La série Life is Strange est probablement confrontée à la fermeture

Le récent rapport financier de Square Enix a révélé que la vie est étrange: une double exposition est considérablement sous-performée, entraînant une perte financière pour l'entreprise. Le président de Square Enix l'a confirmé lors d'un briefing décrivant les performances de l'entreprise, bien que des chiffres de vente spécifiques ne divulguent pas. Alors que les mesures de réduction des coûts et le remake réussi Dragon Quest 3 compensent partiellement les pertes, la faible performance commerciale de la double exposition est indéniable.

Ce résultat n'était pas entièrement inattendu, étant donné la réception tiède à l'annonce du jeu parmi les fans de longue date. Les premiers espoirs que le jeu résonnerait avec la base de fans s'est finalement révélé infondé. Bien que les crédits de fin du jeu aient taquiné le retour de Max Caulfield, l'avenir de la vie est une franchise étrange qui semble désormais incertaine.

Square Enix n'a fait aucun autre commentaire lors de la présentation du rapport financier. La caractérisation par la société des performances du jeu en tant que "perte importante" - un terme précédemment appliqué à des titres sous-performants comme Guardians of the Galaxy et quelques versements Tomb Raider - répond à de sérieuses préoccupations concernant les perspectives futures de la série.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
