In 2017, Deck Nine Interactive took the reins and released Life is Strange: Before the Storm, a prequel to the original game. This three-episode series shifts the spotlight to Chloe Price, one of the original game's central characters, offering a deeper understanding of her backstory and personality. Before the Storm explores Chloe's life in the small town of Arcadia Bay, her relationships, and the events that shaped her into the person she was during Max's time.
