Yoan Fanise spent 14 years working at Ubisoft, and during that time—some of which was spent working on the blockbuster series the company is famous for—he was also somehow able to release one of the smallest, bravest games we've ever seen from a major publisher.

We've got the first trailer for Valiant Hearts, Ubisoft's fantastic game about World War I, with its own distinct visual style and powerful narration and music. Now, what if we take this visual style, and substitute it for Minecraft? Surprisingly, it works. Kinda.

We were so intrigued by the World War I adventure game Valiant Hearts that we reviewed it twice. Sort of. Luke reviewed it for us last week. Stephen (that's me!) just reviewed it for The New York Times. Read the latter review here if you didn't already pick up the paper.

Valiant Hearts is a wonderful story trapped inside a video game.

Valiant Hearts used to be sneaking up on us, but the WW1 game just hit the prime time with a spot during Ubisoft's E3 conference. And doesn't it just look lovely.

Kirk got to see it briefly last year, but between then and now, I'd forgotten all about Valiant Hearts. I am an idiot.
