As we approach the #JourneysEnd, we wanted to take some time to deep dive on one of Life is Strange 2s most important, but also most misinterpreted systems. We hope that this added insight will help guide you in your decision making as you start Life is Strange 2 either for the first time or on a repeat playthrough.
As you may know, choices and their consequences in Life is Strange 2 are centered around your brother: Daniel. What we purposefully havent outlined properly to date is the depth of this system or how it actually functions as we believe a Life is Strange is best experienced purely rather than trying to game the system underlying it. Quite often we will see players deconstruct the outcome of a Life is Strange 2 episode using the choice and consequence system of previous games: If you choose these specific three or four options you should get outcome X. Today we wanted to take some time to explain that interpreting Life is Strange 2 solely through that kind of system can only lead to confusion. Before we get into the new system underlying Life is Strange 2 though, know that each entry in the season does have episode-specific consequence systems that conform to the more traditional choice and consequence approach. Your relationships with secondary characters, for example, are often based on the branching that youve come to expect from a Life is Strange game. If you work hard to build a specific relationship, that characters attitude towards you may change significantly which in turn will open or close off options that determine the fate of these characters. With respect to Daniel however, the system has added layers of complexity. From what weve seen so far, Daniels education is believed to rely on a one-track model similar to the one described above. That is to say that you can, for example, only teach Daniel to either be Good or Bad and that only certain key decisions will affect his education by nudging him towards becoming either a good or an evil person. The truth, however, is that Daniel grows and learns from your example based on two separate values: Morality and Brotherhood. Daniels Morality state determines how he acts in any given situation. Does he act in a kind and considerate way, or is he entirely selfish, without regard for other peoples feelings or safety? Daniels Brotherhood state determines how he responds to what you, as Sean, teach and ask of him. Does he trust you to make the right choice for the two of you, or will he disregard what you say because youve been unable to win his trust?
Heres the thing: the choices you must make in Life is Strange 2 are, like in other Life is Strange games and life in general, imperfect options. There is no true right or wrong decision, and all of them are laced with their own pros and cons that could contain a sting in the tail. While some decisions may improve Daniels Morality, those same choices can have a negative impact on his trust in you, and vice versa. There are some choices that may add to both Morality and Brotherhood, just like there are others that may reduce them both, or only impact one while leaving the other unaffected. You will have to weigh up each option for yourself and decide which outcome will be better for your personal Diaz brothers. Its also key to note that opposing choices arent just mirrors of one another. That is to say, choosing option A, which may award an increase in Morality, doesnt mean that option B will reduce Morality by the same amount. Each choice is weighted individually and entirely on its context. Choosing the opposite of a choice that would have affected Daniels Brotherhood and trust may not impact his Brotherhood either negatively or positively. In the diagram below weve outlined a small number of hypothetical examples of how this concept functions please note that the diagram and the choice examples are purely for illustrative purposes and are not present in Life is Strange 2. The diagram is also greatly simplified as it has been trimmed down to just 5 examples rather than the multitude of choices that play into determining the consequences you will experience.
Choice 1: Sean reminds Daniel that stealing is wrong, in every situation, and refuses to take money from an unattended wallet. Choice 2: Sean borrows a can of cola from a store, to quench Daniels thirst, and promises hell send the store a couple of dollars in the mail when they get some money. Choice 3: Sean stays up late entertaining Daniel with bedtime stories, with wholesome morals, staving off his nightmares and helping him sleep through the night. Choice 4: Sean shoots a potential kidnapper in the arm with the mans own gun, in order to save Daniel. Choice 5: An angry Sean blames Daniel for having to shoot the man. While major choices will have a greater impact on Daniels education overall, the lessons they teach him can still be outweighed by the many smaller choices you may make throughout your journey and the example you set. You cant choose to only be righteous when it counts, if thats what matters to you. You have to be an example to Daniel in everything you do and say. This is also why certain playthroughs result in different outcomes, even though players may have made the same major choices as their friends and other players. These outcomes are likely down to choosing differently in a series of smaller choices.
To date, Life is Strange 2 has featured over 50 individual choices that have pushed Daniel towards becoming moral/amoral and/or trusting/not trusting of Sean. This is what we mean when we say, everything you do will have an impact on Daniel. You have so far had 50 opportunities to mold Daniel into the kind of person you want him to become - 16 of those already appearing during Episode 1. Each opportunity and decision will have stacked on top of the others, to cumulatively determine which outcome you see at the end of each episode, and which endings (thats right, we heard you!) will be available to you at the end of the game. This additive system means that a single save file will not be able to see every single outcome of Life is Strange 2 as you will not be able to simply reload and re-pick one or two choices in order to see all other endings. You will also notice that Daniels moment-to-moment behavior throughout the season also subtly changes depending your choices. Some of those subtleties will be evident in his general behavior, interactions with Sean and other characters as well as the words he uses. Others become apparent through the look at cues you can investigate that relate to Daniel and what Sean thinks of him. As Daniel becomes the person you are teaching him to be, his learned state of mind will also open up or close off some bigger and smaller decision options that you are given. There are cases throughout the episodes where you may try to interact with Daniel in a particular way, but he refuses to listen or accept your advice or help. That refusal may mean that what youre trying to teach him may not have the same impact as if he had accepted it. This is because your previous choices have reinforced and compounded themselves as you proceeded through the story of Life is Strange 2. This is particularly visible if you have a sudden change of heart or feel strongly about a certain decision that may not align with what youve taught him so far.
Each time the little wolf icon is highlighted, your decision will have had an impact on Daniel Daniels Morality and Brotherhood values arent just on a 0-100 scale either. It is entirely possible for Daniels values to dip into negative numbers, which is when players will truly start to see Daniels dark side. There is absolutely some truth to the idea that if you end up with a Daniel who is entirely misbehaved, never listens and doesnt trust Sean then thats a direct result of you choosing to raise Daniel in that way. The ultimate outcome of the Life is Strange 2 story reflects the accumulation of all your previous choices with regards to Daniel. His actions and demeanour are determined by what you taught him throughout the season, in interactions big and small. This will be important, particularly when he reaches a point where he may well assert his independence and start making big decisions of his own.
We have purposefully not gone into exact details about which choices impact Daniels education, or to what extent, as we want you to experience Life is Strange 2 using your own personal feelings about right and wrong as a guide, rather than trying to build a specifically good or evil and obedient or rebellious Daniel. Choices, just like in real life, can be messy and are rarely clear-cut. You will often need to make peace with what you feel is best for the Diaz brothers as they journey towards Puerto Lobos. Weve outlined a few examples to explain the system a little bit more on our official Youtube Channel (you can also watch it below), though this video will include spoilers. Weve structured the video in a chronological manner so that you can view it up until the spoiler warnings for an episode you havent yet played to avoid getting spoiled. If anything at all about what we covered in this blog was confusing, this video will be sure to help! https://youtu.be/KSi-DBlycwE Were now just under a month away from the full release of Life is Strange 2 and are looking forward to hearing whether knowing more about how Daniel is taught changes how you approach the game in the weeks of the #JourneysEnd that lie ahead.

