Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake coming in 2024

By Jess Reyes December 7, 2023

The reveal trailer for Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake, the latest iteration of the award-winning adventure game of the same name from 2013, debuted at The Game Awards 2023 as the first game in its Opening Act Preshow. Swedish director Josef Fares will take charge of the remake of his original game alongside developer Avantgarden.

“It is a privilege to see new life coming into Brothers,” Fares said of the remake. “Avantgarden have done a great job to bring this story back for a new generation to experience.”

The Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons remake sticks close to the original source material, just with more quality-of-life features and completely redone graphics. It looks like something straight out of a Pixar movie, with finely drawn scenery and character models, versus the more bland, blocky landscapes and avatars from the original. The remake also incorporates a co-op mode where you and a friend can play as the two brothers, similar to Fares’ other award-winning project, It Takes Two.

Like the original, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons stars the brother pair Naia and Naiee and follows their journey to save their father from a fatal illness. The two of them have to overcome life-threatening obstacles like tiptoeing along cliffsides, sneaking past trolls, and more during the fairy tale-like adventure.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake will launch on February 28, 202,4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG.

How to play left-handed in Counter-Strike 2

Unless you're a lefty, you may not notice that every shooter, including Counter-Strike 2, always has you playing as a right-handed character. While it may not seem like a big deal, it just feels awkward for people who primarily use their left hands to get used to seeing games that way, especially when previous versions of this game allowed you to play as a southpaw. And, if you're playing at the highest level, swapping hands can make peaking corners much easier. While it was missing for almost the first year of the game, Counter -trike 2 has finally allowed players to swap hands and play however is more natural and comfortable for them. Here is how to set your preferred handedness in Counter-Strike 2 and swap it on the fly.
How to swap handedness

If you want to set your character to always play either left- or right-handed, the best way is to set your preferred handedness in the settings. Open up your settings and go into Game > Item and scroll down to the Preferred Viewmodel Left/Right Handedness option. The drop-down menu will let you choose between right and left so you will always default to that view.
