In the run-up to the release of the game’s season finale later today, Square Enix has posted a launch trailer to their YouTube channel (see above for the full video – be warned of possible spoilers for Episodes 1 through 4).

The fifth episode, titled Polarized, concludes a dramatic turn of events for Max Caulfield, the photography student at Blackwell Academy who finds out she has the ability to rewind time.

As the beginning of this trailer shows (with scenes taken from the previous episode, as all Life is Strange trailers have done), Max is in some pretty serious danger, even life-threatening. Her investigation of the disappearance of Rachel Amber has led to Max’s capture by the very person who is likely behind Rachel’s disappearance.

The trailer features many of the characters the player has met over the past four episodes, many of whom players will have very mixed feelings about.

Also featured are some of the major events that have come to pass in Arcadia Bay – freak snow flurries, mass whale beachings, and the ominous cyclone heading for town.

The finale to Dontnod Entertainment’s breakout hit drops later today and will be available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Steam.
