adventure games. Don’t Nod went on to makeTell Me Whyin 2020, and some Life is Strange alumni formed a new Don’t Nod studio in Montreal that same year to create the Lost Records franchise.
The first Lost Records game,Blood & Rage, was announced atThe Game Awards 2023and follows a group of friends who experience some still unrevealed traumatic event in the summer of 1995 and must deal with the fallout of it 27 years later. ThinkLife is StrangemeetsYellowjackets. Don’t Nod planned to releaseLost Records: Bloom & Ragethis year, but plans changed.
Concurrently to all of those goings-on at Don’t Nod, Square Enix continued the Life is Strange series through games likeBefore the StormandTrue Colorswith developer Deck Nine. Deck Nine and Square Enix announcedLife is Strange: Double Exposure, which continues the story of the firstLife is Strangeprotagonist Max Caufield, at theXbox Games Showcasethis year. It’s out on October 29, so Don’t Nod decided to pushLost Records: Bloom & Rageback.
