Square Enix is currently focused on releasing Life is Strange: True ColorsВ later this year. As with any rumors, this should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

A rumor earlier this year suggested aВ fifth Life is Strange game is currently in pre-production stages thatВ would continue the story of Max and Chloe from the first game. Max deserves a proper sequel of her own, not just for the sake of her character or her fans, but to bring Life is StrangeВ full circle. On top of all that, it's important to note the physical version of the Life is Strange comics aren't readily available to purchase outside of the US and UK, which is a shame because Life is Strange fans are scattered all across the world. Video games and mundanity go hand in hand, and optional moments players can choose to experience are what set video games apart from comics and other mediums. Life is Strange is a game about choices, and comicsВ remove the possibility of such an existence. The biggest issue here is that fans don't get to live Max's life as they do in the game, rather they get to witness it passively. The comic book storyline doesn't do Max justice, seemingly because it's a different medium with an arguably separate audience. There is a brief cameo of Max and Chloe in Life is Strange 2, depending on the first game's ending, but this doesn't reveal much about these characters. In contrast, Max's arc ends vaguely in the first Life is Strange, with no hint about what she plans to do next. Aside from the tragic endings, Sean ends up reaching Puerto Lobos in all of the other ones and starts fresh.

In comparison, Life is Strange 2 does a fine job of concluding Sean Diaz's arc. Maxine Max Caulfield from Square Enixs Life is Strange Wikia Time: Maxine Caulfield, better known as Max (born September 21, 1995). Whatever ending of Life is StrangeВ one sees, Max's future remains largely a mystery. As such, Max isn't an empowering character in a traditional sense that fans look up to, rather she'sВ the embodiment of those fans. Many people likely discovered their sexuality after experiencing the first Life is Strange. It's also important to acknowledge how Max's bisexual character opened up the pathway to many other LGBT characters in the video gameВ space, including Dontnod's own Tyler Ronan from Tell Me Why. While Chloe is the star of Life is Strange, Max is its guiding wind. Max is a believable protagonist that fans not just admire, but often relate to. Max's clumsiness, indecisiveness, and self-effacing nature make her endearing to many. This doesn't mean thatВ Max is a better protagonist than the other two, she just set the stage for what fans would expect from future Life is Strange protagonists. What separates Max from the likes of Chloe Price and Sean Diaz, the protagonists of Life is Strange: Before the StormВ and Life is Strange 2В respectively, is that she's theВ coreВ of the Life is StrangeВ games and the community that formed around it.
