Video: Valiant Hearts live stream

See Ubisoft's Great War adventure in action from 5pm BST.

Four days before the centenary of the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Ubisoft is revealing its interactive tribute to the soldiers of the First World War with Valiant Hearts. Utilising the same UbiArt engine behind the shockingly beautiful recent Rayman games as well as Child of Light, it's a touching blend of puzzles and adventure, with a dog thrown in for good measure. There'll be more details on what we thought when our review goes live at 5pm BST.

Ian Higton will be streaming the first 60 minutes of the game from 5pm BST, too, so feel free to check that out below - though be warned, inevitable spoilers will ensue.
