Life is Strange Double Exposure is set to see Max Caulfield make a comeback back in a new adventure after 10 years. In an interview with GamesRadar+, developer Deck Nine spoke on the pressure and challenges the team faced when it came to bringing back a beloved character in a "different life stage". 

"[The portrayal of Max] definitely something we thought about a lot," writer Aysha Farah says, "because whenever there is a big gap in time between things coming out, everybody now has the Max in their heads that we have to compete with. So I think having the distance helped too, because getting to know her in a different life stage, and she's a different sort of person. But yeah, we definitely did have to talk a lot about how we're gonna evolve her. What has she been doing in the meantime? What sort of personality would she grow into? What does she still do that's the same from the first game? We talked about it a lot."
