According to the latest financial report from Square Enix, the game *Life is Strange: Double Exposure* has proven to be 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. The financial losses incurred from *Double Exposure* were mitigated to some extent by cost-cutting measures in development and the successful launch of the *Dragon Quest 3* remake. However, the specific sales numbers for *Life is Strange: Double Exposure* have not been disclosed, underscoring its poor commercial performance.
The underwhelming reception did not come as a shock to many, particularly given the lukewarm response from the franchise's dedicated fanbase upon the game's announcement. Despite high hopes that *Double Exposure* would fulfill fans' expectations, the final product fell short. The game's end credits included a message hinting at a future installment with "Max Caulfield will return", yet the likelihood of continuing the narrative now appears slim.
During the financial report presentation, Square Enix chose not to elaborate further. It is known, however, that the company has categorized the game's performance as a "significant loss", a designation previously applied to games like *Guardians of the Galaxy* and certain *Tomb Raider* entries that also failed to meet financial targets. This classification casts serious uncertainty over the future of the *Life is Strange* franchise.
