The Life is Strange series is an excellent franchise helping to keep the choice-based adventure genre alive with interesting stories full of heart, relatable characters and a nostalgic vibe. Following on from 2024’s Double Exposure, Square Enix has now confirmed that they will be unveiling the 6th entry in the series next week.

Taking to YouTube, the official Life is Strange channel has teased that the franchise is set to return this year, posting an upcoming livestream set to go live on the 20th of January.

While there is very little to go on so far, the description for the livestream reads as follows: “Separate the real from the rumor… Join us for the exclusive reveal of the next Life is Strange game.”

While this could be a hint towards the game itself, the description is likely in reference to a recent leak by the PEGI ratings board for a game called Life is Strange: Reunion.

Curiously, the description for the title was eerily similar to that of the very first LiS entry – and so this comment by Square could be them trying to hint that there’s more to the game than the leaked description let on.

Either way, we won’t have to wait long to find out, with the Life is Strange livestream set to go live on the 20th of January at 5:30PM UK time.

Years on from its initial release on PlayStation and PC, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is finally set to land on the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox next week. In the lead-up to its launch, the team at Square Enix have confirmed that the PS5 and PC versions of the game will receive an update at the same time – bringing a number of welcome quality-of-life improvements.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the official Final Fantasy VII page wrote: “To celebrate Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade launch day on Nintendo Switch 2 & Xbox, a patch for the PS5 and PC versions will launch next Thursday.”

Exact details on the extent of the patch have not been shared, however we did get an overview, with the update set to introduce:

• Streamlined Progression
• The ability to keep HP and MP topped up
• Option to always hit for 9,999 damage

While these features will also be available on the Switch and Xbox versions, having the ability to bypass battles will be especially useful for PC and PS5 players who are simply wanting to re-experience the story ahead of part 3’s release at some point in the future.

Though not recommended for a first time playthrough, having these options available is welcome to see. It’ll be interesting to learn whether the patch introduces any other changes/additions.
