Developer Don’t Nod Entertainment has delayed the release of its upcoming two-part narrative-driven adventure game, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, to early 2025. The reason for this is that the team wants to give its spiritual cousin, Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, a space to shine later this year.
Lost Records was originally scheduled to release in late 2024, which is also when the next Life is Strange is scheduled to be released. Instead of competing with Life Is Strange, which Don’t Nod produced with the first Life Is Strange and which followed with Life Is Strange 2 before Double Exposure developer Deck Nine took over with 2017’s Before the Storm and 2021’s True Colors, the studio will be releasing the 2025 I decided to postpone it until next year.
“We’ve decided to move the release date of Lost Records: Bloom & Rage to early 2025. We know you’re all excited for both Lost Records and the new Life Is Strange game, and we wanted to make sure both games have their own space to shine. It’ll be worth the wait.”
