Letters of War heads to Steam as spiritual successor to Valiant Hearts

Letters of War, a 2D narrative adventure inspired by Valiant Hearts: The Great War, will debut on Steam during the summer.

Valiant Hearts was a moving game from Ubisoft. Set in World War I, Valiant Hearts was narrative game with cartoon graphics. The story focused on four people, united by a dog named Walt, who help a young German soldier find his love. It’s a story of survival in war, sacrifice and friendship. The game won numerous awards.

The Steam Page and debut teaser trailer are now live. Letters of War has similar 2D, cartoon-style graphics. The story of the game is based on a real story. It focuses on the story of Liam, a British carpenter who volunteers to fight in World War II, and his daughter Rosie.

The game switches between Liam’s role in key WWII battles and Rosie’s quiet struggle at home, where her father’s letters become her only source of comfort.

The project is being developed by Wood Cabin Games, a small team based in Kazakhstan and the United Kingdom. According to the developers, the game is a way to preserve a personal memory and turn it into something emotional and lasting.

The game will launch in both English and Russian. The wartime drama tells a heartfelt story of love, courage, and loss.

From the beaches of Normandy to the battle for Monte Cassino, players will relive the journey of a soldier in the 8th British Army. All of it is done for Rosie — Liam’s daughter, who copes with life in wartime Britain through the letters she receives from her father.

The team was formed in the summer of 2022 and consists of several people. Before that, they worked as freelancers in their own fields. Letters of War is their first independent title. There are no devs from the Valiant Hearts team working on the title.

The main inspiration behind the game is the story of the lead developer’s grandmother. Now 88, she became the starting point for the project — a way for her to see her father’s memory turned into something meaningful and lasting.
