Life Is Strange 2 is the highly anticipated follow up to 2015's Life Is Strange. The game was released in an episodic format throughout 2015, and concerned Max Caulfield, an 18-year-old photography student who one day discovers that she has the ability to rewind time whenever she wants, but with the unforseen consequence of the dreaded butterfly effect. Apparently Max isn't a big Ashton Kutcher fan. Whoops. After forseeing a massive approaching storm, Max has to try to prevent it from destroying her town.
In the sequel, everything is new; a new cast of characters, multiple new settings, new gameplay features and a brand new power to discover. The story follows two brothers, 16-year old Sean and 9-year old Daniel Diaz, who have to flee their home in suburban Seattle after a tragic event changes their lives forever. On the run from the police, Sean has to make a tough decision; bail on his brother, or take him to Puerto Lobos, Mexico. Life on the road is full of dangers and the game focuses on the hard choices that they've got to make on the road. If you've played the demo, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, your choices will carry over to Life Is Strange 2.
Raoul Barbet Co-Creative Director of Life is Strange 2 at DONTNOD Entertainment spoke about the upcoming release:
“The release of Captain Spirit was a great moment for the team and we can’t wait to introduce the players to the new story and characters of Life is Strange 2. We have worked hard with the original team to keep what I personally loved to craft in the first game: the mood, the cinematographic work and of course, the music.”
The first of five total episodes is scheduled to be released on the 27th of September 2018 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
