A new Valkyria Chronicles and a remaster are coming to PS4

Next year in Japan

As it turns out, Sega’s recent Valkyria trademark was worth getting excited over after all. The company has a new game in the series and a remaster of the original Valkyria Chronicles in development for PlayStation 4, according to Famitsu. Western release for both? Let’s hope!

Valkyria Chronicles Remaster launches in Japan on February 10, 2016. This version will sport graphical updates, DLC pack-ins, and Trophies, as well as a demo for the new game, Valkyria: Azure Revolution, which releases in winter 2016.

Director Takeshi Ozawa describes Azure Revolution as “largely different on the surface but in a good way.” Battles are real-time and “action-ish,” with players “setting commands to buttons,” reports Gematsu.

“The concept of the battle system and the sensation of the battlefield are the same, but because it’s an RPG with simulation elements, you can experience the battlefield through a different perspective,” Ozawa told Famitsu. “You get the feeling that you’re taking territory from a major power and expanding your scope. You’ll prepare at the base, go out to the field, achieve your objectives, and return to base. It’s similar to an RPG where you go into dungeons.“

Intriguing stuff! And if you’re wondering about the visual style, wonder no more.
