'Life is Strange: Remastered Collection' delayed until early 2022
Storm is still on track for its September 10 release date. For people who have pre-ordered the True Color Ultimate Edition entitled The Remastered Collection, the game is still available. The Ultimate Edition contains access to two games from the remastered collection, but players will have to wait until early 2022 to access them.
We have some bad news for Life is Strange fans as developer Deck Nine delayed the remaster on Twitter, opening a wide time window for a release in 2022. For this reason we have made the difficult decision to postpone the release of Life Is Strange: The Remastered Collection on all platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia and Switch) until early 2022. The postponement to an unspecified date in 2022 means the collection will no longer appear in September.
The remaster was originally scheduled for release on September 30 shortly after the announcement in Square Enix E3 this summer. To ensure a quick decision, Deck Nine has now postponed the remaster until early 2022.
Life is Strange is not the first game to experience COVID-19 delays as the studio continues to navigate the difficult transition and challenge the pandemic. In recent years, a hidden studio culture has come to light. However long the delay, the remastering of the original Life is Strange: Into the Storm has proved to be a bigger task than it first appeared.
Deck Nine Games has announced that both games have been postponed to early 2022, scrapping the release date originally planned for September this year. The announcement states that the delay was meant to make things easier for the development team. For fans of the series there is a brand new game in the form of True Colours.
We are not ready to release on September 10, as we originally planned to release later this year. In light of this we have made the difficult decision to postpone release of Life Is Strange: Remastered Collection on all platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia and Switch) until early 2022. Remastered is on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC and Stadia now in 2022.
