News: The second episode is arriving soon and you will want to have gone through the free Captain Spirit title before playing it.

The second episode for Life is Strange 2 is set to be released later this week. To help celebrate the occasion Square Enix has just released the launch trailer. Episode 2 picks up a few months after the events of the first episode, as Sean and Daniel are on the run from the police following the tragic incident in Seattle and the manifestation of a strange supernatural power. Things are getting tougher as the seasons have changed and the winter cold is setting in.

The power takes a central position in the story as Daniel is slowly coming to terms with his abilities. The brothers have to practice Daniel’s control over his powers so he can be less of a danger to himself and others, but at the same time, they also have to hide his abilities from a world that won’t understand.

They have come to an agreement on a set of rules for how Daniel uses his abilities in order to keep them hidden: Never in public. Never talk about it. Run from danger. However, can a 9-year old really follow the rules?

Captain Spirit also returns in Episode 2 of Life is Strange 2. It’s recommended that players complete The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, as Episode 2 takes into account Captain Spirit save games. Actions taken in Captain Spirit will have repercussions in Episode 2. The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is available 100% free on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC/Steam.

Check out the launch trailer for Episode 2 and tell us what you think. Life is Strange 2 Episode 2 will arrive on Thursday, January 24 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Will you be picking it up?
