The Life Is Strange collection isn’t recognized for telling the happiest of tales, however the Gamescom reveal trailer for Dontnod’s sequel Life Is Strange 2 wastes no time in letting you realize that this one goes to be a downer. The video beneath offers us a short introduction to the younger Diaz brothers – Sean and Daniel – and offers us some hints as to why they’re on the street, residing tough and apparently attempting to remain forward of the police on a protracted journey south. Don’t quote me on this, however I’m fairly positive that superpowers are concerned.
After what’s being reported within the papers because the taking pictures of their father by police in Seattle, younger duo Sean (seventeen years previous) and his little brother Daniel (9) have taken to America’s deep woodlands and winding roads. Apparently the cop was discovered useless as properly, and so they’re wished for questioning. Quite how a scared teenager and his even youthful brother are going to maintain it collectively out within the wild is past me, even when one (or each?) of them has mysterious powers. Suddenly, the relative simplicity of Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons appears beneficial.
It’s an attention-grabbing setup for what’s undoubtedly going to be a heart-wrenching choose-your-own-adventure story. From the all-too-brief glimpse we noticed of the brand new spooky powers within the trailer and the earlier teaser video, they’re considerably extra easy than we’ve seen within the collection earlier than. At least, that positive seems like some type of mysterious explosion or shockwave to me. So, we’re in all probability coping with a singular timeline.
The first episode of Life Is Strange 2 will probably be launching on September 27th, with the remaining 4 due out over the next months. You can find the whole season here on Steam, the place it will likely be launching for £32.48/$40. The episodes will probably be purchasable individually at launch, too.
