It’s an Entirely New Story
The events of Before the Storm are set three whole years before the story of Life Is Strange. During this time period, Chloe is still dealing with the loss of her father, as well as Max’s move to Seattle. 16 year-old Chloe is in a rough spot in her life, but everything changes once she meets Rachel Amber.
Most fans already know what happens to Rachel by the end of Life Is Strange, but Before the Storm won’t be focusing on her disappearance or the events that lead up to her depressing fate. Instead, the game will be focusing on the relationship between Chloe and Rachel, giving us more insight into their dynamics and the kind of person Rachel really was – a genius idea, especially considering the fact that Rachel is such a mysterious enigma during the original series.
