E3 2011: Brothers In Arms: Furious 4 announced

From its E3 press conference, Ubisoft has announced that Gearbox software is working on a new entry in its popular Brothers In Arms series.

Gearbox’s Randy Pittchfork confirmed that Brothers in Arms Furious 4 will be released in the first half of 2012 and will take the series in "a new direction."

The Brothers in Arms franchise has been renowned for its gritty direction that has dropped players into the middle of World War II,” said Adam Novickas, US director of marketing at Ubisoft.

“With Brothers in Arms Furious 4, Gearbox brings the action to a whole new level filled with unexpected twists and over-the-top battles that are sure to please new players and fans alike."

The press release reads:

"Players will use special weaponry and unexpected combat abilities to fight the greatest threat the world has ever faced: an experimental Nazi army conceived in secret by the Third Reich."

Sounds intriguing. We’ll let you know more from the show floor later this week.
