The Last Episode of Life is Strange: Before the Storm Arrives
We have reached the conclusion of Life is Strange: Before the Storm. The bonus episode, titled “Farewell,” is out now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. Not only does it mark the end of this prequel series, but it marks the end of developer Deck Nine’s involvement for the foreseeable future. That said, it looks like there’s more Life is Strange in store.
In the latest Before the Storm press release, Square Enix reaffirmed that Ashly Burch & Hannah Telle’s reprise their roles as Chloe and Max. You’ll be listening to them in the latest episode. And if you did not download episodes as they arrived, know that physical boxed versions containing the full season will reach the US and PAL regions on March 9th. By purchasing the Limited Edition, you will gain access to the aforementioned bonus episode plus additional DLC.
With Deck Nine leaving development, they’ve teased upcoming news from original creators Dontnod. Sounds like Life is Strange 2 news is close at hand. Moreover, it seems like significant progress has been made in development. You can read the press announcement below.
“We can’t wait for fans to play Farewell, Max’s return is the perfect way to end the season and we can’t wait for fans to experience Life is Strange with her one last time,” said Jeff Litchford, Vice President at Deck Nine Games. “We want to thank the fans who have enjoyed this incredible journey with us, we know they will miss Chloe, Rachel and Max as much as we will.”
“After following their journeys for the last few years, it’s time to fondly wave farewell to Max and Chloe,” said Jon Brooke, Vice President of Brand at Square Enix External Studios. “The torch is being passed back to Michel Koch and Raoul Barbet’s team at DONTNOD Entertainment, the creators of the original game who’ve been solely dedicated to creating the next Life is Strange for the past two years. We look forward to sharing an exciting new story and characters in the coming months.”
Stay tuned for any updates on the next Life is Strange installment. With E3 2018 on the way, a presence from Dontnod seems likely.
Happy gaming.
