The Season Finale and boxed editions were announced for December 3, 2019, in Europe, with the Americas’ physical release announced for February 4, 2020; those announcements did not by themselves confirm delivery.

Episode 4: Faith launched on August 22, continuing Sean’s search for Daniel. Episode 3: Wastelands and Episode 2: Rules also shipped, extending the Diaz brothers’ journey with two substantial story chapters.

• Episode 2: Rules: Released on January 24, the second episode expanded the brothers’ story; a February patch also fixed the PlayStation 4 save-deletion issue that could occur after completing it.
• Episode access: The Season Pass no longer defined the only route through the story: Episode 2: Rules became available for separate purchase, while episodes could be bought, skipped, or played independently. Skipping an episode generated a randomly selected save state from pre-made scenarios.
