What if WW2 happened in the 21st century?
World War: 2044
World War: 2044 is the world's first 'alt-history sci-fi' webseries. Each video re-imagines a famous WWII battle, but set in the 21st century. What would D-Day look like with modern paratroopers and rocket artillery? How would the attack on Pearl Harbor have played out were it a drone attack?
A new type of alt-history
The WW2044 series is based on a series of viral concept art posts shared by Vincent in 2025. In these posts, Vincent tried to reimagine classic WWII equipment and outfit by mixing it with their modernized variants. The idea proved so popular that we are now developing videos based on the setting.
A blend of animatic and machinima
To realize large battle scenes, we are developing modded video game dioramas depicting large-scale battles. This technique was first introduced in our 2025 'Chinese Civil War Alt-History' documentary.
This technique blends our animatic art style with motion graphics and video game footage to create a story recounting the greatest battles of the World Wars (But not as you know them!).
