Life is Strange 2

A road trip to remember

Suddenly, sixteen year-old Sean is responsible for Daniel’s safety, shelter, and teaching him right from wrong. As Sean, your choices shape the fates of the Diaz brothers, and the lives of everyone they meet.

Choose region

On the road to Mexico

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 strengthen their bond forever… or tear their brotherhood apart.

Key features

Award winning storytelling
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.

Episode 1

Roads

After a tragic incident, brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz run away from home.

The first episode of Life is Strange 2 is available for free.

Episode 2

Rules

The two brothers continue their journey on the road into the winter months and struggle against the cold.

During their stay at their distant grandparents’ house where they seek shelter, they encounter next-door neighbour Chris, a young boy the same age as Daniel who believes he is a super-hero by the name of Captain Spirit.

As Daniel and Chris begin to form a friendship, Sean insists on Daniel following a set of rules around his power. Will Daniel keep his power concealed or break the rules in a time of need?

Episode 3

Wastelands

Sean and Daniel Diaz’s journey to Mexico continues, as they reach the towering redwood forests of California.

Falling in with a community of drifters on the fringes of society, the brothers are exposed to new experiences, encounter new friends and challenges, and must confront much about themselves in the process.

New relationships cause friction between the brothers and raise doubts about their unity.

Can they stay together, or will their journey together end here?

Episode 4

Faith

Gravely wounded in Humboldt County, California, Sean wakes in hospital to find Daniel still missing. Under arrest, and facing tough questions, Sean’s options are few: only quick thinking and unexpected allies can secure his freedom.

Searching for Daniel under the scorching Nevada sun and through freezing desert nights, Sean must make his toughest choices yet. Puerto Lobos and the dream of freedom have never felt so far away.

Will Sean’s faith in Daniel be rewarded – or is the young wolf lost forever?

Episode 5

Wolves

Sean and Daniel have reached the end of the road. The border is close. One last, brutal gauntlet of challenges is all that stands between them and their goal.

Caught between responsibility and freedom, surrounded on all sides, can Sean find a way out of an impossible situation? And more importantly, in this moment of crisis, will Daniel still follow his lead?

Every decision Sean has made, every lesson Daniel has learned, every friend and foe they’ve met along the way: they’ve all been leading to this.

Can Sean and Daniel survive together – or will the world tear them apart?

Life is Strange 2

I fell in love with the life is strange games. Life is Strange 2 came close to home. As a mexican immigrant myself seeing representation on game was so important. The story was filled with so many important subjects such discrimination, the dangers of religious cults, and most importantly the bond between brothers. Overall a very beautiful game.
