Don't Nod revealed the release date and pricing for the start of their next narrative adventure, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage. The first part that they call Tape 1 (Bloom) will be available starting on February 18, 2025.
The second episode, Tape 2 (Rage), will be available on April 15, 2025. This is a delay of about four weeks from its initially planned release date. Don't Nod says that they need this time to "allow for additional optimization and to give the team the necessary time to refine the experience for players and enhance the storytelling for a truly immersive continuation of the journey."
The studio says that there will be "some fun and interactive activities on social media to keep them entertained in the time between the two Tapes." These activities will let fans dive deeper into the world of Lost Records and share experiences with other members of the community.
Don't Nod will sell Lost Records: Bloom & Rage for $39.99 at release. This price includes access to both parts of the game, which comes to "roughly 10-12 hours of gameplay." There will be a launch discount of 10% for a limited time at the release of the first game.
