Double Exposure follows Max Caulfield, now a photographer-in-residence at the prestigious Caledon University. She discovers her closest new friend Safi dead in the snow, murdered. To try and save her, Max tries to Rewind time, a power she hasn’t used in years… Instead, Max opens the way to a parallel timeline where Safi is still alive and still in danger. Max realizes the killer will soon strike again – in both versions of reality. Only Max can Shift between the two parallel timelines to solve and prevent the same murder.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure will be available in three editions: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate. Players who pre-order the Ultimate edition now can gain advanced access to Chapters 1 and 2 on October 15, 2024, two weeks ahead of the game’s full release.

More details will be revealed during the Reveal live stream on Thursday, July 13 at 9:00 am PT. Viewers can expect to learn a plethora of behind-the-scenes secrets about what went into creating this thrilling new adventure, as well as an exclusive look at gameplay.
