A leaked PEGI rating has revealed details about an upcoming Life is Strange sequel titled Reunion, featuring the return of characters Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. The synopsis describes Chloe seeking Max's help at Caledon University amid nightmares and an impending campus inferno. The rating, filed in March 2025, was quickly removed from the official site.
The Life is Strange series, known for its narrative-driven adventures and player choices, appears set for another installment following the 2024 release of Life is Strange: Double Exposure. That game, developed by Deck Nine Games and published by Square Enix, ended on a cliffhanger and received mixed reviews. It teased the potential return of original protagonist Max Caulfield while respecting player decisions from the 2015 debut, where players could choose to let Chloe Price die or have the pair depart together.
On January 8, 2026, fans discovered a PEGI rating for Life is Strange: Reunion on the European rating board's website, which was subsequently removed. The rating, classified as 16 like recent entries including True Colors, was filed in March 2025. It includes content warnings for illegal drug use, purchasable outfits available for real money, and a digital deluxe upgrade.
The accompanying synopsis states: "Chloe Price was Max Caulfield’s partner in time… Losing her is Max’s greatest regret. Now Chloe has come to Caledon University. Haunted by nightmares and impossible memories, Chloe needs Max’s help. But Max is already in crisis: in three days, a deadly inferno will destroy the campus."
This setup hints at a reunion between the iconic duo at Caledon University, the setting from Double Exposure. Following Double Exposure's release in November 2024, which reportedly resulted in losses for Square Enix, Deck Nine faced layoffs. CEO Mark Lyons commented: "This was an extremely difficult decision and reflects the challenging times our industry is currently facing."
Eurogamer's review of Double Exposure noted: "Like its own hero's dabbling with time travel, Life is Strange: Double Exposure highlights the troubles of trying to revisit old memories, while raising unanswered questions about the future," by Tom Phillips. The leak has sparked speculation among fans about how Reunion will handle continuity from prior choices, though official details remain scarce.
