IMGN.PRO and Juggler Games have announced a launch date for My Memory of Us. That’s not the big news though. It was also announced that the game will be narrated by the legendary actor, Patrick Stewart. Check out a trailer below giving us a sample of that narration.
The art style of the game is something magical itself. When you watch the trailer it’s really hard to believe that this is a game and not perhaps a film.
My Memory of Us is a puzzle-based, side-scrolling story game of hope and heroism in the face of absolute terror. The story, narrated by Patrick Stewart begins in The City – a place inspired by pre-Second World War Warsaw, where a young boy and girl from two different worlds come together to be kids, free to play and enjoy life. War breaks out and the children, faced with forced separation, with your help, may find a way to stay together and survive the threat of the evil occupation of their world.
“The story of My Memory of Us is a personal one to us, as our grandparents faced similar oppression World War II. This game is our ode to them and the millions of others who lived and died during this time,” said Mikołaj Pawłowski, CEO, Juggler Games. “So when it came time to cast a narrator, Patrick Stewart was a perfect choice. His amazing acting career spans nearly six decades, and since the very beginning, he has produced incredible and emotional work. His talent and skill provide the right mixture of gravitas and hope, and his performance resonates perfectly with our game.”
Patrick Stewart’s illustrious career has produced unforgettable performances from his award-winning roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company to his work as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men film series. My Memory of Us marks his return to the video game format, having previously lent his voice acting talents to titles that include The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
