Deck Nine emphasizes that this isn’t just nostalgia for players who sacrificed Arcadia Bay—the game explores the duo’s dynamic in fresh ways. Chloe remains the brash, outspoken punk turning anxieties into strengths, while Max is the observant, time-rewinding character whose powers let her influence reality subtly. The team calls their relationship “endlessly interesting,” and Reunion leans into that by letting players experience both sides of it firsthand.
Life is Strange: Reunion is bringing Max and Chloe back together 11 years after the original game, with Deck Nine showing new gameplay at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Set to release on March 26, this non-episodic entry lets players control both Max and Chloe, offering insight into both perspectives as they navigate a fiery weekend and reconnect at Caledon University.
