DON’T NOD delays upcoming game due to Life is Strange

DON’T NOD is perhaps best known for creating the Life is Strange series. That said, the team have since moved on, instead working on new IPs while present and future LiS titles are handled by Deck Nine. In an interesting situation, DON’T NOD have now delayed their next game to 2025 due to the clashing release of the upcoming Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

Making the announcement via a press release, the French company stated the following:

“DON'T NOD, an independent studio that creates, develops, and publishes video games, today announces a new release window of the highly anticipated narrative adventure Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, from the creative minds behind Life is Strange. Originally scheduled for release in late 2024, this new IP will now be available early 2025.”

Going more in-depth as to why the game has been delayed, Oskar Guilbert – CEO at DON'T NOD – put it pretty plainly:

“We know that many of our fans are eagerly awaiting this game, just as they are the recently announced next installment of Life is Strange. Let's give both titles the space they need to be enjoyed by our players within the large community we have built.”

Given the history DON'T NOD have with the Life is Strange games, it is a nice gesture to see their own upcoming game being pushed back to allow fans the time and space to return to the world of Life is Strange.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
