Much like the original 2013 title, the remake follows two brothers as they search for a cure for their father’s mysterious disease.

The Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons world is set in a gorgeous fantasy world and is considered by many to be one of the best examples of video games as an art form. The surprise announcement of the remake is welcome, as it makes the title accessible to a newer generation of players.

Despite being largely similar to the original, developer Avantgarden has added a local co-op multiplayer mode to the game, allowing up to two players to play together simultaneously.

Other gameplay details have not been announced, but it would be safe to assume that the core structure will remain unchanged. Additional refinements to the visuals, camera work, and controls are to be expected, and they will likely be in line with modern remakes.
