The original Life is Strange starred high school student Max, an aspiring photographer who learns she has the power to rewind time. The narrative-focused experience centered around Max’s budding power, which she could use to change events and reshape the future. It was a gripping story that melded elements of TV shows like Veronica Mars and Twin Peaks, with the gameplay of episodic adventures from Telltale Games.

The first episode of the new Life is Strange arc will debut on August 31st. Meanwhile, a live-action series based on the series is also in the works.
