Bandai Namco, publisher of the “Tekken” and “Soulcalibur” series, is partnering with independent developer DigixArt and “Wallace & Gromit” creator Aardman Animation Studios on a new story-driven World War I adventure game called “11-11: Memories Retold,” the companies announced Wednesday.
As of right now, details on “11-11” are relatively scant, but based on the game’s reveal trailer (seen below) it appears to be going for a striking, painterly aesthetic, contrasting the drab colors of battlefields with the beauty of flowers.
“Engaging audiences with compelling stories through animation is at the heart of what we are trying to do at Aardman,” founder Dave Sproxton said in a press release. “With this project we want to produce an emotionally rich experience with distinctive visual character to help you understand what war is all about.”

"Valiant Hearts: The Great War," a new adventure game by a 10-person team at Ubisoft Montpelier, might be the most interesting new thing coming out of the mega-publisher's Digital Days event last week.
I don't mean any disrespect to "Assassin's Creed III: Liberation HD" or "Child of Light," which were also announced at the show. It's just that "Liberation" is an admittedly robust-seeming port of a Ps Vita game, and "Child of Light" was let out of the bag last month.
With five protagonists, gorgeous art direction, and a puzzle-solving Rottweiler companion, "Valiant Hearts" takes the day. Here's the game's first trailer:
Each of the five characters has a special ability that will help them traverse the Western Front's labyrinth of trenches, shrapnel, and chlorine gas while helping Karl reunite with his long lost love. The story is partially based on the real-world letters of Felix Chazal, a French soldier...
