According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game Life is Strange: Double Exposure has unfortunately been a financial disappointment for the company. This was highlighted by the president of Square Enix during a recent briefing where he discussed the company's performance outcomes. The financial setback from Double Exposure was somewhat mitigated by the company's efforts to cut development costs and the strong sales of the Dragon Quest 3 remake. However, Square Enix did not disclose the precise sales numbers for Life is Strange: Double Exposure, which only underscores its lackluster commercial success.

The underwhelming performance of Double Exposure did not come as a shock to many, especially given the lukewarm response from the franchise's dedicated fanbase following the game's announcement. Despite high hopes that the game would resonate with fans, the final product fell short of expectations. The end credits of the game included a message teasing that "Max Caulfield will return," yet given the game's reception, the likelihood of continuing her story appears increasingly uncertain.

During the financial report presentation, Square Enix remained tight-lipped about Life is Strange: Double Exposure. The only information released was that the game's performance was described as a "significant loss," a label the company has previously applied to titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy and some entries in the Tomb Raider series, which also underperformed. This classification raises serious concerns about the future viability of the Life is Strange franchise.
