The Final War started in 1912 (Spoilers)

[LassieJodie]

The Earthmover's terminal entry says that The Final War lasted a whopping 200 years. Ultrakill (presumably) takes place in 2112. Which means that The Final War started in 1912 at the latest.

Its probably after 2112, since the intro states that the latest update was on 2112.08.06, so it could be that they stopped updateing it fron that day

The V2 lore entry says that V1's production run was cancelled because of the establishment of the New Peace, so that update is presumably about the time the Final War ended. (and ergo OP is right about when the Final War started)

Also, between 1912 being very close to 1914 and the references to trench warfare, I'm guessing the implication is supposed to be that in the Ultrakill universe World War I really was the "war to end all wars", which I just love as a poetic thing.

Ya know if the final war really is just WW1 but really long then that would mean WW2 never happened in Ultrakill's lore.

♥♥♥♥, forgot that part

This would definitely explain the Guttermen / Guttertanks having German writing on them, and the Earthmovers having Japanese writing on them

Presumably the Final War was basically just WW1 but the stalemate kept going on thanks to the Germans making blood fueled robots, however later Japan still ended up militaristic and joining the war, and probably due to the fact that the focus on tech was on blood fueled combat robots meant that nukes were never invented so they still played a major role past 1945

I wonder if V1 and V2 are german too since the names kinda evoke the V1 and V2 rockets

ultrakill lore is wild

Sill wondering if Jesus exists/exsisted in the Ultrakill universe

So this means that why the terminals are playing olden day music and why some of the tech that v1 and or some other machines use is kinda old tech. Its to lure them (obviously) But due to them being war machine from a long time ago this music would basically bring back old memories. Which prob explains "Do robots dream of eternal sleep" And prob the entire Violence layer is causing some old memories to rise back up in v1s cpu due to the songs names and some levels names seeming more like its v1 saying the levels name or music name. while sometimes the terminal kinda gets back into control of V1. but due to me saying this i know think that Hell is getting more control of V1. (idfk where im going with this)
