Life is Strange gets a sequel

Dontnod has announced that the episodic game Life is Strange will get a successor. According to the developers, the first part has now been sold three million times and the new game has been working on since the beginning of 2016.

Dontnod does not yet provide substantive information about the new Life is Strange game. The developer also says that the game will not be shown at E3, the game fair that takes place in June. They only let go in their announcement that the new part has been worked on since the release of the physical version of the game.

The first episode of the interactive adventure game Life is Strange was released in early 2015. The game consists of five episodes, which were bundled into a physical release in early 2016 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. According to Dontnod, the developers have been working on the new game ever since.

Life is Strange tells the story of young college student Maxine Caulfield from the fictional Oregon town of Arcadia Bay. Maxine experiences a disastrous vision, in the form of a kind of daydream in which a gigantic tornado threatens to destroy Arcadia Bay. The game is based on the so-called ‘Butterfly effect’. That is the principle whereby a minute difference of variables at initial conditions has a strong and unpredictable influence on certain final outcomes.
