A lot of folks (myself included) have been wondering when Life is Strange: True Colors would release on Nintendo Switch. I’ve been waiting for some time, and have carefully avoided any spoilers so that I could enjoy the game in full when it is released. Now, Square Enix has given information on the release dates for both the digital and physical releases of the game.

The Nintendo Switch version of Life is Strange: True Colors will release digitally on December 7^th, 2021. Physically, the game will release a little later, on February 25th, 2022. This is the premise of the game, according to the press release:

“When her brother dies in a suspicious accident, Alex Chen must embrace her volatile psychic power of Empathy to uncover the secrets that keep the truth at bay. Alex’s journey, power, and future are all fully under the player’s control.”

Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios, commented on the impending release, stating: “We’re incredibly excited to finally offer a Life is Strange experience on the Nintendo Switch, enabling players to enjoy Life is Strange: True Colors at home or on the go. This is the most advanced game in the series, so it was important for us to maintain a high standard of visual quality, performance, and optimization when bringing the game to a new platform. We’re delighted with how the Switch version turned out and we can’t wait to expand our wonderful community of players even more with this release.”

The press release also details the difference between the Switch version and other versions, stating: “The Switch edition of Life is Strange: True Colors was developed specifically for the Nintendo platform. The development team were committed to creating the best possible native experience by optimizing visuals and performance. This involved many technical changes to the game which included, reworking every character model, environmental object, and all foliage across the game, as well as completely rebuilding the lighting engine.”

I’m very excited to play Life is Strange: True Colors. We don’t have much longer to wait, and I’m excited to be able to play it on my TV or on the go. I’ve heard good things about Alex Chen’s adventure, so I’ll just have to be content with waiting a little longer.
