Ubisoft has announced a new World War II shooter called Brothers in Arms, which will be released on consoles and PCs. Developed by Gearbox Software, the game is claimed to be "the most realistic and authentic shooter ever," with real battlefields recreated from aerial reconnaissance images, US Army Signal Corps photos, and eye-witness accounts of Normandy. The game will be based on a true story, and puts you in the role of Sergeant Matt Baker, a D-Day paratrooper squad leader.

"Ubisoft's proven know-how publishing realistic, tactical shooters make an ideal partnership with Gearbox as we create this new franchise," said Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox Software. "With years of research and game design innovation supporting this title, gamers should be ready for an authentic story, a fresh game play design and the ultimate WWII combat experience."

Brothers in Arms is slated for release on consoles and PC starting Holiday 2004. The company has recently opened an official site.
