  What’s the deal with this game? The first release with all its chapters was regarded as an amazing game. I even played some of the first and enjoyed it. Since then, I know they released a 2nd game and then a third? And I think they weren’t as good from what I heard. I’m just shocked they are continuing to make new ones, I guess. I just figure there would be no way to recapture what made the first special and will never sell as much as it did.

      Thanks for making this timeline because whenever news is brought up about the troubles behind this series I’m so confused on how they’ve structured their releases.

    It’s more of an anthology series, so most of the games are completely unconnected. This is the first direct sequel to the original LiS, featuring the original main character.

    There are also two different studios involved: Dontnod created the original game, Life is Strange 2 (2018), and the spinoff The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, but the other three games in the series were made by Deck Nine.
