DONTNOD and Square Enix today released the third episode for Life is Strange 2. The episode, entitled "Wastelands" continues the story of two brothers, Sean and Daniel Diaz, on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The two are still travelling from Seattle to Mexico, with this episode taking place after a "dramatic escape from Beaver Creek." They find themselves now in California's famous Redwood Forests.

Life is Strange 2 is an adventure title from the studio that brought you the first Life is Strange and Vampyr. It's a story of two brothers on the run from authorities as they try to deal with society, unnatural abilities, and mother nature.


The brothers experience life on the fringes of society as they reunite with Cassidy and Finn, befriend a close-knit community of drifters and runaways, and begin working on an illegal farm in an attempt to scrape together enough money to continue their journey.

New friendships, relationships, and mentors influence Sean and Daniel, encouraging them to learn more about themselves and each other. Their resolve is tested once again, as friction arises between them. Uncertain about their once united purpose, will their strong bond survive?

“The coming-of-age story in Life is Strange 2 hits a crucial point in “Wastelands.” The key themes in this episode are community, relationships, and finding your own identity. Sean gets to hang out with a group of friends again and be a teenager, while Daniel finds new people to look up to,” said Michel Koch & Raoul Barbet, Co-Creative Directors of Life is Strange 2. “The brothers will spend more time apart and really learn a lot about themselves and who they are as individuals. They have been on an intense journey, and this episode represents a moment for them to experience some sense of normality and focus on themselves, although within the context of an alternative community and lifestyle.”

“Episode 3 is a climactic moment in the Life is Strange 2 season. The exciting twists and turns take the story up another notch, and Sean & Daniel will never be the same again,” said Jon Brooke, Co-Head of Studio at Square Enix External Studios. “We are proud of this episode and really excited to see the reactions of players after experiencing Episode 3!”
