Square Enix to Reveal Life Is Strange Reunion Following Ratings Leaks

Square Enix scheduled an official reveal livestream for the next Life Is Strange entry after a series of ratings board leaks raised fan expectations. The stream is set to air today, January 20, at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm GMT, and arrives amid speculation that the game will carry the subtitle Reunion and bring back franchise favorite Chloe Price.

Leaked ratings information included a PEGI synopsis that referenced Caledon University and described a looming inferno threatening the campus. Those lines of text sparked immediate conversation in the Life Is Strange community, where setting and cast choices are treated as key signals about tone, mechanics, and whose relationships will drive the narrative. The livestream gives Square Enix an opportunity to either confirm those details or clarify misunderstanding created by the ratings entries.

Deck Nine has been linked to recent Life Is Strange projects, and the developer connection matters for how fans interpret the leaks. Deck Nine produced previous entries and spin-offs in the series, and comment about the studio’s involvement has been paired with reports of workforce challenges. Community members who follow development credits will be watching the reveal for developer confirmation and to assess how staffing changes might shape scope and support plans.

This moment matters because Life Is Strange thrives on character-driven twists and player-driven choices, and Chloe Price’s presence would shift expectations around tone and thematic focus. A campus setting like Caledon University also signals potential for ensemble casts, coming-of-age beats, and localized mysteries that fit the franchise’s established strengths. For players tracking narrative continuity and voice actors, the reveal could settle debates over whether this is a direct continuation, a soft reboot, or a standalone story sharing franchise motifs.

Practically, the livestream will resolve two immediate needs for the community: a definitive title and an official developer credit. It will also affect pre-order and coverage plans for outlets, streamers, and community content creators preparing previews, reaction videos, and theory breakdowns. Fans invested in story continuity should note the developer credit and any casting announcements closely, while modders and content creators will look for demos, release windows, and platform information.

What comes next is confirmation or correction: the livestream will either validate the leaked PEGI synopsis and the Reunion subtitle or reset expectations. Either outcome will reshape community discussion and the lineup of content creators planning coverage in the lead-up to launch.
