Life is Strange 2 sees players in the shoes of brothers Daniel and Sean Diaz. The player as Sean (16) will go on a year-long trip with Daniel (9) that will take them from Seattle, Washington to their family's hometown in Puerto Lobos, Mexico.
Starting in October 2016, three years after the events of Life is Strange 1 and the story of Max Caulfield and Chloe Price, Sean and Daniel go on the run after an incident that sees the death of their father and changes their lives forever. Over the course of the year, the Diaz brothers will encounter other characters and situations as they try and make their way to Mexico.
The themes cited for the game are brotherhood and education, the latter having a massive effect on Daniel. The choices you make will have an impact on his behaviour.
Will we see Max and Chloe in this game?
Likely not. Dontnod had said previously any new games would be set with new stories, new locales and more outside the first game. So your chances of seeing them two in this - and likely any other characters and locales save for maybe an easter egg of sorts - are slim-to-nill.

Will our saves from Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm carry over?
No.
Will our saves from The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit carry over?
Yes! Your choices from Captain Spirit will affect Life is Strange 2, although how is still unknown. Your saves will only carry over if you're playing Life is Strange 2 on the same platform you played Captain Spirit on, though, so be aware of that.
Do I need to play the previous games to know what's going on?
For Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm, definitely not. Those two games are self-contained away from LiS2's canon and are not necessary before starting LiS2 (Though that being said, you should definitely play them anyway if you haven't already because they are great games in their own right).
A playthrough of Captain Spirit is recommended, however. Acting as a standalone prequel to Life is Strange 2, your choices in that will impact the main game. And also it's only two-to-three hours long and it's free on whatever platform you want to play on so jump on that.
What are Sean and Daniel's spirit creatures?
Akin to the doe with Max and the bluejay with Chloe in the first game, it's highly suggested that Sean and Daniel's spirit creatures are a pair of wolves.
What are your thoughts on Hot Dog Man?
I love him.
What are your thoughts on Tom Nook?
THE DEVIL INCARNATE. Also, this is the wrong thread/franchise to ask me this.

Not much has been revealed on the game's soundtrack, although a Spotify playlist made by the official Life is Strange account has already posted two songs into a game-specific playlist: Liztomania by Phoenix and On The Flip Of A Coin by The Streets. The playlist will update as the season goes on and more music is publicly debuted in the game.
The first season had a varied array of artists such as Jose Gonzalez, Foals, Alt-j, Mogwai and more. Before the Storm had a mostly original soundtrack from UK band Daughter but had a few other artists such as Wolf Alice too.

GameRevolution - 3.5/5
AOTF - 4/5
USGamer - No score ("Life Is Strange 2's debut episode, despite its faults and its slow-moving pace, starts the series off compellingly, setting off on a road trip adventure that I'm sure will bear more hardship for the two brothers than unlikely friendships. It's telling a very different story from its predecessor, but thus far it retains the most important element: making us care about the characters, wherever the journey takes them.")
