Thrilled to officially welcome the latest cast members joining 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘 as we continue bringing Arcadia Bay to life.

For longtime fans, these aren’t just supporting characters.

They’re the friends, rivals, crushes, outcasts, mentors, and complicated souls who helped make Life Is Strange a cultural touchstone in the first place.

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻. 𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮. 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹. 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻. 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗲.

Every one of them left a lasting mark on players around the world, helping shape a story that continues to resonate more than a decade later.

Together with 𝗠𝗮𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗲, they form the beating heart of Arcadia Bay — a place filled with friendship, mystery, heartbreak, impossible choices, and the butterfly effects that connect them all.

Continued thanks to our incredible partners at , Primevideo, Square Enix, and Luckychap, and to the passionate global fan community that has carried this franchise for years.

𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗧𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 🚨

We’re thrilled to announce that visionary BAFTA Award Winning filmmaker Jeymes Samuel (𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚) has signed on to direct Lionsgate’s adaptation of SEGA's legendary beat-’em-up franchise.

For generations of players, 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙖𝙜𝙚 wasn’t just a game. It was late nights, co-op chaos, unforgettable bosses, iconic characters, and one of the most iconic soundtracks in gaming history.

In fact, co-founder has been on the record for years calling 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙖𝙜𝙚 the greatest videogame soundtrack ever created — a bold claim, sure, but one that millions of players who grew up with Yuzo Koshiro’s groundbreaking music would probably agree with.

Which is exactly why Jeymes Samuel felt like such a perfect fit.

His ability to fuse unforgettable visuals, emotion, action, and music into a singular cinematic experience makes him uniquely suited to bring 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙖𝙜𝙚 to life for both longtime fans and an entirely new audience.

And with our incredible partners at SEGA, Lionsgate, and Escape Artists Entertainment, plus Pat Casey and Josh Miller — the writers behind the billion-dollar 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙜 film franchise — crafting the screenplay, we couldn’t be more excited about what’s coming next.

The streets are calling.

The next generation of global franchises may not start in Hollywood anymore. They may start inside games. 🎮

’s and were honored to participate in the inaugural — one of the first major gatherings dedicated entirely to the future of UGC, , and creator-driven worlds.

A special thank you as well to John Gaudiosi () for moderating our panel and helping guide such a thoughtful conversation around where storytelling, community, and interactive entertainment are all heading.

As audiences spend more and more time inside interactive platforms, the lines between players, creators, communities, and entertainment continue to disappear.

The next wave of storytelling will be built differently.

More collaborative.
More immersive.
More community-driven.

And the creators building inside these ecosystems today aren’t just making games.

They’re building the next generation of global entertainment franchises.

Thank you to the entire WorldBuilder team for bringing together such an incredible group of builders, creators, and forward-thinkers.

The future isn’t coming.
It already logged in.

The future of storytelling isn’t theoretical anymore—it’s being built in rooms like iicon.

Huge thank you to the team for including in your inaugural event last week. You brought together exactly the right mix of voices across games, film, and tech—and it showed.

Shoutout to Tasha Huo () for bringing real writer/creator/showrunner🔥 to the stage, and to John Gaudiosi () for somehow keeping the wild animals pointed in the same direction.

One thing came through loud and clear:

The pipeline isn’t coming.

It’s already here.

And it’s only accelerating.
