Publishing powerhouse Square Enix has announced a new, upcoming iteration of its own video presentation series, Square Enix Presents, for this March 18 (March 19 for those of us in Australia).
In the announcement, Square Enix details what fans can expect to see in the presentation. While the lack of any mention of Final Fantasy will be an (entirely unsurprising) upset to some, there’s some exciting stuff on the table. Most notably, a new Life is Strange is apparently in the works and set to be revealed during the Presents.
The Life is Strange Twitter account shared the event post, along with the reveal that this next game will be another brand new cast of characters and powers:
NEW CAST. NEW POWER. NEW STORY.

The announcement calls out a few other properties set to make an appearance, such as Outriders, Marvel’s Avengers, Just Cause Mobile and Balan Wonderland, plus a certain 25th anniversary of Tomb Raider slow which likely will contain the recent rumoured/leaked trilogy release.
Some mysterious new Square Enix Montreal games (yep, plural) are also set to be unveiled at the event, which is set to kick off on March 18 at 5PM GMT time. That translates to the below timeslots for Aussies:
Melbourne/Sydney/Canberra/Hobart: 4AM, Friday March 19
Perth: 1AM, Friday March 19
Darwin: 2.30AM, Friday March 19
Brisbane: 3AM, Friday March 19

As always we’ll endeavour to bring you coverage as the presentation goes live, or soon after.
