Life Is Strange Dev Working On New IP With Bandai Namco
Life is Strange developer, Dontnod Entertainment, is partnering with publisher/developer Bandai Namco for a new IP to be officially announced in 2018, according to MCV.
The game, set in a fictional city in the U.S. involves a "fair dose of investigation," according to Bandai Namco.
For more on the publisher's thoughts on the collaboration, head over to the full story in the source link below.
Meanwhile, Dontnod is also working on Life is Strange 2. As for prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm, that's a different developer (Deck Nine), but you can still get our Gamescom impressions here.

Our Take
The project seems to be centered on exploring the psychology of its characters, but I'm interested to find out if its gameplay mechanics or even the way gamers move around the world is any different than what we've become used to in Life is Strange. Either way, I'm excited for the endeavor.
