"Life is Strange Series Nears End"

According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has unfortunately been a financial disappointment for the company. This was candidly acknowledged by Square Enix's president during a recent briefing where he discussed the company's performance. 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 specific sales numbers for this latest addition to the Life is Strange series have not been disclosed, underscoring its lackluster commercial performance.

The disappointing outcome did not come as a shock to many, particularly given the lukewarm response from the franchise's dedicated fanbase upon the game's announcement. Despite high hopes that the project would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. The game's end credits included a teaser that "Max Caulfield will return," yet the future of this storyline now appears highly uncertain.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to elaborate further. It is only known that the company has described the game's performance as a "significant loss," a label previously applied to other underperforming titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and certain entries in the Tomb Raider series. This classification casts serious doubts on the future prospects of the Life is Strange franchise.
