IMMERSIVE REMEMBRANCE:
In November, Aardman Animations, BANDAI NAMCO Ent. Europe and DigixArt released the story-driven World War I experience 11-11: Memories Retold, timed to the 100th anniversary of the Armistice. The emotionally engaging game is told from the POVs of two protagonists on opposite sides of the lines: A pacifist German driven by duty (voiced by Homeland’s Sebastian Koch), and a Canadian-American photographer who joins up and quickly discovers the grim reality of the frontlines (Elijah Wood). The game is set in an impressionistic watercolor world and features a poignant soundtrack composed by Olivier Derivière (Vampyr, Assassin’s Creed IV - Freedom Cry). [PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC]
