Life is Strange: Remastered Collection delayed again on Switch

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection, which gathers together fancied-up versions of the original Life is Strange and its prequel Before the Storm, has been delayed for a second time on Switch and is now expected to arrive “later this year”.

The Remastered Collection was originally due to launch last September, a mere two weeks after the arrival of the series’ latest entry Life is Strange: True Colors, but publisher Square Enix ultimately made the decision to postpone its release into 2022, citing “the ongoing challenges of the worldwide pandemic”.

Square eventually announced a revised 1st February release date for the Remastered Collection on all platforms – Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Stadia – but with just weeks to go until that date is finally upon us, the publisher has swooped in with more bad news for Switch players.

“The collection will still be hitting Google Stadia, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on February 1st as previously announced,” it wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “However, we are sorry to share that the Nintendo Switch versions of the games have been a little set back and will need a bit more time until they are ready, so will be releasing later this year.”
