According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has been declared a financial failure by the company's president during a recent performance briefing. The disappointing sales of Double Exposure were somewhat mitigated by Square Enix's efforts to cut development costs and the strong performance of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, specific sales figures for the latest Life is Strange installment have not been disclosed, underscoring its lackluster market reception.

The financial flop of Double Exposure did not come as a shock to many industry observers, given the tepid response from the franchise's dedicated fanbase upon its announcement. Despite high hopes that the game would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. Notably, the game's end credits included a teaser stating "Max Caulfield will return," but given the game's poor commercial performance, the future of this storyline now hangs in the balance.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to elaborate further on the matter. The only information provided was that the game's performance was categorized as a "significant loss," a label previously applied to other underperforming titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and certain entries in the Tomb Raider series. This classification raises serious concerns about the viability of continuing the Life is Strange franchise.
