Though one was happy as happy could be to see Chloe Price return for the prequel-esque Life is Strange: Before The Storm, a part of me did want a sequel and the original team at Dontnod to be working on it.

Fortunately, in a recent Steam Community blog post, the developer confirmed that Before The Storm is the second Life is Strange project in development. Dontnod is still very much working on a new game.

“So yes, that means there are now TWO Life is Strange projects in development, with DONTNOD Entertainment having also recently announced that they are also working on a new game. You’ll be the first to hear when we have more news on their game but for now, let’s focus on the newly announced Life is Strange: Before the Storm.”

It makes sense, especially when Dontnod itself said the Life is Strange sequel wouldn’t be at E3 2017 but Before The Storm was. Overall, more Life is Strange can’t be a bad thing for any fan, even if it will be a while before the sequel is showcased.

Life is Strange: Before The Storm sees its first episode release on August 31st for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Square Enix’s Life is Strange returns with Before The Storm which focuses on Chloe Price after she lost her father. The publisher confirmed that there would be no time travel this time around but thanks to a new behind the scenes video at Deck 9, we know even more about the process behind the story.

Though Ashly Burch won’t be voicing Chloe this time around, she has been brought on-board on as a writing consultant to help with the character’s mind-set and thought process.

Since Chloe is meant to live with her consequences, the severity of the decisions and inability to go back was emphasized. Deck 9 also talked about Dontnod’s love for the game and how it crafted a set of tools called StoryForge to help with its story sequences.

The first episode of Life is Strange: Before The Storm is out on August 31st with three episodes in total planned. What are your thoughts on the prequel? Let us know in the comments.
