Life is Strange Remasters for Nintendo Switch Coming September 27

Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Edition comes out on September 27 for Nintendo Switch. The bundle includes the remastered versions of Life is Strange and its prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm.

The bundle combines all chapters from 2015’s Life is Strange and from 2017’s Life is Strange: Before the Storm. For the remaster, all characters have been revised and developer Dontnod has re-recorded character movements, lip sync and facial animations.

The bundle was announced last year and the Switch version has since been delayed twice. It was initially supposed to be released in September 2021, but due to the consequences of the corona pandemic, that was canceled. After that, the remasters would be released on February 1, 2022. The Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC and Google Stadia versions did come out on that date, but the Switch version was rescheduled again. That was because it took more time to work on that version, said publisher Square Enix at the time.

It is not known whether there are also plans to release a Switch version of Life is Strange 2. That game was released on September 27, 2018 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows, macOS and Linux. Life is Strange: True Colors, the latest game in the series, was released for Switch on December 7, 2021.
