Life is Strange 2 has had a bit of a non-traditional schedule. While episodic, the episodes seem to be coming out at a kind of a strange pace, with a preview episode releasing during E3, the official first episode hitting in September, and a second episode coming out months later on January 24.

That means there will be about 119 days between the first two episodes. In their self-described pursuit of quality, Dontnod is actively eschewing the traditional monthly episodic model, which honestly made very little sense in the first place. The developer emphasized the quality aspect when they initially narrowed down the release date to January.
