There’s not long left until the arrival of Life is Strange: True Colours, and ahead of its 10th September release, publisher Square Enix has shared 13 minutes of new gameplay footage, from what appears to be very early in the adventure.
True Colours sees the Life is Strange series heading off to another picturesque corner of the United States – this time to a small Colorado town, Haven Springs, in the shadow of the Rockies – for a brand-new adventure featuring a predominantly new cast of characters.
Here, the focus is on new protagonist Alex Chen who, unusually for the series, has lived with her powers – enabling her to hear the thoughts of other characters, as well as view and experience their emotions – for some time prior to the start of the adventure.
We’ve already seen small sections of gameplay from True Colors – mostly focused on how Alex’s abilities will help drive the supernatural mystery story forward – but Square and developer Deck Nine (the studio behind Life is Strange: Before the Storm, taking over from series creator Dontnod) have now shared the biggest chunk of gameplay yet.
The new 13-minute gameplay video above sees Alex visiting Haven Springs’ record store and running into Colorado state park ranger Ryan (store owner, local DJ, and Before the Storm character, Steph Gingrich, also makes an appearance) for some slightly awkward introductions.
