A teenage boy has been missing for two weeks after allegedly rushing from his Long Island, New York prep school into Manhattan to meet someone he met on Roblox, according to a statement from the boy's family.

Thomas Medlin left the Stony Brook School on Friday, January 9, at around 3:30 PM ET to reportedly catch a train from the Long Island Rail Road station to Grand Central, where surveillance footage spotted him at about 5:30 PM ET. In an interview with Long Island news outlet News 12, his mother, Eva Yan, said this is uncharacteristic of her son, who excels in school.

"He has never left us," Yan said. "Everyone loves him. With the weather coming [in] cold, you know, we have checked the homeless shelter, looking for the locations."

Ashly Burch, the actor who voiced Chloe Price in the original Life Is Strange, has confirmed that she wasn't approached to reprise her role for Life Is Strange: Reunion.

Last week, developer Deck Nine and Square Enix announced the next game in its long-running Life Is Strange series: Life Is Strange: Reunion. Like with the most recent title, Life Is Strange: Double Exposure, Reunion will once again star Max Caulfield, and this time, she'll be joined by Chloe Price.

Reunion is expected to be the finale in the pair's decade-plus story, and Chloe, who hasn't been featured in the series since Life is Strange's 2017 prequel, Before the Storm, will be a playable character alongside Max.

While Xbox games landing on competing platforms is becoming a regular and unsurprising phenomenon, the actual release dates for these other versions aren't so consistent. Speaking in an interview, Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan chalked these variabilities up to development resources.

Speaking to GamesRadar, Duncan addressed the difference between Forza Horizon 6 and the upcoming Fable reboot; both titles are from Playground Games, though Forza is releasing on PS5 after the Xbox launch, while Fable will be on both platforms day-and-date.

"There's always development realities about when these projects start--how big a team is, and what plans we have at the start of development," Duncan said; he also admitted that the Xbox team is somewhat "inconsistent" with its release strategy. "You see some games in one place, some games in multiple places. Just know that we're going to work on that, and we're going to try and be more consistent with what we do."
