The static crackled, then a voice: “Max, is that you?” A chill snaked down my spine. It had been years since Arcadia Bay, but some bonds never break, especially when they offer bonus content. Life is Strange Reunion is coming, and pre-ordering might just be the rewind you need.
Decisions, Decisions: Exploring Life is Strange Reunion Editions
I remember standing in line for what felt like forever to snag a concert ticket; that anticipation buzz is real. Securing your copy of Life is Strange Reunion before launch (March 26th) is similar, except you get a digital reward. Pre-ordering any edition before May 5, 2026, 10 AM UTC, gets you the Max and Chloe classic outfit DLC.
Think of the different editions as levels of fandom. Each one offers something a little different, from the base game to soundtracks and artbooks. The Max and Chloe outfits are a sweet throwback.
