11-11: Memories Retold

Valiant Hearts creator revisits The Great War with 11-11: Memories Retold

11-11: Memories Retold is a haunting World War I game that will be the next major title from DigixArt, the French studio whose creators crafted the memorable Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Lost in Harmony.

DigixArt is making a narrative-driven experience set in World War I. It is collaborating with Aardman Animation Studios and Bandai Namco Entertainment. The companies released a teaser trailer today that shows beautiful watercolor art, with pictures of poppies amid the war-torn trenches of World War I. In the video, a British soldier recites In Flanders Fields, a moving poem by Canadian writer John McCrae, whose powerful words capture the view of the fields from the point of view of dead soldiers. It is one of my favorite poems.
