Evaluation

Life is Strange 2 launched its first episode on September 26, 2018, and was structured as a five-episode episodic series. All five episodes were released on schedule: Episode 2 on January 24, 2019; Episode 3 on May 9, 2019; Episode 4 on August 22, 2019; and Episode 5 (the series finale) on December 3, 2019. The store description explicitly states "ALL EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE TO PLAY NOW!" and promotes purchasing the Complete Season. A Japanese language pack followed in March 2020, and a final bug-fix patch shipped in December 2019, but no new story content has been released or announced for this game since the series concluded. All six DLC items in the store listing are marked as released. Subsequent news posts on this store page relate to other entries in the Life is Strange franchise (True Colors in 2021, Double Exposure in 2024), not to new content for Life is Strange 2. The game is a complete, self-contained story.

About this game





ALL EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE TO PLAY NOW!



Purchase the Complete Season and receive the 'Arcadia Bay' patch bundle to customise your in-game backpack.

The award-winning Life is Strange series continues with an all-new story from DONTNOD Entertainment.

After a tragic incident, brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz run away from home. Fearing the police, and dealing with Daniel's newly manifested telekinetic power – the power to move objects with your mind – the boys decide to travel to their father's hometown of Puerto Lobos in Mexico for safety.

Suddenly, sixteen year-old Sean is responsible for Daniel’s safety, shelter, and teaching him right from wrong. As Daniel's power grows, it’s up to Sean to decide the rules by which they live. Keep the power secret, or use it to help them in their journey? Beg, borrow, or steal? Reach out to family, or stay hidden?

As Sean, your choices shape the fates of the Diaz brothers, and the lives of everyone they meet.



From Seattle, to Portland, to California... through gas stations, abandoned shacks, backstreets and forests... the road to Mexico is long and filled with danger – but also friendship, wonder, and opportunity.

This is the trip that could bond Sean and Daniel forever… or tear their brotherhood apart.

Key Features:
• Award Winning Story-Telling
• Daniel is always learning from Sean – and what you teach him has far-reaching consequences.
• Stunning visuals and hand-painted textures.
• Emotive original soundtrack from Jonathan Morali, composer of the original Life is Strange - plus licensed tracks from Phoenix, The Streets, Sufjan Stevens, Bloc Party, First Aid Kit, and more.
