Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondlooks to be taking a lot of what made theMedal of Honorseries great while pushing the series in a bold new direction.Above and Beyondis an entirely VR-focused first person shooter. However, to make sure the series stays grounded in its roots, Respawn has brought back the series’ original director, Peter Hirschman. Hirschman wrote and directed the originalMedal of Honorback in 1999, and is featured heavily in Oculus’ latest YouTube video discussingAbove and Beyond’s Gallery.
The video details what players can expect from the Gallery. The description describes the Gallery as “a powerful collection of short documentary films featuring WWII veterans that players will be able to view within the game.” The video also shows some of the veterans who will be featured in the Gallery, along with some of the real locations where certain historical battles took place. Though theMedal of Honorseries has laid dormantfor over eight years now, it’s refreshing to see the series get new life once again through VR.
Medal of Honor: Above and Beyondwill release for PC and Oculus on December 11.
