UbiSoft reveal 'Brothers In Arms' double bill

UbiSoft and developer Gearbox Software has announced its multi-million selling Brothers In Arms franchise is heading for Nintendo Wii and DS.

Gamers will experience World War II through the stories of Sergeants Baker and Hartsock and their squad of paratroopers during the Normandy invasion.

Brothers In Arms Double Time for the Wii will make full use of the motion-sending controller and is scheduled for release in the autumn, while Brothers In Arms DS, out this summer, will utilise the format's touch-screen to control the squad.

“Brothers In Arms on the Wii and DS systems is really exciting for us,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “I am a huge fan of both systems and thrilled about making games for the two platforms. In the entire space of first-person shooters on video game systems, Brothers In Arms really lends itself to both the Wii and DS interfaces. Imagine using the Wii Remote to give actual hand signals or aiming with the DS stylus from a covered position. That’s what you can look forward to with Brothers In Arms Double Time and Brothers In Arms DS.”
