Nevertheless, the user's information turned out to be overwhelmingly legit. In reality, the game eschewed the Life Is Strange franchise's episodic release model altogether. Mind you, some of the information in the ResetEra post turned out to be false, namely the claim that True Colors would consist of five episodes.

The game, which indeed uses Unreal Engine 4, follows main protagonist Alex Chen, a young woman of an Asian-American background. Sure enough, in March 2021 - one month after the forum post went live - Deck Nine and Square Enix officially announced Life Is Strange: True Colors, the franchise's third main-series entry. They also claimed that True Colors would focus on an Asian-American woman named Alex, who could see colors representing people's emotions. They explained that unlike Before the Storm, which used the Unity engine, True Colors would use Unreal Engine 4. In their original post, the ResetEra user claimed that Deck Nine - developer of the 2017 spinoff game Life Is Strange: Before the Storm - was developing Life Is Strange 3, which would be titled Life Is Strange: True Colors.

In February 2021, a user on the ResetEra forums claimed to have insider knowledge on Life Is Strange 3 and 4. The reason this is worth talking about, despite the dubious source, is that it's not the first time there have been rumors of a fourth main-series Life Is Strange game featuring Max and Chloe. Similar Life Is Strange Rumors Have Surfaced Before Life Is Strange 4 is also said to carry over the player's decisions from the first Life Is Strange, meaning that Chloe Price - Max's best friend and potential love interest - will make an appearance if players opted to keep her alive.

Furthermore, her time-manipulation abilities 'have been upgraded so she can travel to alternate realities and use that to solve mysteries.' As commenters have pointed out, this progression would be consistent with the way Max's powers are depicted in the Life Is Strange comic books. Supposedly, the new game follows an adult version of Max, who has gone on to become a professor at an art school.
