Back in September Life is Strange 2 released its debut episode, which received warm reviews from critics and fans alike. And then the waiting began. Thankfully, Square Enix and developer Dontnod Entertainment have finally announced a release date for Episode 2, although don’t expect to play it this year – the story continues this coming January. Square Enix has also released a new live-action trailer for Episode 2, which you can watch below (wait until the end for a bit of gameplay footage).
Sean and Daniel’s story continues in Life is Strange 2 Episode 2. On the run from the police following a tragic incident in Seattle and the manifestation of a strange supernatural power, Sean and Daniel Diaz continue their journey into the winter months. As the two brothers struggle against the cold, Daniel gets increasingly ill. Sean decides that they must take the risk and make their way to their distant grandparent’s house to recover and seek shelter.
There, they encounter next-door neighbor Chris Eriksen, a young boy who believes he has powers eerily similar to Daniel’s, and they come face to face with his superhero alter ego, Captain Spirit. As Daniel and Chris are becoming fast friends, it’s up to Sean to make sure Daniel follows a set of rules they agreed on for his power: Never in public. Never talk about it. Run from danger. Can Daniel successfully hide the truth from the people around them, will the temptation to explore the immense power within him be too much, or will he break the rules in a time of need?

“[With Life is Strange 2], The developers at Dontnod have evolved their formula, taking the players of the old game right out of their comfort zones into something surprising, beautifully crafted and always intriguing.
