@ Blue Pumpkin Pie: The series was originally capitalized as Life Is Strange. However, the "i" was decapitalized with the release of Before the Storm. This spelling is not in line with MOS:TITLECAPS, so it was not adopted for this and consistent titling reasons. As notable sources use the decapitalized spelling, I added it as "stylized as" to the lead.
I ask you detail your argument more thoroughly than "thats not really a style." Regards IgelRM ( talk) 08:41, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@ Samuel Wiki: Allow me to expand why I believe "new Life Is Strange game is currently being developed" is un-encyclopedic, but I don't feel like fighting over this. Quoting from the IGN report: "This leaves those remaining at Deck Nine once again reliant on Life Is Strange. [...] For better or worse, Deck Nine has become the steward of Life Is Strange, and their fates are inextricably linked."
I assume this is the origin as it might imply a new series game to be released. But staff doesn't get paid for nothing so to speak, so it would be more of a headline if they would not try to develop a new game. Moreover, the report is meant to be about the studio culture and would be assumed to be most reliable in that area, so picking the paragraph to confirm a game feels sensationalist. Generally the publisher would need to give a complete "green light" at the end of development and previous sentence in the future section ends with the "transfer" of the series to Deck Nine, which I might understand as trying to develop more games in the series (personally even that sentence feels off).

Using only the references from this article, I noted the case usage of some sources deemed reliable:
While I know we don't typically rely on primary sources, I do think it's relevant to share that the publisher,
Square Enix, also
uses lowercase on their website. Per
MOS:CAPS: Wikipedia relies on sources to determine what is conventionally capitalized; only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia.
Sources for usage of "Is" vs "is" are mixed, including from a large number of reliable sources that are cited in each of these articles. Proposing to consistently downcase to "is", based on
MOS:CAPS.
