We are back! Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast returns for the final episode of May 2024. We're here to bring our lovely listeners all of the latest discussions and news around Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix and, of course, Life Is Strange!

For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam revisit Life Is Strange 2 Episode 3: Wastelands to mark its five-year anniversary this month. The StrangeCast hosts also share their feelings on podcasting, interviewing people tied to the Life Is Strange series and more!

Our main topic is none other than a big focus on Life Is Strange publisher Square Enix after it laid off staff, its stock price took a tumble and it has now changed its overall business plan. But where does Life Is Strange fit into these plans? Has Square Enix lost all control of the direction of Life Is Strange? Let's talk... ☕️

For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam kick off things with a tease from developer Don’t Nod Montreal about Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.

Adnan and Adam share their post-feelings on the episode around the allegations against Deck Nine and Square Enix. Additionally, the main topic for this episode has the StrangeCast hosts discussing the reputation of the Life Is Strange franchise, Deck Nine and Square Enix going forward.

Player 1 vs The World's new episode of StrangeCast is here. Well, let's talk Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange. (You can probably tell by the tone of the introduction where we're headin' here...)

For this episode of StrangeCast, we kick things off with a discussion about Don't Nod and the French-based developer and publisher's future, including seven titles in the works from the company.

Our other news includes an update on Jusant winning at the 2024 Pegasus and Zoe Thorogood's Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not #2 officially dropping.

Of course, our main topic is none other than the story that has rocked the Life Is Strange franchise to the core. Adnan and Adam candidly talk about the allegations hitting developer Deck Nine and publisher Square Enix's London-based division.

From the Zak Garriss allegations to crunch culture allegations to a new Life Is Strange title being confirmed in the works, the StrangeCast hosts break down as much info as they can from IGN's in-depth investigation.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back for our first episode of March, with Adnan and Adam (who is 'being held against his will') talking all things Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and, of course, Square Enix’s Life Is Strange franchise.

For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam celebrate the sixth anniversary of Life Is Strange: Before the Storm’s much-beloved Farewell DLC episode.

The StrangeCast hosts also turn their attention to Jusant, which won Best Sound Design at the 2024 Pegasus. Additionally, Jusant received a nomination for New Intellectual Property at the BAFTA Games Awards.

Adnan and Adam also sit down to discuss the French union SJTV and its allegations against Don’t Nod over staff welfare, with the Life Is Strange developer also responding to the claims made.

Speaking of Don’t Nod, we also flag that Benoit Gisbert Mora has stepped down from his role as deputy general manager at the French-based developer and publisher.

Finally, our main topic is none other than the sad news that Life Is Strange: True Colors studio Deck Nine has been forced to lay off some of its staff amid a brutal period for developers in the gaming industry.

An all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is here! In our final episode of February 2024, we talk about all things Life Is Strange, Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Square Enix.

Just an FYI: we recorded this episode before the news of Deck Nine's layoffs! We'll cover that news in the next episode, but our hearts are with the people who were laid off. 🫶

For this episode of StrangeCast, we kick things off with a discussion about a sweet (pun very much intended) collaboration involving Square Enix and California-based tsun scoops around Life Is Strange.

We also received surprise updates for the iOS versions of Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, so Adnan and Adam talked about what was outlined in the patch notes (courtesy of the Life Is Strange subreddit!).

Our last piece of news is that Don't Nod's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is finally here, with the StrangeCast hosts delving into the review scores for the Focus Entertainment-published title.

For our main topic, we have an in-depth discussion about the music in the Life Is Strange franchise. Which Life Is Strange title has the best music? Which soundtracks come out on top for Adnan and Adam? Let's talk about the works of Jonathan Morelli (Syd Matters), Daughter and Angus & Julia Stone on the Life Is Strange series!

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back to talk all things Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and Life Is Strange! As Adnan and Adam wait for some Deck Nine news, StrangeCast shifts its full attention to Don't Nod Entertainment.

