Actors Rhianna DeVries and Hannah Telle discuss concluding the Max and Chloe story. Fans thought they had said goodbye to Max and Chloe after the original game and its prequel. However, in “Life is Strange: Reunion,” Chloe surprisingly returns after Max’s unexpected appearance in “Double Exposure.” Rhianna DeVries, the voice of Chloe, was shocked by the 2023 audition callback after assuming Chloe’s story was over. The new game challenges previous player decisions, with Chloe defying death.
Despite initial fan skepticism, “Reunion” unfolds as a well-crafted continuation of the narrative, resonating with fans who felt connected to Chloe’s journey through online discussions. Hannah Telle, the voice of Max, emphasizes the importance of approaching the project with care. As DeVries reprises their role at 28, they relate to Chloe’s experience of navigating different timelines, following their life-changing car accident.
“Reunion” maintains the authenticity of “Life is Strange,” with Max and Chloe’s intertwining storylines written convincingly. Telle also returns, performing Max’s motion capture despite personal challenges, diagnosed with scoliosis post-shooting. Both actors reflect on the profound impact of their roles and the story’s conclusion, feeling grateful for the journey with these beloved characters.
