At this moment, neither Square Enix nor Deck Nine has confirmed Life is Strange: Reunion will be the last game in the franchise. There are still plenty of opportunities to explore the universe with new characters and established ones, but recent rumor suggest Reunion is “the final installment of Life is Strange.”

As we know, Amazon is working on a Life is Strange TV show. It will adapt the event of 2015’s Life is Strange original video game. Tatum Grace Hopkins is confirmed to play Max Caulfield, while Maisy Stella has been cast as her bestie, Chloe Price. Karyn Kusama is confirmed to direct the first two episodes, and the start of production and release date for the show remain unknown.
