Gearbox and Ubisoft partner up to bring WWII shooter to desktops.
Ubisoft announced this week a long-term deal with award-winning developer Gearbox Software to publish a new military franchise: Brothers in Arms. The game has a tentative release of December 2004.
"The WWII theme is one of the fastest growing segments of the military shooter market and we believe that Brothers in Arms is the ideal title to expand Ubisoft's new catalog of war games," said Yves Guillemot, CEO and President of Ubisoft. "We were blown away by the immersive and realistic combat we experienced when playing this game and anybody who knows the reputation of Gearbox Software will understand the magnitude of this deal."
The game puts you in the shoes of Sgt. Matt Baker, a D-Day paratrooper squad leader, and asks you to lead the squad as you balance their lives with the success of the mission.
