Deck Nine Games, which developed Life is Strange: Before the Storm for Square Enix, has announced that it is continuing its external development partnership with the company.

"The partnership with Deck Nine has been a huge success," said Square Enix External Studios head of studio Lee Singleton said in a press release. "The opportunity to work with Deck Nine on another game was an easy decision, although we're keeping the project details under wraps for now."

That's great. After the amazing job they did with Before the Storm which wasn't even their own IP, I'm definitely curious about what they will do with their own brainchild.

Maybe this is another LiS game? Wouldn't surprise me if it's another game set in Arcadia Bay, or a spin-off of season 2. Either way, I'm there.

Huh, that part of SE Europe is actually doing well.

Interesting! I liked what they achieved with Before the Storm despite the creative limitations it set on Deck Nine by being a prequel to an established game. They did some very fresh and cool things and I'll keep an eye out on whatever they're cooking up next

BtS was so good, they deserve more projects.

Life Is Strange 2 spin-off? Original game? I'm down for whatever it is.

I wish Deck Nine and Deck13 would merge.

Since the premise of LiS2 was kinda disappointing for me, I hope they're able to do something similar to BtS.

 

[BadWolf]

Great to hear, BTS is excellent.

I liked BtS much more than I thought I would, so I'm looking forward to their next game, whatever it is.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Really enjoyed BtS. In for whatever they're working on

 

[Rygar1126]

As much as I enjoyed BtS and would welcome more in that universe, I kind of hope they are doing their own thing this time. Maybe something that doesn't have a terrible third act

Loved BtS. I'll take another Arcadia Bay game from them or an original IP, definitely.