For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam sit down for an in-depth discussion around a big interview featuring Don't Nod Montreal's Luc Baghadoust, Frederique Fourny-Jennings and Michel Koch. We learn a lot more about Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, as well as some thoughts on Life Is Strange and more about the history of Don't Nod Montreal.

February marks Chris Eriksen's birthday, so Adnan and Adam decided to revisit none other than The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit for our main topic. Let's talk about Don't Nod's special work on this spin-off title produced ahead of Life Is Strange 2's release.

It's the first StrangeCast episode of 2024, so sit back and listen to all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine, Square Enix, Life Is Strange and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage on Player 1 vs The World.

Adnan and Adam kick things off with two news topics around Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not, including details on what has happened to Max Caulfield, Chloe Price and Rachel Amber in the comic series' universe.

Among our news topics is Macha Lopez talking about her former role as Don't Nod Montreal's lead narrative designer after Bloom & Rage's reveal.

Speaking of Don't Nod Montreal, studio creative director Michel Koch also shared some very interesting thoughts on Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange 2.

Our main topic, of course, focuses on none other than the announcement of Bloom & Rage at the 2023 Game Awards. Adnan and Adam take a deep dive into the trailer, as well as share new theories and what they expect to see from Don't Nod Montreal's title.

Here it is, Player 1 vs The World's final StrangeCast episode of 2023! Adnan and Adam sit down for the end-of-year podcast episode to talk all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange.

Episode 60 of StrangeCast was pre-recorded in late November, so Adnan and Adam decided to do a feature-long episode on their 2024 predictions around Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Life Is Strange.

Of course, the StrangeCast hosts weren't right on everything, especially after Don't Nod Montreal finally announced Lost Records: Bloom & Rage at the The Game Awards. 😅

As we recorded this episode well in advance, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage's reveal is not covered on StrangeCast's final episode of 2023. Fear not, though, as we will be talking about Bloom & Rage a LOT on the first episode of StrangeCast in 2024.

However, be sure to visit Player 1 vs The World's YouTube channel to watch Adnan's first thoughts on Bloom & Rage in a reaction video, as well as his second attempt at figuring out the identity of each character in Don't Nod Montreal's upcoming narrative adventure title.

Welcome back for an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's Life Is Strange fan-made podcast StrangeCast is back with a very special interview, featuring none other than Rachel Amber herself, Kylie Brown!

Unfortunately, Adam wasn't available for this episode, so Adnan is flying solo for this edition of StrangeCast. But Adnan was thrilled to sit down once again with Life Is Strange: Before the Storm star Kylie.

Kylie tweeted out in August asking fans what their favourite Rachel scene is, so Adnan wanted to find out from the Before the Storm actor what 'help' she needed from the Life Is Strange fandom.

Adnan also chats with Kylie about some of her favourite Rachel scenes, as well as her thoughts on AI in the industry and whether she considers herself as Gen Z, a millennial or a 'zillennial.'

Kylie also shares an update on her life, including where she is up to in the world of acting and her current work as a personal trainer.

Welcome back for an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a one-stop podcast destination for all things relating to Don't Nod, Deck Nine, Square Enix and, of course, Life Is Strange!

StrangeCast co-hosts Adnan and Adam kick things off with a discussion around Life Is Strange 1 and 2 co-director Michel Koch sharing his thoughts on unskippable cutscenes.

Speaking of Michel and Don't Nod, our other news topic for this episode comes from Don't Nod Montreal executive producer Luc Baghadoust, who showed off a Life Is Strange Easter egg in Lowbirth Games' This Bed We Made.

Lowbirth, a Montreal-based indie studio, dropped its Life Is Strange-inspired title this month, and Adnan has played through it in its entirety and offers his full thoughts on This Bed We Made.

Finally, our main topic has Adnan and Adam building a Mount Rushmore for Life Is Strange. No, the four faces aren't necessarily who are the best characters from the series, but rather our picks align more closely to the actual concept behind the real Mount Rushmore.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is BACK, and it's time for us to talk about all things Life Is Strange! We have news to cover around Deck Nine, Don't Nod and Square Enix, so without further ado, let's unpack the topics in this podcast episode!

