    Don't Nod might not have enough cash to make it through January 2027, and even if it does, pulling up could 'involve the reduction of up to 90 positions'

    Don't Nod, best known as the developers of Life is Strange 1 and 2, has been having a rough go of it, lately. In 2024, its games Jusant and Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden sold "well below expectations" , causing it to pause development of two further games. Then, in 2025, it laid

    Life is Strange developer Don't Nod look primed for layoffs, as the studio announces a "transformation initiative"

    It is unfortunately that time of day again (because this truly does seem to be a daily occurrence at this point). Back in June, things weren't looking so hot for Life is Strange studio Don't Nod, as it appeared that they'd be out of cash come this November . Now, it looks like th

    Life is Strange creator Don't Nod look to be in hot water as a financial report says they'll be out of cash by November

    It's not a good week to be in the games industry (again). As Xbox reportedly prepare to either shutter or spin off Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Compulsion, Don't Nod, original developer of the Life is Strange series, look to be in hot water of their own. As it currently stands,

    Life is Strange's soundtrack is full of licensed bangers, and still hits even 11 years later

    With Life is Strange: Reunion recently wrapping up the decade-long story of Max Caulfield and Chloe Price, I've spent the last couple of weeks thinking a lot about the game that started it all. 2015's Life is Strange came during a hugely formative time in my life—going through so

    Europe's PEGI game rating website leaks a new Life is Strange game, and it sure sounds like Max and Chloe are getting back together

    It looks like a new Life is Strange game is cooking at Square Enix, and you can thank the European game rating agency PEGI for letting us all know. As noticed by Rock, Paper, Shotgun , PEGI has posted a rating for a game called Life is Strange: Reunion, and even given us an outli

    Whoops, looks like PEGI accidentally revealed that a new Life is Strange is on the way

    If there were ever a dead horse that didn't need so much flogging, it might be the Life is Strange series. Undeniably beloved by many, it has fallen victim to that whole franchising thing, having received an entry only in 2024 via Life is Strange: Double Exposure , a sequel game

    Life is Strange co-creator says 'nothing justifies' the vitriol the series' current devs are getting while allowing that 'we would not have written things the same way'

    Life is Strange co-creator and Don't Nod creative director Michel Koch has taken to X, "The Everything App" to call for civility from Life is Strange fans upset with the series' current developer, Deck Nine. Though Deck Nine has been developing new Life is Strange games for some

    Eight years on, the original Life is Strange hits 20 million players

    Life Is Strange first released around eight years ago, and as of this week, the original game has hit 20 million players. While the narrative adventure game remains a touch divisive due to its occasionally out-of-touch dialogue to this day, it's pretty hard to deny that Life Is S

    Life is Strange developer Don't Nod has teased a new game that looks very 90s

    Don't Nod , the original developer behind the Life is Strange series, has shown off a small teaser image for its next game. It looks like Don't Nod has a few eggs in its basket at the moment, as the developer shared an image of one of its next projects on Twitter last week. The i

    The live-action Life is Strange adaptation is somehow still in production

    Remember back in 2016, when Square Enix announced a live-action adaptation of supernatural teen drama Life is Strange? We'd heard little on the project since, but producer Legendary has provided a handy reminder that the show does still exist with the appointment of a new executi
