The trailer is out.

Looking forward to it, enjoyed part one.

Dreamfall Chapters Book Two: Rebels arrives on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store for Windows/Mac/Linux Tuesday March 10th.

The highly rated and Kickstarter funded follow-up to adventure classics The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, Dreamfall Chapters is an episodic story-driven adventure about choice and consequence set in parallel worlds: a cyberpunk vision of the future and a magical fantasy realm.

Book Two continues the story that began with Book One, and follows protagonists Kian Alvane and Zoë Castillo on their journeys to uncover the conspiracy that threatens the twin worlds of order and chaos.

In addition to revisiting locations and characters from Book One, Book Two contains a brand new city to explore: Marcuria, the capital of the Northlands, home to the Azadi occupying forces and the resistance.

The first full trailer for Book Two will arrive February 24th.

When is this game supposed to hit PS4?

Last word was around when Book two launched, but clearly that's not happening anymore. Probably be some clarification soon.

Life Is Strange AND Dreamfall Chapters in March aww yiss

 

[Amir0x]

How is that game Messofanego? I need the story to be really good if the puzzles/choices aren't convincing, so let me know if it's worth buying down the line!

 

[Slowdive]

Can't wait for this.

Story and choices are good and actually subtle. You can end up with an entirely different job and cast of supporting characters for the first chapter, and I had no clue until I saw that people didn't get to experience the greatness of Shitbot.

Puzzles aren't much yet.

Edit: I'm a dummy and you were talking about Life is Strange.

haha yeah I know Dreamfall Chapters is pretty decent I played it

 

[Kimaka]

Great news. It's right before Pillars of Eternity. I was afraid they might conflict.

March is going to be amazing.

Thanks.

 

[Basileus777]

March is going to kill me.

 

[Totobeni]

Book one was awesome. so can't wait. hope the dialogue/writing stay on that awesome quality of book 1.

Here was my review. Best realised high school in a game. It's one of the only games that's coming-of-age which is about friends changing over time so much that you become estranged from them. Reminded me of Ghost World and my own personal experience with childhood friends. It's more a destruction of nostalgia than what the art direction and soundtrack let on. The characters are well-drawn and go beyond the archetypes if you decide to engage with all of them. The environments are incredibly detailed with lots of environmental storytelling that can be easy to miss. The time rewind mechanic allows you to replay choices which is something missing in other games with choices, so experimentation is encouraged with no need for save scumming.

Not to mention it's an absolutely gorgeous autumn game.

 

[Green Yoshi]

It will be 50% longer than Book One. Six hours of playtime is really good for an episodic game.

That sound pretty good considering that by episodic game standards, book 1 was already a pretty decent length.

Considering I took 10 hours on Book One, this bodes well.

 

[michaeltraps]

Surprise PS4 launch announcement at the end of the trailer?

Spoiler

Please?

 

[Lime]

I forgot, how many book chapters will there be in total? I'm waiting on playing this until everything has released.

Agree with this. Game has the chops and has a very unique feel. Probably my current game of 2015. Though we arn't far in.

You have my shield here too. Life is Strange is fucking excellent.

Five books. It is estimated to be finished late this year.

 

[Durante]

I think I'll wait until all episodes are out before playing, I just don't like this episodic format for story-driven games.

 

[Denton]

Same here, I am waiting for full Game of Thrones season, full Kentucky Route Zero, Life is Strange and Dreamfall Chapters. These episodic games sure took off, but it ain't for me.

Fantastic.

Didn't KRZ finish months ago?

 

[Corpekata]

Fantastic.



Didn't KRZ finish months ago?

No, just Act 3 which was really well received and got a lot of buzz so might have semed like it.

 

[LiK]

I need to finish Book One.

 

[Ran rp]

I just started Dreamfall: The Longest Journey the other day. Hopefully Dreamfall Chapters releases on the PS4 soon enough. Edit: I actually just got into the Longest Journey games because of Life is Strange, haha. Mid March is too long of a wait for Episode 2.

 

[exmachina64]

Dammit.

 

[FoneBone]

Maybe completely irrational, but the amount of time between episodes makes me worry that they're going to run out of funding before they finish.

I hope the PS4-version (with Book 1+2) will prevent this.

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Can't wait for this, Book One was great.

 

[dmr87]

Oh yes.

 

[Kiritsugu]

Tomorrow is release day!

 

[jediyoshi]

Revelations 2, Dreamfall Chapters, Life is Strange, Tales of Borderlands, Republique. Episodic games have risen from their slumber and brought female protagonists with it.

 

[Slowdive]

Dreamfall Chapters Book Two: Rebels will be delayed until Thursday, March 12th, at 1900 Oslo headquarters time (CET). That's 11 AM PDT, 2 PM EDT and 6 PM GMT.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Hopefully all is well with the release in 12 hours or so. Looking forward to it.

 

[xenorevlis]

If the "Limited" GTA V servers prevent me and Ray from playing further, I'm jumping into book 2 instead. It's all done and ready to be played

 

[~Kinggi~]

DId this release yet?

 

[Kimaka]

DId this release yet?

Yes, it is out on Steam right now. Don't know about GoG.