Of course, Adnan and Adam kick things off with a conversation about the recently announced Life Is Strange: Heatwaves, a second novel from Square Enix and Titan. The StrangeCast hosts discuss author Brittney Morris' involvement on Heatwaves and what the novel could mean for the future of Alex Chen and Steph Gingrich.

Don't Nod's puzzle platformer Jusant has finally climbed its way onto PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, so Adam is here with his first thoughts on the new title from the French developer and publisher.

Moving away from Don't Nod, Adnan and Adam turn their attention to Deck Nine and share their thoughts on Chrisjen Avasarala's outing in The Expanse: A Telltale Series' Archangel bonus episode.

Finally, we close things out with our main topic segment, with Life Is Strange fan-favourite character Chloe Price placed under the spotlight for this particular conversation. For some people, Chloe is the best thing since sliced bread. For others, though, she's seen as a 'bad best friend' to Max Caulfield. So, where do Adnan and Adam stand on Chloe Price? Listen to find out!

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is finally back but with an all-new theme and logo! It's the same Life Is Strange fan-made podcast that everyone loves, but we felt it was in need of a fresh lick of paint.

A special thanks to our designer, Christine Forster, for the new logo, as well as StrangeCast co-host Adam Evalt for our incredible new theme song. 🔥

For this very special episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam are thrilled to welcome on the show none other than Deck Nine's very own Zachary Andrews! Zach served as performance director for Deck Nine on The Expanse: A Telltale Series.

Adnan and Adam ask Zach everything and anything on The Expanse, ranging from his work with director Stephan Frost to collaborating with BAFTA-nominated Life Is Strange: True Colors star Erika Mori on motion capture for the project.

Before the interview with Zach, however, Adnan and Adam talk about all things Life Is Strange. We kick things off with the reveal of new covers for Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not.

Our other news pieces focus on two anniversaries for Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Episode 2: Brave New World turned six years old and Episode 5: Polarized from Don't Nod's 2015 title turned eight years old.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back with this very, very special episode. We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming on the show none other than Deck Nine developer Stephan Frost.

Stephan is the director of The Expanse: A Telltale Series, as well as playing the likes of Tor and Anderson Dawes in the co-developed Deck Nine title.

But... before our wonderful StrangeCast interview with Frost, Adnan and Adam discuss two news pieces first.

The StrangeCast hosts discuss the news that Don't Nod and Focus Entertainment have pushed back the release date of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden into 2024.

Our other news piece is focused on none other than Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not, specifically a trailer that was dropped for the Titan Comics and Square Enix collaboration.

In our in-depth chat with Frost, The Expanse director opened up on Deck Nine's work on the Telltale Games-published title, as well as working with Life Is Strange: True Colors star Erika Mori and Camina Drummer herself, Cara Gee!

We also find out more about Frost's experience in the industry and how he ended up working at Deck Nine, while The Expanse director also teased what we can expect from the Archangel bonus episode.

Player 1 vs The World's​ ​StrangeCast is back, and Adnan and Adam are talking all things Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix, Life Is Strange and much more!

Adnan and Adam kick things off by turning their attention towards Don't Nod Montreal after a social media post from studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust. Luc confirmed that veteran Life Is Strange VO director Philip Bache has linked up with him and Michel Koch for Montreal's unannounced title.

Speaking of Michel, the Life Is Strange 1 and 2 co-director shared his thoughts on fan-favourite character Kate Marsh and what might have happened to her in the aftermath of one particular ending.

We have even more Don't Nod news to cover, with the French developer revealing the second third-party title it is publishing: Koira. A hand-drawn musical adventure title, Koira is developed by Belgium-based developer Studio Tolima.

The StrangeCast hosts close out our news segment by looking back on Life Is Strange 2 Episode 4: Faith on its fourth anniversary.

Our main topic is none other than our continued review segments for Telltale Games and Deck Nine's The Expanse, with Adnan and Adam sharing their verdicts on Episode 2: Hunting Grounds.

