Deck Nine announced today on Twitter that the official release date for Life is Strange: Remastered Collection has been delayed and will now release sometime next year.
In the tweet, Deck Nine explains that due to the ongoing challenges of the pandemic, they have decided to "alleviate any additional pressure" on the team and have decided to push back Life is Strange: Remastered Collection into 2022.
Originally, Life is Strange: Remastered Collection was supposed to launch on September 30 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Stadia with a Nintendo Switch port coming at a later date.

Deck Nine still confirmed that the next installment in the series, Life is Strange: True Colors, will still release on September 10 on all the platforms previously announced, and that a new trailer will release tomorrow.
Additionally, the game's post-launch content titled Wavelengths will release on September 30 as both a standalone release and as part of the Ultimate Edition for Life is Strange: True Colors. Life is Strange: Wavelengths DLC is set one year before the events of Life is Strange: True Colors and focuses on Steph Gingrich, a supporting character in the base game.
Life is Strange: Remastered Collection is a compilation of the original Life is Strange and its prequel, Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The game will feature improved animations with facial mo-cap performances, in addition to other graphical and visual enhancements.
