Now you can experience the remake of a popular indie adventure from 2013 on various platforms including the Playstation 5. With the launch trailer, fans are already preparing for another emotional journey.
Which remake is this about? Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is the indie adventure from a Swedish development studio that originally came out in 2013. The remake was released on February 28, 2024, on platforms including PS5, Xbox, and Steam.
Those who play on the Playstation 5 and use Playstation Plus can secure the game Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons at a 20% discount until March 5, 2024. In this case, you only pay €15.99 instead of the full €19.99.
The remake promises not only better graphics and revised controls but also aims to provide a fresh and emotional experience with newly recorded music:
What adventure awaits you? Like in the original, the game follows the story of two brothers who embark on an exciting journey to find the last chance to heal their sick father. In search of the “Water of Life,” they must work together, solve puzzles, and face various enemies.
As players, you always control one of the two brothers. This promises an interesting co-op gameplay, which you can more or less take on yourself as a single player.
However, unlike the original, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons can now also be experienced in local co-op mode. Each player takes on the role of one brother, allowing you to face the challenges and puzzles of their journey together.
The remake is set to offer you updated characters and landscapes, designed for the latest generation of graphics, performance, and gameplay. An interesting aspect will also be the difference from the original soundtrack, which has been recorded by a live orchestra for the remake. You can already get a taste of how it sounds and fits into the entire game in the launch trailer.
Players brace for tears
How are fans reacting to the remake? Reading the comments under the trailer (via YouTube), it becomes clear that especially fans of the original are already preparing their tissues for the remake.
