Ubisoft Drops Surprise Launch for Sequel Game

Highlights

  • Ubisoft's sequel, Valiant Hearts: Coming Home, previously exclusive to Netflix Games, is now available on major platforms.
  • Expanding on its predecessor, the game follows unsung war heroes with unique visuals and gameplay.
  • Valiant Hearts: The Collection offers both titles for $24.99, delving into WW1 battles and the heroic Harlem Hellfighters.

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home has recently made a surprise debut on consoles and PC. Serving as the follow-up to Ubisoft's acclaimed puzzle adventure Valiant Hearts: The Great War, Coming Home garnered positive reviews but flew under the radar due to its mobile exclusivity upon initial release. Now, with its launch on mainstream platforms, the game has the potential to captivate a broader audience.

Initially released in February 2023 as a Netflix Games exclusive, Coming Home builds upon its predecessor's narrative, spotlighting four unsung war heroes while introducing new characters. Boasting a distinctive graphic novel art style and engaging gameplay, Coming Home promises to tug at players' heartstrings and shed light on pivotal World War 1 battles.

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home Breaks Free from Mobile Exclusivity

Valiant Hearts: Coming Home is now accessible on PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Players seeking a comprehensive experience can opt for Valiant Hearts: The Collection, bundling both titles from the series. Coming Home is priced at $14.99, while The Collection can be acquired for $24.99.

Accompanying the launch is a brief trailer showcasing gameplay snippets of the famed US WW1 unit, the Harlem Hellfighters, prominently featured in Valiant Hearts: Coming Home. This African American infantry group played a pivotal role in boosting troop morale and shaping jazz music. Additionally, the Harlem Hellfighters bravely combated the discrimination faced by African American soldiers in the military.

While numerous war-themed games populate the market, few capture the essence of World War 1 as poignantly as Valiant Hearts: The Great War and Coming Home. Through the eyes of four ordinary characters navigating the horrors of war, these games blend fiction with the harsh realities of conflict, offering a compelling lens into historical events.
