According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game *Life is Strange: Double Exposure* has unfortunately been labeled as a financial failure. During a recent briefing, the president of Square Enix disclosed this information while presenting the company's performance results. The financial losses incurred from *Double Exposure* were somewhat mitigated by the company's efforts to reduce development costs and the successful release of the *Dragon Quest 3* remake. However, Square Enix did not disclose the exact sales figures for *Life is Strange: Double Exposure*, which only further emphasizes its weak commercial performance.
The disappointing outcome of *Double Exposure* did not come as a surprise to many, particularly given the lukewarm response from long-time fans when the game was first announced. Despite high hopes that the project would resonate with the franchise's dedicated fanbase, the final product fell short of expectations. Interestingly, the end credits of the game included a message promising that "Max Caulfield will return," yet the future of this storyline now hangs in uncertainty due to the game's poor performance.
During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to provide further comments on the matter. The only information shared was that the performance of *Life is Strange: Double Exposure* was considered a "significant loss," a designation previously applied to other underperforming titles such as *Guardians of the Galaxy* and some entries in the *Tomb Raider* series. This development has sparked serious concerns about the future viability of the *Life is Strange* franchise.
