New Life Is Strange Game Arrives Two Weeks Early If You Buy The Most Expensive Edition
The latest Life is Strange game, Double Exposure, was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase recently, and there is an important thing to know for people who want to play it as soon as possible.
The game’s most expensive edition, the Ultimate Edition ($80 USD), lets people play the first two chapters a full two weeks before officially launches on October 29. It’s not uncommon for more expensive editions of a game to unlock a few days early, or in the case of Call of Duty in recent years, a full week for the campaign. But Double Exposure offering up two-week early access is something new and unusual for a non-free-to-play game.
For a story-heavy series like Life is Strange, where twists and turns in the narrative are expected, it might be extra challenging for fans to have their experience remain unspoiled if they don’t want to pay extra. If there is a silver lining, it’s that only Chapters 1 and 2 are accessible early–Chapters 3 and beyond do not unlock until the full launch launches on October 29. (For what it’s worth, we don’t know exactly how many chapters Double Exposure has in total).
