Hadok · Jun 10, 2018

Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC (Steam)

It's a free game,in the Life is Strange Universe.

It will introduce you to the "coming soong" Life is Strange 2

Trailer:

"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!"

"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."

Thanks for the new thread! I'll be keeping an eye on people's thoughts and will try and answer any questions I can in an organised manner :)

That Macaulay Culkin face creeps me off. >_>

So, to clarify early on, Life is Strange 2 is still a whole game coming and this isn't episode 1 of that, correct?

Soriku · Jun 10, 2018

Thread title should be updated to say it's in the LiS universe

I like the trailer, def getting the LiS feel, and free is dope. Will be interesting to see how it connects to LiS2.

Hong · Jun 10, 2018

Oh it's free? Nice. Also Sufjan Stevens song was a great choice.

Goldrusher · Jun 10, 2018

Very cool.

I like the idea of giving your audience a "short story" to experience what your games are truly about.

dragonbane · Jun 10, 2018

Cool idea! I really have high hopes for LiS 2. The main wish I have are better facial animations and a stronger choice and consequence system. Detroit spoiled me on that and I don't expect LiS 2 to match it, but better than its predecessor would be swell.

IfSleepoversCouldTalk · Jun 10, 2018

It looks cute, I'll definitely play it.

Box · Jun 10, 2018

Correct - this is NOT Episode One of LiS2, which is it's own full game still to be revealed.

manchego obfuscator · Jun 10, 2018

This looks so fucking good, and even better given that it's free. Can't wait.

Yup. It seems like this story will be cozy & compact. I can dig it!

Deleted member 13550 · Jun 10, 2018

This somehow stood out the most for me. Looking forward to playing it.

Council Pop · Jun 10, 2018

Wonderful! Can't wait, I'm really impressed with what Dontnod is doing with Life is Strange in general. The only disappointing thing is that this suggests that Life is Strange isn't going anywhere near the Switch- I understood Before The Storm not being on Switch as it must have started development way before the Switch came out, but this suggests that Switch isn't being considered for LiS games at all, despite iOS releases etc.

Still can't wait to play this though, and very very intrigued about LiS 2....

lusca_bueno · Jun 10, 2018

This looks SO awesome!

SmokingBun · Jun 10, 2018

Captain Spirit dies at the end and LiS 2 is about his buddies figuring out the mystery of his death/disappearance

It's not Life is Strange 2:

Well shit.

Aurc · Jun 10, 2018

Looks fun, what a cool surprise.

Lordciego · Jun 10, 2018

I though at first this was going to be LiS 2, but you can beat free prequel. I prefer it that way, a child so little would be very polarizing to be a protagonist for many people (not me).

fanboy · Jun 10, 2018

Holy fucking christ. How many teams do they actually have?

I am expecting them to announce GTA VI at sony conferenc3.

Shark · Jun 10, 2018

This kind of choked me up. Very well done. Sufjan melts me.

nasirum · Jun 10, 2018

Male protagonist... might pass...

Nah I'll play it.

Paquete_PT · Jun 10, 2018

Dontnod is like Banksy, it represents a group of developers throughout the globe...right?! How can they possibly have so much stuff going on at the same time?
This looks really really cool. And it's really nice that they're giving it for free!

Fanto · Jun 10, 2018

This is a pretty cool idea, I'm into it. Can't wait to find out all about LiS 2 at Square's show tomorrow though, right SE Toby ?

Certinfy · Jun 10, 2018

DONTNOD keep winning. Looks great.

coolasj19 · Jun 10, 2018

I'm 1000% in for a free stand-alone adventure that leads into something bigger. This is very much my favorite way of distributing content. I'm so insanely happy they went so young with this.

SDBurton · Jun 10, 2018

Will definitely check it out.

Kyrios · Jun 10, 2018

Definitely checking this out, that was a cute trailer.

Deleted member 4247 · Jun 10, 2018

Looks very bad visually, particularly the animation. Like a Telltale game.

But for free I'll give it a go.

yes !

Deleted member 9746 · Jun 10, 2018

It's free? I'm in! I really enjoyed the trailer. It was so wholesome.

Ahasverus · Jun 10, 2018

Cool marketing tactic. Looks pretty cute.

Tizoc · Jun 10, 2018

I mean even I knew it wasn't LiS2 by the time the trailer ended and the title showed up.
It being a prequel is cool, but the game itself looks neat and I look forward to playing it :D

StereoVSN · Jun 10, 2018

Woah, that was unexpected and interesting. I really like their approach to storytelling. Looking forward to LIS2 as well.

TheBeardedOne · Jun 10, 2018

I almost yelled in excitement, haha

Loved Life is Strange and thought this was our first look at the sequel. I'm happy with what it is, though, and that it's free. Can't wait.

For now we want to focus on Captain Spirit - It's a significant piece of content, not a quick throwaway and deserves it's place in the sun for a short while. This is the start of the LiS2 information journey though :)

Toumari · Jun 10, 2018

I don't understand why this is free? Surely you could charge a small amount for it. Or is it episodic, where the first episode is free?

Bushido · Jun 10, 2018

I'm gonna download and play this the second it comes out. Huge Life Is Strange fan and this looks just as good. Hyped!

Hadok · Jun 10, 2018

if someone with great powers could edit my thread title to add "Life is Strange universe" ,thanks ! :)

Brotherhood93 · Jun 10, 2018

This was my highlight of the whole Xbox conference. Watching it evoked a lot of the same feelings I had playing the first Life is Strange. Excellent use of music in the trailer too. Can't wait to play.

Masterspeed · Jun 10, 2018

I haven't beaten Life Is Strange past Episode 1, but the kid looks a lot like Max in the face. Maybe judging by the trailer, she disappears due to some time shenanigans?

Deleted member 864 · Jun 10, 2018

It looks good.

Gabbo · Jun 10, 2018

I'm definitely intrigued/ It's look to play with the heart strings and be a more emotional, adventure take on costume quest's idea of kids playing as super heroes

Kaversmed · Jun 10, 2018

That Dontnod magic - so good.
