Valiant Hearts: The Great War, the UbiArt-powered 2D puzzle-adventure game set during the first World War, will arrive on consoles and PC June 25, Ubisoft announced today.

Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind Beyond Good & Evil and Rayman Legends Valiant Hearts tells the story of five lives that become intertwined over the course of the four-year war, the four human characters led across the dismal landscape of war by an unwaveringly loyal canine character.

Not much else is known about Ubisift’s fourth UbiArt-powered project (the engine behind, most recently, Child of Light, as well as Rayman Legends and Rayman Origins) beyond the vague connotation its genre descriptor conveys. The game itself, of course, will look and play in an art style identical to the trailer seen above, as typical of UbiArt Framework titles, though how puzzle-adventure gameplay will manifest in The Great War remains unknown.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War will be available for $14.99 when it launches June 25 across PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3, and Xbox 360.
