Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake coming in 2024

By Jess Reyes December 7, 2023

The reveal trailer for Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, the latest iteration of the award-winning adventure game of the same name from 2013, debuted at The Game Awards 2023 as the first game in its Opening Act Preshow. Swedish director Josef Fares will take charge of the remake of his original game alongside developer Avantgarden.

“It is a privilege to see new life coming into Brothers,” Fares said of the remake. “Avantgarden have done a great job to bring this story back for a new generation to experience.”

The Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons remake sticks close to the original source material, just with more quality-of-life features and completely redone graphics. It looks like something straight out of a Pixar movie, with finely drawn scenery and character models, versus the more bland, blocky landscapes and avatars from the original. The remake also incorporates a co-op mode where you and a friend can play as the two brothers, similar to Fares’ other award-winning project, It Takes Two.

Like the original, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons stars the brother pair Naia and Naiee and follows their journey to save their father from a fatal illness. The two of them have to overcome life-threatening obstacles like tiptoeing along cliffsides, sneaking past trolls, and more during the fairy tale-like adventure.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake will launch on February 28, 202,4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG.

Splatoon 3’s Side Order DLC shows that the series can do it all

An Inkling shoots an enemy spawner in Splatoon 3 Side Order.

When I reviewed Splatoon 3 in 2022, I found myself impressed by what a robust suite of content it offered at launch. It had a solid single-player campaign, great competitive multiplayer, a killer PVE mode in Salmon Run, and even a fun card minigame. All of those disparate modes meshed together perfectly to make Splatoon 3 the kind of game you could pick away at for hundreds of hours. And with its latest DLC, called Side Order, that's more true than ever.

The narrative-focused roguelite brings an entirely new experience to Splatoon. It has players trying to clear randomized runs through a 30-floor tower full of challenges. While that task can initially be cleared in a few hours, a robust postgame turns Side Order into a full-on game within a game. If Splatoon 3 wasn't already the Switch game that offered the most bang for your buck, it is now. And that's all thanks to an ingenious gameplay hook that's proven to be Nintendo's most valuable creation of the past decade.
Order in chaos
In the shooter's latest DLC, players find themselves in a dystopian version of Inkopolis Square that's devoid of color. At the center of it all is the ominous Spire of Order, which is ruled by a rogue machine that's hell-bent on ridding the world of chaos. For those who remember Splatoon 2's final, world-changing Order versus Chaos Splatfest, it's an excellent bit of narrative payoff that shows how players are tangibly shaping Nintendo's inky world.
