Three mobile platform games were made by Gameloft: Hour of Heroes, Global Front and Sons of War. At PAX 2011 Randy Pitchford, President of Gearbox, confirmed that a continuation of Baker's story is in the works. However, poorer than predicted sales and a surprise hit for developer Gearbox with Borderlands have likely put the title at lower priority for development. The ending of the third game hinted at a sequel taking place during The Battle of the Bulge. Among all this, the game also explores the gradual deterioration of Baker's mental stability and the onset of PTSD, as Baker struggles with balancing his responsibilities to his squad, with his attempts to be "friends" with them, along with making some horrifying revelations about events from the previous games, which could destroy the trust between him and his men. The events depicted include the failure of the 101st to take the bridge at Son before the Germans could blow it up, the liberation of Eindhoven, and the evacuation after the failure of the Operation Market Garden.
The third game, Hell's Highway, puts the player back in control of Sergeant Matt Baker during the ill-fated Operation Market Garden. After Red's promotion, his squad clears out the remnant of the German forces from Carentan and moves towards Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte to give the 82nd Airborne some maps of the German defenses surrounding the area and decides to stay and help take the castle. It shows some of the events in the first game from Red's perspective, leading to his promotion to Sergeant after the Battle of Bloody Gulch. The game uses a suppression mechanic that requires the player to use Baker and his squad to suppress and flank the enemy.Įarned In Blood puts you in control of "Red" Hartsock, a Corporal in Baker's squad. Baker can tell his men where to take cover and who to fire at. The game depicts the midnight jump before D-Day, the fighting on the way to the French city of Carentan, its capture from the Germans and the subsequent defense against the German counter-attack at Hill 30.
The first title in the series, Road to Hill 30, puts you in control of Sergeant Matt Baker, a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne of the US Army during the Normandy invasion. D-Day, DS, Art of War, N-Gage, Double Time, Hour of Heroes, and Global Front.
