Valiant Hearts is the latest game from Ubisoft Montpellier. Created with Ubisoft's UbiArt Framework engine, which powers Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends and the upcoming Child of Light, Valiant Hearts is set during World War I and follows five individuals attempting to survive the war. Each of their fates are tied together by one medical service dog.

Valiant Hearts relies on mixture of platforming and environmental puzzle solving, and uses a picture-in-picture comic book presentation style to propel the plot. There are also light stealth elements, as evidenced by a scene in which one of the characters tosses a rock to distract a guard.

Presentation is exaggerated in Valiant Hearts: Burly German soldiers drink beer and bite on big pretzels, lending slight levity to what is typically a somber setting.

Valiant Hearts is in development at Ubisoft Montpelier for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. The game will be released on digital stores sometime in 2014.
