Valiant Hearts director reflects on WWI once more with 11-11: Memories Retold

I’m glad this exists

While at Ubisoft, Yoan Fanise explored World War I to great success with Valiant Hearts: The Great War, a 2D adventure game that felt like a real labor of love. He has since left the company and co-founded his own, DigixArt, out of Montpellier. For his next project, Fanise is returning to that same subject matter.

11-11: Memories Retold is a WWI-set “story-driven narrative adventure” made in collaboration with Aardman (Wallace and Gromit) and published by Bandai Namco. Here’s a mood-setting first look:

“From the painted style to the emotional journey we create for the player to revive their heritage, we are pushing the boundaries of what a game can be and hope it will leave a mark on you,” said Fanise.

11-11: Memories Retold is headed to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
