You can check out the reveal trailer below:
Per the game's Steam listing, the protagonist is named Alex Chen, wielding the power of Empathy, allowing her to absorb, experience and even change around the emotions of those around her, which she perceives as blazing, bright colors. The plot kicks off with the death of Chen's brother, which she begins to investigate. Deck Nine previously developed Life is Strange: Before the Storm, a prequel story set before the events of the first Life is Strange, which was developed by Dontnod, the team that also developed Life is Strange 2.
The Deluxe Edition of Life is Strange: True Colors includes new outfits and an extra sidequest. The Ultimate Edition includes the Deluxe Edition items, as well as a remaster of Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, including a Zombie Chloe outfit.
Unlike prior titles, it's shipping as a full game all at once, meaning there's no waiting for episodes to release. Life is Strange: True Colors currently has a release date of September 10, 2021. It's coming to Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, PC, and Stadia.
