It’s been a long old wait, but developer Dontnod’s episodic road trip sequel, Life is Strange 2, will reach its conclusion this December with the release of its fifth instalment – and publisher Square Enix has now revealed that two boxed editions will launch on the same day.
Life is Strange 2 focusses its attention on protagonists Sean and Daniel Diaz, two brothers forced to go on the run following a tragic accident. And those eager to follow the sibling’s adventures in their complete form will have two boxed options come December.
First up is the standard physical edition, priced at £34.99, which includes the full five-episode season, alongside its wonderful prelude The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, which initially launched as a free scene-setting episode last June. It also features Arcadia Bay Patches, enabling players to customise Sean’s in-game backpack.

Those looking for something a bit fancier, however, might prefer the Life is Strange 2 Collector’s Edition, which costs £64.99 and is only available to purchase through Square Enix’s online store. This too includes the complete season, the bonus episode, and patches, but also brings a number of additional Life is Strange 2 desirables.
There’s a four-disc vinyl box set featuring the game’s Jonathan-Morali-composed score, a 32-page hardcover art book, Sean and Daniel figurines (measuring 4″ and 3″ respectively), plus a presentation box to jam the whole lot in. This latter edition, which you can see in the image above, is described as being “strictly limited to a single production run”.
