The tragic tale of Chloe and Rachel’s whirlwind romance will reach retail on 6th March, as Square Enix packages up its episodic prequel Life Is Strange: Before the Storm. There are a ridiculous three versions available, so stick with us or we’ll give you some classic Miss Price lip.
First and foremost, you can get the complete Season Pass on Blu-ray for $29.99; pre-orders come with a ‘Classic Chloe’ outfit. Alternatively, you can pod out $39.99 for a Limited Edition which includes all of the aforementioned and a CD soundtrack and artbook.
Last but not least, exclusive to the Square Enix Store for $69.99 is a Vinyl Edition, which basically adds a vinyl box set and presentation packaging on top of the above. You’ll also get a ‘Chloe and Rachel’ toy for pre-ordering it.
We thoroughly enjoyed Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, but felt that its final episode was rushed. There’s still one left chapter to come, of course, as developer Deck Nine takes us back in time with a bonus episode due any day now.
Update: Life Is Strange's bonus episode, Farewell, will release digitally alongside the retail edition on 6th March.

I thought they did a great job on this game. Enjoyed it more than the original Life is Strange and was good to get the background to the charcters. One of my favouriate games of 2017. I will look into the vinyl edition and see how it prices within the UK.
@dryrain Yeah, I think I like it more than the original as well.
Goddamit, I knew I should've waited!!
@Athrum Same. I got the LE for the first game but caved on the prequel during the black friday sale. Wish SE would just announce from the outset this was their release plan (even though i thought it would happen). Doubt i will double dip, but look forward to playing through this as i loved the first - one of my fave games this gen. Just been waiting for all episodes to release. A pleasant surprise that the max episode is due soon!
My therapist is proud how fast I recovered from the nervous breakdown the last scenes of episode 3 had caused, but he told me to avoid the bonus episode until I would be 100% mentally stable again.
@Rob_230 Yeah I don't think I'll double dip either. Didn't do it with the first one, won't do it with this one. But I'm one of those that prefers physical copies to digital, so it's 3 games now where this happened (both LiS and Hitman), think it's time I learned my lesson.
Im going to double dip but i really dont like these tricks.
I bought the deluxe edition on the recent sale (unaware that the trophy for the bonus episode had been removed lol). As much as i enjoyed it some of the voice acting was a little off, i feel delaying it until the voice actors strike was over would have been better. Also chapter 3 did rely too much on not playing the main game first for tension to work and created plot holes but it was still enjoyable
Cool, I have been waiting for all and bonus episode to be collected rather than paying more.
Finally!!! Now I have to buy a record player.
Good stuff. The prequel was amazing, and even better than LIS in many respects. Definitely gonna pick this up, and find a physical copy of LIS while I’m at it.
Just finished this yesterday on PC, I'm looking forward to the bonus episode! It's kind of horrible playing a prequel as you know how it's going to end, definately a game that tugs at your heartstrings!
Better than the original LIS? That's some high praise. I'll be getting this in March mos def.
Damn, should have expected this. Oh well, at least with my digital copy I don't have to hear the disc.
