A MILESTONE EPISODE!
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. StrangeCast can be accessed on the following podcast services (among many others!) below.
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. StrangeCast can be accessed on the following podcast services (among many others!) below.
