Life is Strange: True Colors is a game about empathy, but don’t mistake the feeling-driven narrative<\/a> for being something soft or “weak.” With empathy comes a strength that is often buried. To feel so fully is a blessing and a curse, and Deck Nine is taking that complexity and transforming it into a new adventure for Life is Strange fans to enjoy, endure, and to overcome.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With E3 2021 in full swing, Square Enix revealed another new look at Alex Chen’s story in Life is Strange: True Colors. Before, the team at Deck Nine showed off the next step for the franchise, a tale of Alex desperately trying to solve the mystery of her brother’s death. Just like Max in the first game, there is a supernatural element at play. Instead of the power to rewind time, however, Alex has the power of empathy. Sometimes, that power is too much, too overwhelming. Flowing from a mindless rage into a bottomless pit of grief, only to mosey on over to ecstatic happiness – people everywhere are going through\u00a0something,\u00a0<\/em>so when empathy comes into play, especially in a powerful form like in True Colors, the impact can be immense and overwhelming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In the latest trailer, as seen above, we see the varying degrees of her power. She can harness human emotion, she can amplify human emotion. It’s a lot to handle and even more to master. Especially with the emotions we try to ignore, the uglier side of humanity: anger, despair, jealousy.\u00a0This look also gives us a glimpse into her own personal journey. Going from realizing her power and thinking it a burden, to mastering it and learning what a gift it can truly be with enough control and enough personal introspection. It’s honestly beautiful. Is it an adrenaline-driven adventure coming off the heels of a reveal like Battlefield 2042? Absolutely not, it’s a tale, a beautiful one, about an aspect of human connection that we as a people continue to stray further and further from.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nova revealed is an emotionally charged state that will help Alex uncover the answers she seeks, but as seen – this is a double-edged sword. You can’t unlearn what you know, and that feeling? Alex absorbs it into herself, feeling it as if it is her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I think what Deck Nine is doing with Alex’s tale is incredibly important <\/a>and I can’t wait to learn more before the game arrives later this year.\u00a0Life is Strange: True Colors will be available in three editions: the Standard, the Deluxe, and the Ultimate. You can learn more about the different versions right\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0through the game’s official website. The adventure begins on September 10, 2021, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