Player 1 vs The World's​ StrangeCast is back ahead of schedule for this VERY special episode. Life Is Strange is talked about here and there in this episode, but we're all about The Expanse: A Telltale Series on this occasion.

And we had the absolute pleasure to welcome on none other than BAFTA-nominated Life Is Strange: True Colors star Erika Mori, who provided additional mocap for Camina Drummer in Telltale and Deck Nine's The Expanse.

Erika, who is none other than Alex Chen herself in True Colors, talks to Adnan and Adam about her work on The Expanse, teaming up with Deck Nine again, meeting and collaborating with Cara Gee and much more!

Just an FYI: because we've pulled this StrangeCast episode ahead of time, we won't be dropping a new episode next week. We'll be returning to our 'normal' schedule from 29th August, which is when episode 52 of StrangeCast should drop. Until then, enjoy this episode with Erika! 💜

Adnan and Adam return in a brand-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast, with Life Is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine and Life Is Strange studio Don't Nod Entertainment dominating the news.

We kick things off with news directly from the Xbox Games Showcase after Don't Nod announced its new action-puzzle climbing title, Jusant.

Switching away from Jusant, Adnan and Adam keep it all things Don't Nod as they discuss the new footage of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden from the Summer Game Fest and the announcement of a collector's edition for the Focus Entertainment-published title.

The StrangeCast hosts also turn their attention towards Deck Nine, with developers from the studio speaking about the forthcoming The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Additionally, Adnan and Adam spotlight an interview with Cara Gee about her return as Camina Drummer for The Expanse title.

Following our news segment, Adam shares with Adnan his thoughts on Harmony: The Fall of Reverie so far. And our main topic for this show is celebrating Don't Nod's 15th anniversary, all the while asking what is next for the French developer in the next 15 years?

Adnan and Adam are back to talk all things Deck Nine, Don't Nod Entertainment, Square Enix and Life Is Strange in an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast.

We have a lot of news to cover in this episode, so we kick things off with the news that Deck Nine and Telltale Games have announced a release date for The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Additionally, Adnan and Adam have an in-depth chat about Deck Nine after the Life Is Strange: True Colors developer was hit with shock staff layoffs.

The StrangeCast hosts turn their attention towards Don't Nod Montreal, with studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust revealing that the studio is continuing its recruitment on its unannounced project. Speaking of Don't Nod, the French publisher and developer announced 'Liva's Story' DLC for Gerda: A Flame in Winter, which was developed by Bird Island (formerly PortaPlay) in 2022.

Finally, Adnan and Adam round off StrangeCast's news segment by celebrating the eight-year anniversary of Life Is Strange Episode 3: Chaos Theory.

Our main topic is all about GQ's divisive list of the 100 best titles of all time, compiled by the 'experts' that were consulted for the piece. Life Is Strange, unfortunately, did not make the cut, but Adnan and Adam ask if the 2015 critically acclaimed episodic title should be considered a 100 best titles of all time contender.

We've pushed back our Life Is Strange: Steph's Story review episode -- that's Adnan's fault, by the way -- so we've decided to visit a topic pitched by one of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast listeners, Jace!

Jace asked us to rank every Life Is Strange: Before the Storm episode, including Farewell, and every Life Is Strange: True Colors chapter, including Wavelengths. We covered Before the Storm on our last podcast outing, so now it feels right for Adnan and Adam to turn their attention towards Deck Nine's True Colors!

It's been pretty quiet on the news front when it comes to Square Enix, Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and Life Is Strange. So, with that said, there's no news segment for this episode. However, enjoy our feature-length main topic on True Colors -- and thanks again to Jace for the topic idea.

Adnan and Adam return in an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a one-stop podcast destination for all things Square Enix, Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine and, of course, Life Is Strange.

For this episode of StrangeCast -- and in our only news segment -- Adnan and Adam take a deep dive into Don't Nod's 'bold' 2023-2025 pipeline of releases, as well as the French developer and publisher 'ramping up' for its 'richest line-up' in history.

