Life is Strange: The Awesome Adventures Of Captain Spirit Focuses On A Young Boy
Microsoft showed off a slice of the next Life is Strange game during the company's E3 2018 press conference. Life is Strange: The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is coming in a few weeks, and it'll be available as a free download, to boot.
The game features a young boy playing with superhero toys and doing his best to approximate having his own super abilities (using a firecracker in a snowman). He and his father appear to be dealing with the recent death of the boy's mother, though judging from the upbeat tone in the trailer and the presence of a high five, the pair seems to be working through it as a team.
The game is being developed by Dontnod and published by Square Enix. This one isn't a multi-episode arc; think of it as the Ground Zeroes to Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Fortunately, the price is right; you'll be able to download it on June 26 at no cost.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
