Life Is Strange 2 is Dontnod’s chance to build gaming’s Twilight Zone

In 2015, the episodic adventure Life Is Strange won over fans with its complicated female heroes and smart take on a branching storyline. Since then, developer Dontnod Entertainment has released a prequel called Before The Storm and the free, short-form spin-off The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Now, Dontnod is preparing to release Life Is Strange 2 for PC and consoles for $40. And the studio is leaving the characters of the first game behind to build something bigger.

Life Is Strange 2 follows brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz. Sean is 16 and Daniel is 9. They are on the run after a family tragedy in Seattle. The boys are also trying to hide a mysterious power from the world as well. As is standard for Life Is Strange, players must make decisions. But as Sean, anything you choose will affect Daniel.
