Tales of Vesperia returns this month, and it’s better than ever.

Life Is Strange 2 (Episode 2)
Releasing January 24th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One
The first episode of this long-awaited sequel released in September to overwhelmingly positive reviews, and on the 24th the story continues. Chloe and Max are gone, and a lot of things have changed in Life Is Strange 2; but fortunately, the emotional, choice-driven gameplay hasn’t. All the decisions you make throughout the game still matter, and will create an entirely unique experience for each player.
This new Life Is Strange story focuses on two brothers: Sean, who’s 16, and his 9-year-old brother Daniel. You’ll play as Sean, who, after an argument spiraled out of control, is on the run for a murder he may or may not be responsible for. With no choice but to run, it’s now up to you to look after yourself and your younger brother as you try to escape (across the U.S.) to Mexico.
