In the game, players will take part in D-Day as a Screaming Eagle, as the story follows Sergeants Baker and Hartsock and their squad of paratroopers during the Normandy invasion. Brothers In Arms D-Day will allow players to progress through the game's 12-mission campaign alone, or though an enhanced co-op mode (Skirmish). Brothers in Arms D-Day is being developed by Ubisoft Shanghai in collaboration with Gearbox Software and will be available in fall 2006. - Representatives from German publisher 10tacle Studios have announced that the company has secured the rights to a number of titles previously held by European-headquartered game publisher CDV. Games transferred to 10tacle include Nintendo DS strategy title Panzer Tactics, as well as PC titles Jack Keane and War Front. On August 18, CDV transferred all present and future rights, in particular all trademark rights, to these titles to GDD Games Development and Distribution GmbH. After acquiring all of the rights for the three games from GDD, 10tacle Studios also took over the development contracts with the game's development studios - Digital Reality, Deck 13 and Sproing. The real-time strategy game War Front and the Jack Kean adventure game will expand on the company's PC line-up, while Panzer Tactics will serve as the company's first Nintendo DS offering. - Electronic Arts today announced that it will be bringing its popular boxing game, Fight Night Round 3, to the PlayStation 3 this holiday season in North America.
