According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has turned out to be a financial failure for the company. This was stated by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he presented the company's performance results. The losses from Double Exposure were partially offset by efforts to reduce development costs and the successful release of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, the exact sales figures for the new installment of Life is Strange remain undisclosed, further highlighting its weak commercial performance.

The situation did not come as a surprise to many, especially considering the muted reaction from long-time fans of the franchise to the game's announcement. Despite initial expectations that the project would meet fan hopes, the final outcome proved disappointing. The end credits of the game featured a message stating that "Max Caulfield will return", but now the prospects for continuing the story seem highly uncertain.

Square Enix refrained from commenting during the financial report presentation. All that is known is that the company has labeled the game's performance as a "significant loss"—a term previously used for titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and even some entries in the Tomb Raider series, which also underperformed in their time. This raises serious doubts about the future of the Life is Strange franchise.
