Ubisoft confirmed yesterday that Valiant Hearts: The Great War™, the puzzle-adventure game set during the World War I made with UbiArt Framework engine, will release on June 25th, 2014. It also posted a new trailer, which by the end listed the plataforms where it is going to be available. The Wii U wasn't among them.

While third party games skipping Wii U hardly sounds as a surprise nowdays, this one got me perplexed.
UbiArt is one of the little hopes of third part support on Wii U, because:
 - It is not very hardware demanding and also seems easier to develop to.
- Rayman Legends, despite not being a hit overall, found on Wii U it second best performance retail wise
  • PS3 - 0.36
  • Wii U - 0.32
  • X360 - 0.26
  • PS4 - 0.12
  • XOne - 0.06
  • PSV - 0.05
- Child of Light debuted at third place on Wii U eShop Charts (5/6/2014)
 - Overall, Ubisoft has been reasonably more supportive than most thirds

 

It could be the case of a late reveal though. We saw that before with CoD: Ghosts and Watch Dogs for an example, not being announced in their reveals. They could be waiting for Mario Kart 8 or E3 too

What do you think? (Going to add a poll soon enough)

I thought it was weird too, why do Child of Light but not Valiant Hearts

Maybe, I wouldn't be surprised but this seems like a small title that should be on the wiiU cause it shouldn't cost that much to port it... Oh well... Whoes left? Activision?

Damn i hope not, even when i only had a PS3, never enjoyed then.

Tecmo Koei teased another major collaboration after Hyrule Warriors, i think.

I don't think it was ever announced as coming to Wii U, and I don't think that will change. I was more surprised that Child of Light did.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Guessing that's a typo?

That trailer is funny. Ends with "some made it, some did not". Its more like "hardly any made it, most got slaughtered as human meat shields".

Pretty sure it was confirmed to be missing Wii U when it was announced. Might get a port if Child of Light does well though.

Indeed, thank you. XD

Child of ligth:
-Simple Story about a princess
-Japanese RPG
-A good use of wiiu second screen to control partner

Valiant hearts
-Set on world war 1
-Story about death, killing, surviving
-No use of second screen at all

I think ubisoft is sending a clear menssage about who they believe is the audience of wiiu, which is sad, but is also shared from other developers.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
