Ubisoft Montpellier is developing a 2D animated comic adventure called Valiant Hearts: The Great War. It’s about—you guessed it—World War 1.
Valiant Hearts tells the story of four characters who are drawn together during the events of the war, alongside their “faithful canine companion.” Friendship, love, sacrifice and tragedy befall each as they help each other to retain their humanity against the horrors brought on by war.
The game is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, known for their work on critically-acclaimed titles like Beyond Good & Evil, Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends. The title uses UbiArt Framework which allows them to efficiently animate the game’s comic-book style, which consists of a wide-ranging color palette – from the dark trenches to green forests and snowy fields, and provides stunning scenic variety and visual contrast.
Ubisoft has dated the game for a June 25 release on PC and consoles.
Grab some tissues (it’s sad) and watch the trailer below for further story details.