Ahead of our main topic, Adam offers his early impressions of Life Is Strange: Steph's Story, the prose novel from Rosiee Thor which has been brought to life in audiobook form by none other than Life Is Strange: Before the Storm and True Colors star Katy Bentz! We'll be doing a full review of Steph's Story, hopefully, before the end of the month, so stay tuned for that episode of StrangeCast.

Finally, Life Is Strange Episode 2: Out of Time's eight-year anniversary takes centre stage for the StrangeCast hosts' main segment for the episode. What did they like? What didn't they like? Has it aged well? Adnan and Adam look back on Episode 2: Out of Time following its anniversary in March.

Apologies for last week's delay for Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast. As we mentioned on some of our social feeds and here on YouTube (if you haven't already, be sure to follow us on social media and subscribe to us on YouTube!), we scrapped our previous episode due to technical issues. But anyway, we are back, and the episode turned out how we wanted it to this time (thankfully!).

So, without further ado, Adnan and Adam kick off this StrangeCast episode with our only news topic: the announcement that Deck Nine's Life Is Strange: True Colors and Don't Nod Entertainment's Life Is Strange 2 have both been added to the PlayStation Plus 'Extra and Premium' tiers for March.

Our main topic for the episode focuses on Adam and Adnan looking back at the latter's time in the gaming industry, specifically when he wrote about Square Enix's Life Is Strange series.

With that said, Adam offers his two cents on Adnan's Metacritic-approved reviews he wrote for Hardcore Gamer on Episode 3: Chaos Theory, Episode 4: Dark Room and Episode 5: Polarized, as well as the full season of 2015's Life Is Strange. The StrangeCast hosts also discuss Adnan's reviews for Episode 1: Roads, Episode 2: Rules, Episode 3: Wastelands and Episode 4: Faith, along with how he would have scored Episode 5: Wolves and Life Is Strange 2 as a whole had he reviewed them in 2019.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a Life Is Strange-focused podcast made by fans for fans, is back with an all-new episode. StrangeCast is a one-stop destination for all things relating to Life Is Strange publisher Square Enix and developers Deck Nine and Don't Nod Entertainment!

So, with the introduction all said and done, it's time to break down the details behind this episode! Adnan and Adam kick things off with Don't Nod sharing details on 'Project 12,' a brand-new large-scale action RPG that is expected to arrive "beyond 2025."

The StrangeCast hosts also discuss a report from Simply Wall Street that Don't Nod's shares could be '21 per cent below their intrinsic value estimate,' with Adnan asking Adam if he thinks the French developer and publisher could be a major player in the gaming industry in the future.

Our final piece of news focuses on new footage from Telltale Games and Deck Nine's The Expanse: A Telltale Series being shown at IGN Fan Fest 2023.

For the main topic, Adnan and Adam name their picks for Life Is Strange characters who should have had more on-screen time in the series. From Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange 2 to Life Is Strange: Before the Storm and Life Is Strange: True Colors, we take a deep dive into some of the memorable characters we've crossed paths with in the franchise.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast is back with the first part of a two-part special. That’s right, we’ve made the executive decision to split this episode into two separate episodes. We’ve taken inspiration from a cassette tape, so this is ‘Side A’ of episode 38. ‘Side B’ of the episode will drop one week today, which will feature a special interview with Life Is Strange fan musician Jonathan Panetta!

For this episode, Adnan and Adam kick things off with the news that The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit won’t be released on Nintendo Switch, despite Life Is Strange 2 arriving on the console. Speaking of Life Is Strange 2, it’s out now on Switch, and our StrangeCast hosts take a deep dive into what the reviewers have had to say about the port version.

Our main topic features an in-depth discussion from Adnan and Adam on Don't Nod’s newly announced Harmony: The Fall of Reverie.

StrangeCast, a Life Is Strange fan podcast focusing on all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Square Enix, is back with a focus on the bombshell news that the critically acclaimed Life Is Strange 2 is heading to Nintendo Switch.

