Square Enix has announced today the release of the first episode of Life is Strange: Before The Storm known as ‘Awake’, which is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
To commemorate the occasion, a brand new video has launched entitled “An Open Letter,” which showcases friendship, love and support that players can expect to find in the game. Have a look at the short video below.
As for the game itself, Before The Storm sees Chloe and Rachel forming a special friendship, mirroring situations relevant to many in everyday life. Whether it is for a short time or a lifetime, everyone has had someone who has made an impact on their lives in some way, and that is what is on show here.
Jon Brooke, the Vice President for Brand Marketing at Square Enix, stated: “I wanted to capture the emotion and spirit of Life is Strange in a way that you don’t usually see in video game advertising. As a game, it braves to be different, harnessing emotions rarely seen in video games and I wanted the advertising to match this. I am really pleased with how it turned out. It’s designed to remind us that life is all about our relationships and a strong friendship can change everything. I hope everyone can relate to that.”
Life is Strange: Before The Storm is now available with episode one on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
