14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft, Gearbox Software and The History Channel have announced that a Brothers In Arms-inspired documentary on World War II will premiere on The History Channel. Known for its unprecedented combination of authenticity, compelling story and squad-based action, the Brothers In Arms franchise established itself as a benchmark for military action games quickly after its initial release in March 2005. The two-hour special "BROTHERS IN ARMS" is produced by Foglight Entertainment for The History Channel. The television special, hosted by actor Ron Livingston (Band of Brothers) will premiere on The History Channel on Sunday, December 18th at 8 pm ET/PT.
"Ubisoft is very excited that The History Channel has chosen the Brothers In Arms video game to tell the amazing stories of the Greatest Generation," said Tony Kee, Vice president of Marketing at Ubisoft. "This collaboration between the television and video game industries brings these inspiring stories to life in ways that have never been done before."
The Brothers In Arms video game series depicts the experiences of a squad in the 101st Airborne, 502nd Parachute Infantry during the first days of the Normandy invasion. The 502nd's contributions in June, 1944 featured some of the most significant and harrowing engagements of the European campaign.
