Ubisoft announces a June 25th release date for Valiant Hearts: The Great War, a platformer set during World War I based on actual letters sent home by soldiers at the time. The game is coming to Windows, Xbox One & 360, and PlayStation 3 & 4 for a suggested price of $14.99. They mark the occasion with a new trailer showing off the game's comic-style art, and here's the announcement:

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is the story of crossed destinies and broken love in a world torn apart by war. The emotional journey follows four characters inextricably drawn together over the course of the game as they brave the battles and difficulties of the Great War alongside their faithful canine companion. Friendship, love, sacrifice and tragedy befall each as they help each other to retain their humanity against the horrors brought on by war.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is being developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, known for their work on critically-acclaimed titles like Beyond Good & Evil®, Rayman Origins® and Rayman® Legends. The title uses UbiArt Framework which allows them to efficiently animate the game’s comic-book style, which consists of a wide-ranging color palette – from the dark trenches to green forests and snowy fields, and provides stunning scenic variety and visual contrast.
