Life Is Strange 2: Episode 1 Gets a Release Date

Share.

Life Is Strange will begin its second season on September 27, with the first episode coming to PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Announced on Twitter, the sequel will again comprise 5 episodes. A teaser trailer shows the announcement being sewn across a tattered backpack, but it looks like we won't see the significance of that image until August, when developer Dontnod says we'll get more information.

A free game set in the same universe, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit will be released for free on June 26. While it's a self-contained story, Dontnod describes it as a "narrative experience demo" for Life Is Strange 2, and some choices made in it will affect the sequel.

We came away with mixed feelings on the original Life Is Strange series, but it was absolutely a hit, hitting 3 million sales over its five episodes, and getting commissioned as a TV show.

Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he was accidentally the first person in the world to review Episode 1 of Life Is Strange. Ask him how that went on Twitter.
