Evaluation

Valiant Hearts: The Great War launched on June 25, 2014 as a self-contained narrative adventure game. On May 24, 2024, Ubisoft released "Valiant Hearts: Coming Home" as an expansion on Steam, adding new story chapters featuring the original cast alongside new gameplay modes including flight and music sections. This is the only major content release recorded since the base game launched. Following that expansion, the most recent developer activity was the addition of Steam Achievements on April 14, 2025, a housekeeping update with no indication of future content. The store description makes no mention of planned updates, additional DLC, or ongoing development. No unreleased DLC appears on the store, and Ubisoft has made no public statements about further content. The game appears to be a complete package as of the Coming Home expansion in May 2024.
