Don’t Nod has delayed the second part of its upcoming episodic game Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.
Previously scheduled to launch on March 18, 2025, Part Two (Rage) will now be released on April 15.
“We want to give the team the necessary time to refine the experience, address more bugs, and enhance the storytelling for a truly immersive continuation of the journey,” Don’t Nod said.
“We feel that this extra time is necessary to ensure we deliver the experience players and fans deserve. We are confident that this delay will allow us to provide you with a richer experience and we can’t wait for you to live the full journey of Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat.”
The title is the first game to be developed by Don’t Nod Montreal, a studio made up of the original creative team behind Life is Strange.
It’s billed as a single-player narrative adventure “set over two timelines, following four high school girls who form lasting friendships over the summer, only to face a mysterious event that will change them forever”.
Exploring themes of identity, rebellion and friendship, it will offer roughly 10-12 hours of gameplay in total.
Part 2’s delay was announced on Wednesday alongside other launch details, including pricing for the PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 game.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage will cost $39.99/£35.89/€39.99 upon release, with players able to benefit from a launch discount of 10%.
Part 2 will become available as a free downloadable update when it’s available. A physical PS5 edition will also be released in the summer of 2025.
Don’t Nod announced last October that up to 69 jobs were at risk from a proposed restructuring of French developer and publisher, which also previously developed Remember Me, Tell Me Why and Jusant.
