Ubisoft: Child of Light: Ultimate Edition and Valiant Hearts: The Great War announced for the Nintendo Switch
Child of Light: Ultimate Edition
Last week, Ubisoft announced that Child of Light was headed to the Nintendo Switch, as Child of Light: Ultimate Edition. It will be released on October 11th. Here’s all you need to know about it:
Child of Light tells the coming-of-age story of Aurora, a young girl struggling to save the lost kingdom of Lemuria and her ailing father. Created as a modern reimagining of childhood fairy tales with distinctive watercolor visuals, Child of Light sees Aurora, her firefly Igniculus, and a host of other party members take on the Dark Queen of Lemuria and her minions in tough turn-based combat.
As you triumph over the Dark Queen’s minions in this RPG, you’ll level up and unlock skill points used to upgrade the unique abilities of your party members while crafting and improving your equipment. By utilizing the power of light, Aurora and Igniculus will work together to solve puzzles. On Switch, players can team up with a friend as Igniculus can be controlled by another player using a Joy-Con controller.
Speaking of Child of Light, Patrick Plourde (Creative Director at Ubisoft Montreal) teased a sequel on Twitter the other day:

Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Last week, Ubisoft announced that Valiant Hearts: The Great War was headed to the Nintendo Switch. It will be released on November 8th. Here’s all you need to know about it:
Valiant Hearts tells the story of five separate strangers, brought together by the horrors of war and their faithful canine companion. A story of friendship, love, sacrifice, and tragedy based on World War 1, Valiant Hearts is a heartfelt adventure through history. On your journey, you’ll explore famous WW1 locations like Reims and Montfaucon, and crucial, war-impacting moments like the Battles of Marne and Somme as you work with your trusty and lovable dog to solve puzzles and sneak behind enemy lines.
On Switch, Valiant Hearts is fully playable with touch controls, allowing you to interact with the characters and world like never before. Additionally, Switch owners will have access to an interactive comic book, Valiant Hearts: Dogs of War. The comic tells the tale of Walt the dog and his sister Cassie in the early years of WW1 as they navigate dangerous trenches in order to deliver important messages and rescue fallen soldiers.