Dear Life is Strange fans, You've waited so long for it, and it's finally here... today we reveal everything you need to know about Life is Strange 2. The first of 5 episodes will release September 27, 2018 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam)! First things first: the trailer! https://youtu.be/q7K4R9nXO7k The main characters of Life is Strange 2 are brothers Sean (16) and Daniel Diaz (9), two brothers living a fairly normal life in Seattle, Washington state. Following a tragic event, their lives are forever changed. Now on the run from the police and threatened with both separation and incarceration, Sean decides to take his younger brother and seek a better life in their family's home town of Puerto Lobos, Mexico. Life on the road is tough and dangerous. The brothers will face all manner of challenges as they bravely undertake a journey that will test the bonds of brotherhood. Playing as Sean, you will need to make the kind of tough choices you can expect from a Life is Strange game, and you will need to live with the consequences of your actions. The game will this time focus on brotherhood alongside the need to guide and educate your younger brother whilst simultaneously coming of age yourself. 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. 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.
We are also really excited to confirm that Life is Strange 2 will feature a new power. What it is and how it relates to the brothers is something you will discover in due course! As Sean and Daniel travel towards Mexico, they will meet an entirely new cast of characters and pass through numerous new settings. Life is Strange 2 will also include multiple features that will be unveiled over the course of the next week, as we strive to deliver the most ambitious Life is Strange entry with the highest production values in the game series to date. Jonathan Morali, the French composer who worked with the team on the first game, is also composing a new original soundtrack for Life is Strange 2 which will be supported by a brand new licensed soundtrack.
If all that information wasn't enough, you can also look forward to gameplay from Life is Strange 2 being released in the coming days. Make sure to subscribe to us on Youtube to be notified as soon the gameplay is released! If you are attending Gamescom 2018, do drop by the Square Enix booth (Hall 9, Booth B31) to play the opening scene yourself. If you previously played The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, some of the finer details about the story and the brothers may now start falling into place. If you haven't yet played The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, you can download it entirely for free on Steam. Episode 1 of Life is Strange 2 will release September 27, 2018 and you can pre-order it here.
This game represents as much of a journey to us as it does to our heroes Sean and Daniel, and we can't wait to embark on it with you. Let's get started! The Life is Strange team

