Life is Strange 2 Characters, Setting, Captain Spirit
Thanks to a recent reveal, we now know that Life is Strange 2 will focus on two main characters. Sean and Daniel Diaz are two brothers living in Seattle, Washington State, when an accident involving one of the boys' powers forces them to go on the run. They are aiming for their family's hometown of Puerto Lobos, Mexico. The younger brother, Daniel can be influenced by the player's decisions, so being a good role model is key. There will be a whole new power to contend with, though we don't yet know what it is.
Life is Strange 2 New Engine
As was showcased in The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, DONTNOD is using a new engine for Life is Strange 2. The differences are pretty substantial, and we recommend trying them out for yourself in Captain Spirit. Generally, the visuals have been significantly improved, and the character movements seem much smoother.
