New Life Is Strange Game Set for Official Reveal Next Week Following PEGI Leak.
Square Enix has confirmed that the next Life Is Strange game will be fully revealed on January 20, 2026, just days after an age-rating leak hinted at the project’s existence and story details. The announcement confirms long-standing rumors about a new installment in the beloved narrative adventure series.
Reveal Date & Teaser Details
The official Life Is Strange social media channels posted a teaser inviting fans to “separate the real from the rumor” and tune in for an exclusive reveal livestream on January 20 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT / 7 PM CET. This event will officially introduce the new title to the world.
While Square Enix hasn’t confirmed the game’s official name yet, the timing and phrasing strongly suggest this new entry could be Life Is Strange: Reunion, the title that briefly appeared on the PEGI rating board before being removed earlier this month.
What We Know from the Leak
The now-deleted PEGI listing reportedly described a story featuring Chloe Price and Max Caulfield, indicating a narrative focus on the iconic duo from the original Life Is Strange. According to the rating, Chloe comes to Caledon University, haunted by nightmares and impossible memories, and seeks Max’s help as a looming inferno threatens the campus within three days.

The leaked listing also suggested the game would carry a PEGI 16 rating due to strong language, implied drug use, and mature themes — consistent with the tone of past entries in the series.
Series Background & Expectations
The most recent Life Is Strange installment, Double Exposure, launched in 2024 to mixed reactions, and Square Enix has been relatively quiet about the franchise’s future. Deck Nine — the developer behind several Life Is Strange titles — appears set to helm the new project, bringing fans back into the emotionally charged, choice-driven storytelling the series is known for.
With the official reveal scheduled for next week, fans can expect a deeper look at the story, characters, and platforms for the next Life Is Strange game — and Square Enix may soon share a release window and gameplay details.
