A tale of four characters whose lives get tangled up in the trenches and on the front lines during World War I, Valiant Hearts comes from a small team at Ubisoft Montpellier (Rayman Legends, Beyond Good & Evil) and is built on the UbiArt Framework. With a stunning comic-book art style and a wide range of settings, Valiant Hearts brings the war to life through a series of story-driven, puzzle-platform levels. Players will take control of the French farmer Emile, who hopes to return to his daughter; the American volunteer Freddie, who’s on a path of revenge; the Belgian nurse Anna, who remains unflinching in the face of the frontline devastation; and the German soldier Karl, who’s fighting for his life – and the chance to see his wife and child again. These four find themselves thrust together, alongside their loyal canine companion Walt.
