The previous teasers for "Polarized" contained scenes from the past episodes, with new footage revealed in the fifth teaser.
To prepare for the coming of "Polarized," Dontnod released an update Thursday on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, which contained several changes to prepare the game's engine for Episode 5, as well as some minor fixes and polish-ups for Episodes, 1, 2, 3, and 4.
With the teaser hinting "a storm is coming," "Polarized," which will be "Life is Strange's" final episode, is likely to be its biggest one yet.
"Life is Strange," which was initially released in January with Episode 1, "Chrysalis," explores the life of the game's main protagonist, Maxine Caulfield, who discovers she can "rewind time" at any given moment, enabling her to re-enact her previous actions in a "butterfly effect."
The game, which was lauded favorably by critics, won the Develop Industry Excellence Award this year, as well as nominations for Best Original Game, Storytelling, Audio, Gaming Moment and Performance at the Golden Joystick Awards.
Since it launched, it ranked fifth among popular PS 3 and PS 4 video games for February and sold one million copies by July.
"Polarized" is expected to be launched on October 20.