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EolUfLJpUwc Dear Life is Strange fans, Words cannot accurately express how excited we are to reveal The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit to you! This self-contained and completely free narrative Life is Strange experience will release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam) on June 26, 2018. You read that right - you won't have to pay anything at all to get this stand-alone adventure that will also give you glimpse into Life is Strange 2’s brand-new story... but only if you're clever enough to piece the clues together! In The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, you play as Chris, an ordinary 10-year old boy who dreams of being a superhero. Chris has a big imagination that will take him on all sorts of adventures, but on this particular Saturday something truly extraordinary will happen to him... We of course don't want to reveal too much about The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, but for those of you who are keen to find out a bit more, have a look at this spoiler-free first behind the scenes diary from DONTNOD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcuHeHHoPjg If you’re interested in finding out more, then keep an eye out over the E3 period as the Life is Strange team from DONTNOD are at E3 2018 in LA right now! You can look forward to multiple live streams, interviews and insights about The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. You can also find out a bit more by visiting this FAQ page. Over the past few years, ever since the release of the first game, DONTNOD have been quietly working on the next mainline entry in the Life is Strange universe. During this time we not only observed what these games truly meant to our fans, but we also put that in the context of what the series means to us and our ambitions for it. For us, Life is Strange is so much more than a single set of characters, places, themes or scenarios - Life is Strange is an entire universe of storytelling founded upon relatable characters facing real world issues, but always with "a twist of the strange" and we have many more stories we want to tell. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is the first step towards showing you the true potential of Life is Strange, and the possibilities of a diverse universe filled with interesting characters and stories to tell. With it, we have created a self-contained narrative experience that’s brimming with content – the deeper you dig, the more you will discover. While this demo is designed in the usual Life is Strange way and allows you plenty of time to explore everything, it is at the same time structurally different to previous entries. You will most likely see and discover new content on subsequent playthroughs which you might have previously missed. And there are some secrets that may very well take a coordinated group of fans to unravel... We can't wait for you to uncover the secrets of this adventure together as a community, and we're really looking forward to reading all your theories about The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit and how it might relate to Life is Strange 2. As always, we wouldn't be able to continue to make games like Life is Strange and The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit without fans such as yourselves, so thank you for all your support - Life is Strange 2 will be here soon and we look forward to embarking on this journey together with you, starting June 26 with The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit.

It's a big week for Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The bonus episode Farewell is out now and the boxed (Limited and Vinyl) editions release this week on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam)! The Limited Edition will appear in North American stores tomorrow, March 6 and on PAL-territory shelves on March 9. You can buy it here.
The Limited Edition includes a physical artbook featuring art from Life is Strange: Before the Storm plus the original soundtrack of Before the Storm on CD. That's all licensed tracks including certain Daughter tracks. A tracklist can be found here. The full OST, composed by Daughter, is available separately through their album: "Music from Before the Storm". The release of Farewell signals a lot of change. With this bonus episode we're completing the Before the Storm arc, Deck Nine Games wrap up their foray into the universe of Life is Strange and we bid a fond farewell to Max, Chloe, Rachel and all the other fan favourites of Arcadia Bay. We hope that the hard work and love that we put into Farewell will shine through and that you feel that we do the characters that DONTNOD created justice. Without knowing if or when we might once again see these characters, Deck Nine Games took extra time and care to craft this Farewell episode into something meaningful that will stay with everyone who plays it. The original voice actors, Ashly Burch and Hannah Telle, have returned to voice younger, more innocent versions of Chloe and Max as they embark on one final pirate-themed adventure. But when a door closes, a window opens... or, something like that. We now look forward to the coming months, when Michel Koch and Raoul Barbet's team at DONTNOD returns to present the new story and characters of the next Life is Strange. Until then, Farewell!

Here are the release times for the bonus episode Farewell. With one week to go, we'll be sharing our favorite memories of Max and Chloe to bid them a fond farewell... What has been your favorite memory of them?

Now that the complete season of Life is Strange: Before the Storm is out we know many of you have been wondering about when the bonus episode “Farewell” will be released. We're really excited to announce that Farewell will be releasing on March 6th 2018 alongside boxed editions of Before the Storm, which will release that same day in the US and on March 9th in PAL territories. As with everything we do with Life is Strange, we spent a lot of time listening to what fans liked and wished for, after we released the boxed edition of the first season back in 2016. For this edition of Before the Storm, we therefore created three different versions for you to choose from: The Vinyl Edition includes an exclusive vinyl set of the original soundtrack; a physical artbook featuring art from Life is Strange: Before the Storm plus the original soundtrack on CD, all beautifully contained in an exclusive presentation box. This version will be available through the Square Enix e-stores and can be pre-ordered here.
The Limited Edition will be available from participating retailers and will include the physical artbook featuring art from Life is Strange: Before the Storm plus the original soundtrack on CD. Alternatively, a Standard Edition will be available too if you'd prefer to have just the game on disc to add to your game collection. This will initially only be available in the US and will launch in other territories at a later date. All three editions also include the following digital content:

• Bonus Episode: ‘Farewell’ - play one last time as a young Max Caulfield in a special bonus episode...
• Mixtape Mode – Design your own playlist from the Life is Strange licensed soundtrack and listen to it alongside a cinematic scene from the game
