When a sequel to Life is Strange was announced, many fans of the series speculated just where the series could go. Given the definitiveness of the first games ending, venturing back to the same setting and characters would never satisfy everyone. Dontnod has cleverly revealed just how the franchise will continue with a prologue for the upcoming second season titled The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. The eponymous superhero is the creation of young Chris Erikson, a boy dealing with the aftermath of his mothers death in a car crash that left his father alone to care for Chris. Through exploring their house and taking on the responsibility of adulthood, Chris becomes a hero in his own life as well, a crafty way to pull at the heartstrings but also introduce the larger mythos of the upcoming season.

Life is Strange 2's free prequel chapter, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, will be available to download next Monday, 25th June at 5pm UK time.
So that's 6pm in Western Europe, or 9am Pacific and midday Eastern if you're in North America.
Overall, it's a day earlier than planned - and the exact same timing for all platforms: PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Last week, Japan had a big release with Type-Moon’s high-speed Servant action game Fate/Extella Link for PS4 and PS Vita, Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Little Nightmares, and Sushi Striker.

The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit may not be particularly adventurous, per se, but it has heart on its side. This free Life is Strange prequel episode centers on the relationship between a wonderfully imaginative boy and his emotionally withdrawn father, but for all the depth and humanity of its storytelling it lacks enough tough challenges or meaningful decisions to make participating feel exciting.
