Amazon Studios is officially developing Life is Strange and Disco Elysium TV shows as part of its new deal with production company dj2 Entertainment. Created by Dontnod Entertainment, the former video game franchise puts players in the shoes of various protagonists with superhuman abilities to rewind time, manipulate emotions or move objects telepathically. Having first launched in 2015 with the eponymous episodic title, Life is Strange has received largely positive reviews across its five titles for its unique concept, storytelling and character development, though some criticism has been directed towards its outdated dialogue and lip-syncing issues.
Developed and published by indie studio ZA/UM, Disco Elysium is a role-playing game in which players take on the role of an amnesiac detective tasked with solving a murder mystery and discovering the truth behind his own past. First released in 2019, the game has received rave reviews for its narrative and conversational systems while the expanded edition subtitled The Final Cut received further acclaim for its new quests and dialogue, though the PlayStation versions saw criticism for game-breaking bugs. Though both games have seen the concept of adaptations explored throughout the years, fans of the titles may be closer than ever to seeing them come to life.
