Sometimes there are surprises that you don’t expect at all. This is the case this time with Ubisoft which is launching a new game which should delight more than one person. We will explain everything to you.
Ubisoft recently launched a surprise for video game fans: Unknown Soldiers: Brothers in Arms, the sequel to Unknown Soldiers: Memoirs of the Great War, is now available on major platforms after being exclusive to Netflix. Indeed, this game, praised for its educational and emotional approach to the First World War, was previously limited to mobile devices as an exclusive since February 2023.
Ubisoft makes Unknown Soldiers: Brothers in Arms available to everyone
Unknown Soldiers: Brothers in Arms continues the story of its predecessor by following four unsung heroes of the war, mixing familiar faces and new characters. The game stands out for its graphic novel-inspired visuals and simple yet engaging gameplay, aiming to touch players’ hearts while showcasing some of the most significant battles of World War I. We remember how touching the first game could be… It seems to be the same thing here.
In addition to the individual version of Brothers in Arms sold at 14.99 euros, Ubisoft also offers Unknown Soldiers: The Collection for 24.99 euros, which includes both titles in the series, offering a complete experience on the horrors and lessons of the Great War. The game’s availability on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC and Nintendo Switch, marks the end of its mobile exclusivity and allows a much wider audience to discover this poignant story. The new launch trailer released by Ubisoft highlights the legendary American regiment of World War I, the Harlem Hellfighters, illustrating their significant contribution to jazz music.
While many video games expose the tragedies of war, Unknown Soldiers: Memoirs of the Great War and Brothers in Arms stand out for their ability to chronicle the struggles of the First World War through the eyes of ordinary characters immersed in the terrifying chaos of conflict. By combining fiction and the harrowing realities of war, these games provide a rich source for learning about the real history of conflict. There is no question here of rushing headlong into a trench like Battlefield 1. It is really the experience of the men and women of the conflict that matters. And we can only welcome this narrative choice.
