Ready at Dawn, the creator behind the upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive action title, The Order: 1886, has said it’s eager for players to brush up on their history after playing the game.
Speaking on the latest PlayStation Blogcast, game director Dana Jan spoke on how The Order: 1886’s London Victorian backdrop provides an ideal opportunity for those seeking to find out more about this particular setting.
In fact, he hopes that gamers who didn’t perhaps excel at history during their education to read up on the facts and find out where the developers deviated from the truth during this rich and iconic time period.
"That’s one of the most alluring parts of building a franchise that is historically based, is like there’s just the details, the amount of information about what happened, the events, the characters, the people who were really influential on the world, the places where all these things took place," commented Jan.
"The world as we know it is so rich and I think it’s a shame that a lot of people maybe don’t know a lot about it because people like myself who didn’t excel necessarily at history, but this game gives us an opportunity to actually like, throw people into a world that is of a different time and expose them to both fact and fiction and let them kind of digest it and if they’re excited about it maybe they go and read up more about it and see like, where did we bend the truth and where did we stick to it? What’s reality? I think that’s really fun for us to play with."
The Order: 1886 is due out on February 20, 2015.
