Life Is Strange 2 is indeed coming soon!
2018 is going to be a big year for one of the most surprise hit original intellectual properties in recent memory. Titan announced it would publish a limited series comic based on events from the first game later this year. Life Is Strange creator, Don’t Nod, is in development on the game’s sequel and next week, through publisher Square Enix, is giving away a stand-alone title called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. A title which Don’t Nod says links in several possible ways to the upcoming LIS sequel. Today, the game’s social media revealed the actual Life Is Strange 2 will once again be a five-episode series with the first episode coming on September 27, 2018.
The brief tease shows the announcement being sewn across a tattered backpack, but it looks like we won’t see the significance of that image until August, according to tweets from the official Life Is Strange account.
Before that, on June 26, Don’t Nod and Square Enix are releasing The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. According to the company, it will be a “narrative demo” of story-driven gameplay that links to Life Is Strange 2. They’ve also stressed you do not need to have played either the original Life Is Strange or its Before The Storm prequel to enjoy and understand what’s going in Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit and will be 100% free to own by downloading it from PlayStation Store, Xbox Live, and STEAM PC.
After playing through an early look at Captain Spirit, I can tell you fans of the series are about to open a floodgate of speculation as to what Life Is Strange 2‘s story will be about and I can’t wait to read every theory.
Life Is Strange 2 will release its first episode on September 27, 2018 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
We’ve known this was coming for a while, but now it’s official – Life is Strange 2 releases its first episode (of a five-episode season) in September. This was revealed via a very-teasery teaser trailer (seriously, it’s just a logo reveal, but check it out if you want).
Life is Strange 2 is being developed by series creators Dontnod Entertainment (prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm was made by a different studio). The game has been in the works since 2016, and was announced simply as “a new Life is Strange game” back in early 2017. Now we know it’s a full, numbered sequel. Very little has been revealed about the plot of Life is Strange 2, although its said to be a fresh story featuring a totally new cast of characters. We'll get to learn more about the game this August.
For those who just can’t wait until September, next week marks the release of The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, which is essentially a free demo/preview for Life is Strange 2. The game is about Chris, an imaginative superhero-loving kid who suddenly finds himself in midst of a real-life adventure. You can check out a trailer, below.
Chris is an ordinary 10-year old boy who wants to be a superhero. He loves his toys and has a big imagination that takes him on all sorts of adventures, but today is not one of his usual adventures, today something truly extraordinary will happen to him. Dontnod Entertainment are back with an all-new original and endearing story that will let you experience a slice of young Chris’ life, as he turns an ordinary Saturday into an epic superhero adventure. The Awesome Adventures Of Captain Spirit will feature links to the brand-new story of Life Is Strange 2.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit takes flight PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on June 26.
Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 arrives on September 27.
