11-11 Memories Retold’s animal companions will bridge conflict in WW I

11-11: Memories Retold is the latest game in the indie odyssey of Yoan Fanise, who left Ubisoft after 14 years to co-found the French game studio DigixArt Entertainment with his wife Anne-Laure Fanise. Their mission is to make “meaningful” video games.

Fanise previously created the music game Lost in Harmony, and while at Ubisoft he was co-creator of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, which won numerous awards for its tale of World War I. Now DigixArt is revisiting the war with a narrative-driven experience in partnership with collaborator Aardman Animation Studios and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment.
