On August 11, the Life is Strange team announced that while True Colors would still be hitting its September 10 release date, the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection -a remastered bundle of the first Life is Strange game and Life is Strange: Before the Storm- would be delayed until sometime in early 2022. Now on September 24, Square Enix has announced in a press release that the Remastered Collection is coming out February 1, 2022.
The Life is Strange: Remastered Collection was originally scheduled to drop later this month, following up the release of Life is Strange: True Colors. But the LiS team ultimately decided to delay the Remastered Collection to alleviate the amount of work on the team while they were still launching a brand new game.
"Due to the ongoing challenges of the worldwide pandemic, we want to alleviate any additional pressure on the Life is Strange team by giving more time between between the release of Life is Strange: True Colors and the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection," the Life is Strange team said in their statement on Twitter. "For this reason we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of the Life is Strange: Remastered Collection for all platforms - PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia, and Switch - until early 2022."
The release schedule seems to have solidified now, as Square Enix has committed to the February 1, 2022 date. Hopefully that will be enough time for the team to finish things up at a healthier pace.
