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?

The 'World War 2044' project is based on a series of viral concept art posts shared by Vincent in 2025.

The aim is to create narrative recountings of the great battle of the Second World War - but not as you know them!