Adnan and Adam also discuss the news of a new PlayStation patch for Life Is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered, as well as an intriguing comparison made between Forspoken and Life Is Strange when it comes to dialogue.

Our other news segments include the StrangeCast hosts celebrating the four-year anniversary of Life Is Strange 2 Episode 2: Rules and Katy Bentz giving an update on her audiobook work for Rosiee Thor's Steph's Story.

Finally, the main topic for this episode is none other than Adnan and Adam exploring the first look at the upcoming unannounced title from Don't Nod Montreal, the studio built up by Life Is Strange and Life Is Strange 2 producer Luc Baghadoust and co-director Michel Koch.

Adnan and Adam are back in a new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a one-stop destination for all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange.

We kick things off by discussing new details from Square Enix on Titan's Steph's Story.

We also discuss the reveal of Don't Nod's Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden at The Game Awards 2022, which will be published by Focus Entertainment.

The StrangeCast hosts switch focus on Deck Nine, who is recruiting for projects in development at the studio.

The Expanse director Stephan Frost confirmed that Erika Mori is featuring in Deck Nine and Telltale's upcoming title. Adnan and Adam talk about news that The Expanse is still on course for a 2023 release.

We break down news of Life Is Strange being a title that would fall under Russia's disgusting law on banning "LGBT propaganda."

Finally, we celebrate the anniversary of Episode 5: Wolves.

Our main topic has Adnan and Adam sharing theories on why Steph was chosen as the first Life Is Strange character to feature in a novel.

The internet's best-kept Life Is Strange secret is back with an all-new episode. That's right, this is the second episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast for the month of July!

For this episode of StrangeCast, Adnan and Adam cover a whole range of different news topics, from Michel Koch reacting to Mixtape to Lost Records: Bloom & Rage holding a brilliant community contest.

There is also a LOT of Life Is Strange: Double Exposure news to cover, including a Max and Chloe photo, how Max obtained her new powers and learning more about Safi and her mum.

Speaking of Safi, she is none other than our main topic. To be more specific, Adnan and Adam put on their detective caps and try to deduce who is the killer of Max's close friend at Caledon University.

Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast, a fan-made Life Is Strange podcast focusing on all things Don't Nod, Deck Nine and Square Enix, is back with an all-new episode.

Following on from our previous episode with former Square Enix designer Alejandro Arque Gallardo, Adnan and Adam switch their full focus to Life Is Strange: Before the Storm developer Deck Nine.

The StrangeCast hosts offer their thoughts on news outlets covering a lead programmer role at Deck Nine, with the Life Is Strange: True Colors studio looking for someone to work on "an unnamed AAA single-player adventure" title.

Has the next Life Is Strange entered production? Is Deck Nine once again at the helm of the franchise? Is the lead programmer role connected with a new Life Is Strange title? We talk about all of the aforementioned questions -- and much more -- in this episode of StrangeCast!

A COVID-19-ridden Adnan 🤧 and Adam return in an all-new episode of Player 1 vs The World's StrangeCast podcast, with Life Is Strange developer Don't Nod dominating the news agenda.

We kick things off with an update from Don't Nod Montreal studio executive producer Luc Baghadoust on our previous episode!

A very ill Adnan is carried through the news segment by Adam, with the StrangeCast duo taking a deep dive into Don't Nod's fiscal earnings for the first half of 2022 and some insight (sort of) into the French publisher's stock market value.

As part of Don't Nod's earnings, we also have confirmation that the studio will release eight titles between 2023 and 2025, which includes five of its self-published titles.

Adnan and Adam talk about the release of the Life Is Strange: Coloring Book, while the duo also spotlight Don't Nod's partnership with War Child for PortaPlay's Gerda: A Flame in Winter.

We round off our news-heavy segment with Adnan and Adam celebrating the SEVENTH anniversary of Life Is Strange Episode 5: Polarized!

Finally, Adnan made Life Is Strange 2 naysayer Adam replay Sean and Daniel Diaz's epic story a while back. So, has Adam changed his mind about Life Is Strange 2? 🐺 It's time to find out!
