Twin Mirror from Life is Strange Dev Gets Release Date

The newest narrative adventure from beloved Life is Strange developer Dontnod, Twin Mirror, has finally received a release date. Unlike Dontnod’s recent narrative-driven adventure games Twin Mirror will not be released episodically, but will instead launch as a full retail release on December 1st, 2020. The game was initially announced in June 2018 with an intended release window of later the same year, but following this the game disappeared until it was announced in June 2019 that the game would release in 2020.

This announcement follows the release of Dontnod’s Xbox One exclusive episodic game Tell Me Why, which had weekly episodes from August 27th to September 10th on Xbox Game Pass. It seems Dontnod is hoping to keep excitement surrounding its unique style of storytelling stirring coming up to the launch of Twin Mirror, which is the studio’s first collaboration with publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game is also being made in partnership with Shibuya Productions, one of the companies behind Shenmue 3.

While Dontnod has claimed that Twin Mirror does not feature any of the supernatural elements found in its previous narrative titles such as the first two Life is Strange games and Tell Me Why, the game’s trailer gives off the impression that something suspicious is taking place in southern West Virginia. Twin Mirror is a psychological thriller set in a small town, centered around protagonist Sam Higgs. Higgs is an investigative journalist returning to his childhood town to attend his best friend’s funeral.The game’s description reads “In this psychological thriller, main character Sam Higgs returns to his childhood town for his best friend’s funeral. Soon he begins unraveling some of the mysterious events surrounding the town in his absence.”

Twin Mirror is based around the concept of duality, which enables players to access Sam’s “Mind Palace” to solve puzzles and gather clues. The game features detective scenarios similar to games such as Batman: Arkham Origins and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 in which the player must discover how a crime occurred by rewinding time and reviewing all of the environment’s details.

The game’s trailer implies that it derives its aesthetic and setting from the likes of Twin Peaks and the works of Stephen King, much like games like Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake and Access Games’ Deadly Premonition, which the game bears a striking resemblance to. Given Dontnod’s track-record, it’s safe to assume that the developer will likely deliver an engaging narrative with many possible outcomes and choices to make.

Twin Mirror launches for PC (via the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on December 1st 2020.
