Starting today, both Valiant Hearts: Coming Home and Valiant Hearts: The Collection are now available.

The first installment of these two titles, Valiant Hearts: The Great War ties together the stories of five different characters as they overcome the struggles and horrors of World War I. Taking the spotlight is Karl, who was previously expelled from France and drafted to the German army.

Meanwhile, Valiant Hearts: Coming Home continues a dramatic narrative during World War I, putting the spotlight on four different interconnected stories: 

  • James is a member of the historic Harlem Hellfighters looking for his older brother Freddie 
  • The nurse Anna’s returns to her work tending the wounded 
  • Ernst is a German diver; and George is a British aviator
  • Finally, the good dog Walt returns to help players with puzzles and exploration

Van Nguyen, QC tester at Ubisoft Da Nang, added:

“One of my favorite parts of the project was working with the diverse cast of characters with various cultural backgrounds. Ensuring their portrayal aligns with their historical context was a thought-provoking aspect of the testing process that involved research, sensitivity, and attention to detail to guarantee respectful and accurate representation.”
