It looks interesting! Check out the announcement trailer.

“The magical summer of 1995 is one of self-discovery and forging unbreakable bonds for high school friends Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat,” the marketing blurb explains. “27 years of no contact later, fate reunites them to confront the long-buried secret that made them promise to never speak again.”
I’m well up for this one. I really enjoyed living a wee nostalgic second youth in Life Is Strange (asPip and Italked about) and troubled adults revisiting that appeals to me now as a fully grown crone who absolutely wilts thinking about anything I did with my pals in 1995. Honestly, I feel a bit called-out to have Don’t Nod so expertly target games at me.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is due to launchon Steamin “late 2024.” It’ll also hit Xbox Xerix XS and PlayStation 5. Don’t Nod are also currently working on fighty fantasy RPGBanishers: Ghosts Of New Eden.
