Valiant Hearts: Coming Home has just shadow dropped across consoles and PC. Valiant Hearts: Coming Home is the sequel to Ubisoft’s award-winning puzzle adventure game Valiant Hearts: The Great War.

Previously released in February 2023 as a Netflix Games exclusive, Coming Home expands on the narrative of its predecessor and once again follows the story of four unsung war heroes, featuring a mix of both familiar faces and new characters.
