Evaluation

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a self-contained narrative adventure game that originally launched on September 3, 2013. The store description presents it as a complete, standalone story with no mention of additional content, DLC, or ongoing updates. The game has no DLC listed and has never had a post-launch content cycle. The developer news from early 2024 is entirely focused on the release of a separate product — Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake — which launched on February 28, 2024, as its own distinct Steam listing. This remake is a rebuilt version of the original using Unreal Engine 5, not an update or expansion to this original game. None of the news posts indicate any new content being added to this original 2013 release. The original game launched as a complete, finished product and has remained so. There is no announced or unreleased content associated with this listing.

About this game

Guide two brothers on an epic fairy tale journey from visionary Swedish film director, Josef Fares and top-tier developer Starbreeze Studios.

Control both brothers at once as you experience co-op play in single player mode, like never before.

Solve puzzles, explore the varied locations and fight boss battles, controlling one brother with each thumbstick.

A man, clinging to life. His two sons, desperate to cure their ailing father, are left with but one option. They must set out upon a journey to find and bring back the "Water of Life" as they come to rely on one another to survive. One must be strong where the other is weak, brave where the other is fearful, they must be... Brothers.

This is one journey you will never forget.
