Nice. All new characters/setting or bust.

 

[Spman2099]

Not sure why people tend to love so much this game. Bought and completed it because the hype, and got truly dissapointed due to the poor dialogues in the entire game.

Hopefully the script is a little better written next time around. Their attempt to encapsulate the speaking patterns of teenagers was admirable, but ended up falling flat (and was a little bit embarrassing at times). Another thing they need to work on is their antagonists. Most of them were so incredibly one-note. Hopefully they use this opportunity to improve on some of the failings of the first game.

Oh, and if we get a new protagonist it would be nice if they were a little more flawed. Why does Max have so many enemies again? Because she is so incredibly genuine, loyal, and thoughtful?

 

[IAmAnAgnostic]

Improve the script a bit pls.

Also, (ending)

Spoiler

I hope the ending isn't terrible again, I picked up the game because of the mystery that never got answered + choices were meaningless.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Loved the original. Nice to have confirmation they're going ahead with another.

 

[EdgeXL]

I may get crucified for this but I hope the story follows a new cast of characters and setting. As much as I loved Max and Chloe, I feel their story has been told.

Dontnod suggested a while ago that it would be a new cast.

 

[Double Donut]

HELLA YES

I think that's the common consensus. At least I hope?

 

[disappeared]

Their story is complete. They earned their rest.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It should definitely be a new cast. But if they were to reuse the original cast, hopefully they slot the best character from LiS into the lead

 

[Tactics18]

Looking forward to it.
The soundtrack was sooooo damn good

 

[Fat4all]

Dontnod suggested a while ago that it would be a new cast.

I hope so, I'd prefer it that way.

The flying nun.

Edit: I should confess that I stole this from Honest Game Trailers

 

[BY2K]

The flying nun.

Dude...

 

[Via Purifico]

Hell yes! Loved the first one, interested to see how they shape the sequel.

[Necron]

As much as I liked Chloe and Max, I hope we get a new cast of characters. As long as they can keep the dreamy/nostalgic/Twin Peaks-esque atmosphere going then I'm all in. Perhaps some small references to the first series would be lovely.

 

[Hexer06]

So hyped!! They deserve more sales! Haha

 

[Lijik]

Life Gets Stranger

 

[DoctorFling]

I know it's almost cliche to say but I would love this on Switch. 100% comfy.

 

[broncobuster]

Loved the first but I'm hoping the sequel is divorced from it. Leave it be.

 

[Sulik2]

YESSSS. The greatest waifu game ever is getting a sequel. I want it to be a new setting.

 

[mavericktopgun]

I want the first one on Switch!!

[CamHostage]

Really sweet little video from the team too, they seem to have taken the success and impact of the game to heart. Best of luck to Dontnod!

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Awesome. LiS is one of my favorite games this gen.

 

[kromeo]

Life is strange in gif form

 

[DJMicLuv]

Great news! Had a smashing time with the first series.

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

I'd love to have the old cast back but their story definitely felt like it had ended.

Nice to see a confirmation regardless!

 

[RaptorGTA]

Loved the first game..not sure if I can get emotionally involved for a second time though.

 

[Hexer06]

Has anyone said they're "hella" excited for this yet? ;p

 

[TheNormalMan]

Awesome! Hoping for new cast and setting too. I think it'd be cool to follow characters in an exchange program in France. Relatively small group of students and adult characters in a foreign land would be ripe for drama.

 

[Makonero]

yessssss

can't wait to find weird places to take photos

that giant squirrel was bomb

 

[selfconfessedcynic]

Great News!

As much as I liked Max+Chloe, I really hope they have a new cast for LiS2 (mainly because of some spoilery endgame stuff that I won't go into that necessitates they make an ending I didn't choose canon).

 

[timetokill]

Loved this game

Hoping for a new cast and 100% less hella

 

[SolidSnakex]

Loved this game

Hoping for a new cast and 100% less hella

It'll be replaced with dabbing.

 

[TimFL]

Can't wait for more hip teenager dialogues written by 40 year old french men.

Absolutely cringeworthy game.

 

[Smiley90]

DAY -1

Recently replayed LiS1 for the third time

GOTY still


HYYYYPEEEEE

 

[theBmZ]

I don't quite know how to feel about this. I know for sure I am hella excited. One of my favorite games of all time. I wonder if it will be about Max and crew, or a completely new cast of characters. I hope this game can reach me on an emotional level like the first did.

 

[Staf]

Would have been my GOTY if it weren't for it being released the same year as Witcher 3. But man, that ending (and probably the whole final episode) wasn't very good...

 

[Kyrios]

YESSSSSSSS! Holy crap I'm so happy!

 

[AlphaDragoon]

It should definitely be a new cast. But if they were to reuse the original cast, hopefully they slot the best character from LiS into the lead

Best girl, best character.

[Sir Doom]

Nice to see a confirmation.

 

[Kane1345]

Nice, loved the first one

 

[kpaadet]

I really should get through season 1, the dialog makes it so hard to complete though.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

I'm in.

 

[extralite]

Obligatory "I want this in VR" post.

The original was great. I liked the mechanics, the story and characters, and especially the episodic format. It's much easier to commit to a game when you can play it in bursts of 1-2 days of playtime. So I'm glad this format found so much success.

 

[BleedOrange]

YES! This is one of the few games that my S.O. actually got genuinely hooked on. We loved it. Cannot wait for the followup.
