Square Enix's recent financial report revealed that Life is Strange: Double Exposure significantly underperformed, resulting in a financial loss for the company. The president of Square Enix confirmed this during a briefing outlining the company's performance, noting that while cost-cutting measures and the successful Dragon Quest 3 remake partially offset the losses, the game's weak commercial performance is undeniable. Specific sales figures for Double Exposure remain undisclosed.
This outcome wasn't entirely unexpected, given the lukewarm reception to the game's announcement among longtime fans. While initial hopes were high, the final result proved disappointing. Although the game's credits teased Max Caulfield's return, the future of the Life is Strange franchise now appears uncertain.
Square Enix offered no further comment during the financial report presentation. The company's characterization of the game's performance as a "significant loss"—a term previously applied to underperforming titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and even some Tomb Raider entries—casts significant doubt on the series' future prospects.
