Ubisoft announced today that Valiant Hearts: The Great War, which is a 2D platformer, will be released on the 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC in 2014. It's based on actual letters from WWI. The team that's behind Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends is working on this one, so don't expect a visually stunning game-Expect a Rayman-esque game full of fun and puzzles.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War tells the story of four strangers who come together on the battlefield to help a young German soldier find love. The story is focused on survival, sacrifice, and friendship, Ubisoft said.
The five playable characters will solve puzzles and sneak through enemy lines alongside a "faithful canine companion" for certain periods of the story. The story is set during a "dark" time in history, but Ubisoft pointed out that there are lighthearted and comical moments throughout the entire game.

I actually think that this looks like it could be a really fun game. I'm curious to see how the incorporate the letters from WWI inspiration part. From the trailer, it looks like it may touch on some fairly sobering topics (obviously, it's war) but I'm interested to see how they will keep it lighthearted and comical throughout.

WoW. Thats nuts how it is actually based on real WW1 letters. I think games like these are good, emotional linking games.
 
I actually think the last Rayman game on 360 was gorgeous looking, the colors and graphics were pretty good considering the kind of world they were trying to depict.
 
I find myself really tired of artsy fartsy platformers... But then I just finished Saints Row 4 and I think that is GOW.
 
I dotn mind them really. The only 2 that I ahve really played were Brais and LIMBO. IMO LIMBO is one of the best indies games ever made this gen.
 
Huge fan of Limbo, but I think Shadow Complex was my favorite arcade game this generation. Never got the sequel I wanted though! :mad:
I recommend everyone play shadow complex! Think side scrolling MGS
 
I have never played that game. I hear praise about it though lol
 
This should be a nice game since it is coming from Ubisoft. I love these guys for the amazing mixture of AAA and casual games they make.
 
It looks neat. 2D platformers are getting a little over saturated though, aren't they? It seems like you hear about a new one every week.
