"Life Is Strange: Before the Storm" will be having a single global launch for its bonus episode titled "Farewell" on Monday, Mar. 5. The said release will come bundled together with the Season Pass for "Before the Storm." The additional episode will bring together the players Chloe Price and Max Caulfield years prior to his departure from Arcadia Bay.
"Life Is Strange" has also started the countdown until its worldwide release by posting an official announcement on its Twitter page.
Game developer Deck Nine Games emphasized that "Farewell" will have no true bearing on the prequel's chain of events and was specifically created to cater to the "Life Is Strange" community's requests to be able to play as Max again.
Ashly Burch and Hannah Telle will be reprising their roles as Chloe and Max in the "critically acclaimed teen drama." Burch was later on replaced in "Before the Storm" by Rihanna DeVries.
Deck Nine Games and publisher Square Enix took into consideration the disparity of waiting times for multi-platform releases, so fans will be pleased to know that it will be launched for PS4, PC, and Xbox One simultaneously.
The three-part adventure serves as a prequel to "Life Is Strange," which is set three years before the main game's actual events. Players will step into the shoes of 16-year-old Chloe who developed an unlikely bond with the popular girl, Rachel Amber.
Rachel and Chloe band together to help each other carry on through challenges that each will be facing, such as Rachel's accidental discovery about her family. Together, they will learn to overcome their personal issues as friends.
Aside from the bonus episode, "Life Is Strange: Before the Storm" will also be introducing a couple new physical releases next month, such as a vinyl edition.
After a single global launch for all platforms on Mar. 5, the boxed release of "Life Is Strange: Before the Storm" is set for Mar. 6. "Farewell" will only be available for those who purchase the digital deluxe edition of "Before the Storm."
