Life Is Strange 2 will flee its predecessor’s high school setting, opting for a brand new tale about brothers on the run. The game will star Sean and Daniel Diaz, who you may recall from The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. When the pair inadvertently murder a police officer, they find themselves with no option but to flee Seattle for their family’s hometown of Puerto Lobos, Mexico. You’ll be making the journey alongside them.
You’ll play as the older sibling, and much like in The Walking Dead: The Final Season, your decisions throughout the five episodes will have an impact on how Daniel matures. “As with previous games in the series, Life Is Strange 2 will tackle a host of issues that all of us can identify with and that will cause moral dilemmas and require much soul searching,” the official blog explains. “These themes come together most powerfully in the way Daniel will develop depending on the lessons you teach him and the role model you decide to be.”
There’ll be a new power which developer DONTNOD is keeping underwraps, but our guess is some kind of telekinesis. French composer Jonathan Morali will once again score the game, while a new licensed soundtrack will also be on hand to inject added emotion into key scenes. The first gameplay footage will debut at Gamescom 2018 this week, with the inaugural episode due out on 27th September. We’re not sure what to think yet.

I'm glad it's not Avengers with kids (yet!) but I almost wished I did feel disgust because this did nothing for me at all.
To be honest I would prefer if there were no superpowers kind like Before the Storm.
& here I'm thinking max and chole was going to be in the sequel..
@belmont I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I hate the sci-fi stuff.
I prefer if their wasn't any superpowers, kind of makes look like it's trying to justify itself as a "game" rather then take the more grounded and believable approach Before The Storm had.
I was always kind of meh towards it anyway since it wasn't continuing Max & Chloe's story in the first place. Shame that gets left to a comic book instead of having Deck 9 make it.
I'm soooo in. This seems much better than the first one.
@belmont @get2sammyb yeah me too. I love the down to earth stuff. The tough human choices and the deep character development. Leave the super powers to the million other games that have it, and nurture what is unique about this series.
Have to say, im also sad not to see max and chloe continue their story. I loved those characters. And yes, Arcadia Bay was totes destroyed in favour of Chloe! I am playing before the storm atm and loving it so far
Hmm, interesting trailer. I'm not blown away, to be honest - maybe the gameplay will be more convincing.
@Quintumply
"Gameplay"
If you played the first one or the telltale series then you'll know is like a 3D visual novel.
So, who are these two in relation to Captain Spirit? I thought this was gonna continue Chris' story from that?
I'm glad they're not dragging out Max & Chloe's story. That feels finished to me.
Interested to see how this goes
No Max? Can't even be bothered unless it's free on Plus x)
@RogerRoger oh dear, I literally only just understood that ending just now! I assumed Chris stopped himself and the kid next door was just watching him. I feel like an idiot!
Please mind the language - Quintumply
@Alfieburns The next door neighbours.
I loved the 2 games Life is strange and Life is strange before the storm but this sounds like something I will pass on until I can buy it Dirt cheap! Sorry! I always depend on push square for reviews so I will be watching. Thanks!
First I need to see that new gameplay mechanic if the time travel mechanic doesn't return, otherwise it's just gonna feel like a walking simulator or just a copy of the waking dead
So does Life Is Strange take place is the Infamous universe now? Seems like there's alot of conduits. Maxs powers were tied to the story throughout. I dont see how this guys powers will have the same effect
I have faith that it will turn out as a very decent game (at worse). As much as i love the characters from lis1 and bts i feel their story has been told though i do hope that ONE DAY we meet chloe again.
I liked the trailer, this is gonna be a good game!
