DON’T NOD, the French studio famous for the award-winning Life is Strange, is back with a new narrative adventure called Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.
The game, scheduled for release in late 2024 on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, promises to be an exciting journey through time. Get ready to intertwine past and present in an adventure full of difficult choices, twists and turns, and moments of deep introspection.
The Legacy of Life is Strange
Life is Strange’s success skyrocketed DON’T NOD to video game fame. Their French team gained massive popularity and critical praise. Max and Chloe’s adventure captivated players with its atmosphere, characters, twisty plot, and time travel mechanics.
Despite Life is Strange’s success, DON’T NOD’s later games fell short. Vampyr and Tell Me Why, though appreciated by some, lacked the same media and commercial impact.

Get ready to time travel in late 2024 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5!
