The original developer of the Life is Strange series has announced that it’s delaying its new Life is Strange-style narrative adventure - because of the return of the OG Life is Strange protagonist.
While it’s still comparatively rare for developers to admit that they’re moving release dates because of their competitors, it’s starting to happen more and more often. Last year,Baldur’s Gate 3’s decision to dodge Starfieldwas a particularly high-profile example, but indie games are also starting to move their release dates around to get away from AAA juggernauts - just take thispromising soulslike that was initially scheduled to launch on the exact same day as Shadow of the Erdtree. There’s still, however, something particularly fun about the OG bowing out of the way of its successor out of respect for its famous franchise.
Lost Records: Bloom and Rage is split into two parts, partly because of Game of Thrones.
