Deck Nine Rocked By Toxic Workplace Allegations; A NEW Life Is Strange Is In The Works 😶 | StrangeCast Episode 68

Player 1 vs The World's new episode of StrangeCast is here. Well, let's talk Don't Nod Entertainment, Deck Nine, Square Enix and Life Is Strange. (You can probably tell by the tone of the introduction where we're headin' here...) For this episode of StrangeCast, we kick things off with a discussion about Don't Nod and the French-based developer and publisher's future, including seven titles in the works from the company. Our other news includes an update on Jusant winning at the 2024 Pegasus and Zoe Thorogood's Life Is Strange: Forget-Me-Not #2 officially dropping. Of course, our main topic is none other than the story that has rocked the Life Is Strange franchise to the core. Adnan and Adam candidly talk about the allegations hitting developer Deck Nine and publisher Square Enix's London-based division. From the Zak Garriss allegations to crunch culture allegations to a new Life Is Strange title being confirmed in the works, the StrangeCast hosts break down as much info as they can from IGN's in-depth investigation.
