In a statement on Twitter today, the Life Is Strange development team announced that they would be delaying the release of Life Is Strange Remastered Collection in order to "alleviate any additional pressure" on the studio, who will also be working on Life Is Strange: True Colors, due to release this Autumn.
Life Is Strange Remastered Collection will now launch in early 2022 on all platforms.
"Due to the ongoing challenges of the worldwide pandemic, we want to alleviate any additional pressure on the Life is Strange team by giving more time between the release of Life is Strange: True Colors and the Life is Strange Remastered Collection. We hope you understand."
It's not all bad news, though. The Life Is Strange: Wavelengths DLC, a prequel set prior to the events of True Colors, and starring Steph Gingrich as the protagonist, will be releasing on September 30th, the date originally intended for the Remastered Collection. A trailer will be revealed for the DLC tomorrow, August 12th.
Also, people who have pre-ordered the True Colors Ultimate Edition will still be entitled to the Remastered Collection when they come out.
Life Is Strange: True Colors is still scheduled for the 10th of September.

how will I wait for that long to hear Chloe shout outdated slang that no one even ever uses in the real world wherever I go now
@TheFrenchiestFry Nobody used it in 2015 either. I want a spin-off where you play as the serial killer and rid the world of Chloe and Warren.

I'm only okay with this delay IF it means there will be a physical version.
otherwise, this delay just killed the hype entirely.
LIS and LIS Before the Storm are my favorite games ever, but if there's no physical version of the remaster, then there's no need to doubledip.
PSA: The physical release of Life Is Strange: True Colors requires a mandatory download (at least at this stage). Status of the remastered collection is currently unknown.
@TheFrenchiestFry That's hella rude, shaka brah!
Understand totally, but some gamers will get their whips out, I'm sure.
@Silly_G I have it preordered on PS4, which is a mandatory download for everything 🙃
@Clarice Totally agree!
Proceeds to play Waifu Uncovered
I'll definitely pick up Life is Strange and Before the Storm Remastered for Switch on Day 1 if a physical release is available. Same goes for a PS5 version. If not then I'm fine with my original copies. Since True Colors requires a download then I'll wait for a discount to pick up a PS5 copy.
Jeez there's a lot of vitriol in this comment section huh? Idk about the package itself as an experience as I haven't played it myself, but in response to delay?
Ngl though, if you comb E3 coverage like I do, this was pretty obvious from the getgo. On the other consoles they definitively said September, with Switch they tentatively said releasing alongside the third installment. Very easy to spot the difference in standing imo
This always felt like the most unnecessary "remaster"
It's also going to be funny when the "remastered" versions of these games on the Switch look worse than the originals.
@damien33ad well life is strange dude
Darnit, and here I had my organic avocado toast and fair trade lattechino all lined up for the occasion, too....
@NEStalgia
This is the best internet comment I've ever read.
@ieatdragonz There are a couple videos out there called "The Worst Best Friend" that basically rips this series a new one and lays all the narrative flaws bare to the world.
I still have no idea what this game is. No matter what youtube videos I tried watching, all they have is cutscenes

Oh no!
Anyway…
Why do people get so riled up over representation in video games? Lmao
Wait, no jokes about PLEASE UNDERSTAND? Huh, life sure is strange.
@TheFrenchiestFry Actually because of Chloe, I use a lot of her slang. Also, Wowser nonstop, lol.. And I turn 39 tomorrow 😂
@Kreko Top 5 best game ever made (the original)
....noooooooooooooo.
