Ubisoft and Gearbox have announced that it has shipped the anticipated "Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood" to retail stores.

"Brothers In Arms Earned In Blood adds new features and builds upon the elements that made Brothers In Arms Road to Hill 30(TM) a runaway success. Brothers In Arms features a new single-player narrative, new multiplayer missions, the all-new online cooperative-style Skirmish mode, and new weapons and vehicles.

"Our dream with Brothers In Arms is to use the video game medium to experience what it was like for the soldiers of the 101st Airborne in World War II," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "With Earned in Blood, we've created a bigger, better and memorable true story experience that puts you into the boots of a real soldier with a real squad in a real war.""
