Well-loved Life Is Strange protagonist Max Caulfield is back, in an all-new murder mystery adventure, Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, due out on 29th October for PS5. Developed once again by Deck Nine, the team behind the equally excellent Life Is Strange: True Colors, the release will cast an older Max at university, when her world is turned upside-down due to the sudden murder of her friend, Safi.
The press release explains: “To save her, Max tries to Rewind time – a power she’s not 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.”
There’ll be three versions of the game available at launch: Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate. Of note, the most expensive option will include Advanced Access to Episodes 1 and 2 from 12th October. It’s worth noting, though, that this is not an episodic game: the entire story will be playable from start-to-finish whichever version you buy from 29th October.

@rusty82 I really like the parallel universe concept. Interesting possibilities.
Had me worried when you mentioned episodes
