Life Is Strange: Before The Storm - Everything We Know So Far
5. Old Characters Will Return
One of the key takeaways from what we've seen at E3 is that Before the Storm will give us a fairly extensive look at Arcadia Bay and its residents, including characters we met in the first Life Is Strange.
It's been confirmed that, naturally, Chloe's mother, Joyce and her step-father, David are going to be key figures in her story. Moreover, the gameplay footage contained an appearance by Frank, Chloe's drug dealer-to-be, as well as a brief but deliberate reference to Sean Prescott, the father of the first game's pseudo-antagonist, Nathan.
In addition, it has also been confirmed that Blackwell Academy will be a prominently featured setting in this prequel, as it was in the first game. This, of course, opens the door for such characters as Nathan himself to return, not to mention the actual main antagonist of Life Is Strange, Mark Jefferson.
Considering what we know about them both having played the first game, a bit of backstory could certainly be interesting.
