Curate your own playlist of hits
The next installment ofLife is Strangearrives next month, but there’s a little extraTrue Colorscontent coming after that. Today, we got our first look at theWavelengthsDLC, an extra episode of sorts forLife is Strange: True Colors.
The story is a prequel, set in the small town of Haven Springs whereTrue Colorswill take place. Rather thanTrue Colorsprotagonist Alex Chen, you play as Steph Gingrich, theBefore the Stormcharacter who’s also appearing in the upcomingTrue Colors.
As Steph, you get to start out your first day on the job at KRCT and play through the seasons, following her growth in managing the only local radio station and record store. Just pick your playlist, talk to callers, and jam out. It looks like some of Steph’s penchant for tabletop role-playing is back too, if the D20 and backroom setup are any indication.

Of course, running the cool local radio station also means playing good music. And it looks like theWavelengthsDLC has some hits lined up. The lineup shown in the trailer includes:
There’s a note that there’s “many more” in store, but honestly, I’m already happy with some Sigur Ros getting a spot. WhileLife is Strangehas a penchant for tackling the supernatural, I’m really interested in what looks like a chill experience about running your own radio station, and also the ambient life atmosphere I enjoy fromLife is Strange. It’s like a small-town story and college radio sim mashed-up into one game.
WavelengthsDLC will arrive on Sept. 30, and you will needLife is Strange: True Colorsto play it,according to the trailer. The dev team also announced yesterday that theLife is Strange: Remastered Collectionhas been delayed to early next year, so the studio can alleviate some pressure brought on by development amid the pandemic.
Life is Strange: True Colorswill launch on Sept. 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Stadia. The team also announced that the Switch version ofTrue Colorswon’t launch on that date, but they are aiming to release it this year.
