The final episode of Life is Strange – Polarized – is expected to be released on October 20. That is, so long as the game is 100 percent ready by then.

In a blog post on the Square Enix website, Dontnod explained the slight caveat.“We don’t normally announce a date until we know the game is 100% ready but in the spirit of Max’s birthday (today) we wanted to let you know early that we are aiming to release Episode 5 ‘Polarized’ October 20,” writes producer Luc Baghadoust.Episodes 3 and 4 of Life is Strange were huge game-changers, and episode 5 has high expectations going into it. In our review of episode 4 we said “Dark Room is the most complicated, conflicting episode of Life Is Strange yet. It sets up a finale that could be a genuine stunner, but there’s a lot resting on its shoulders.”Should the release date change, we’ll be sure to let you know.
