Life is Strange: Before the Storm release set for August

Square Enix have announced Life is Strange: Before the Storm, a brand new three-part episodic adventure. The prequel to Life is Strange was unveiled with a new cinematic trailer as part of the last night’s Xbox E3 Briefing.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm is set in Arcadia Bay, three years before the events of the first game in the series. Players will take on the role of a rebellious 16 year-old Chloe Price who forms an unlikely friendship with Rachel Amber; a beautiful and popular girl destined for success. When Rachel’s world is turned upside down by a family secret, it takes this new-found alliance to give each other the strength to overcome their demons.

Lee Singleton, Head of Studio at Square Enix London Studios said:

[blockquote]Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a key release for Square Enix this year and is being created as a direct response to fans asking to return to Arcadia Bay so they can revisit the characters they fell in love with. Many people can identify a particular person who significantly influenced their life; the person that ultimately shaped who they became. Life is Strange: Before the Storm is about this exact moment.[/blockquote]
