No word on Western release yet but if this is going to be on PS4 they might as well release the game in English considering the PS4 user base is small in Japan.

 

Finally a proper Valkyria Chronicles back on home consoles with an upgrade of the beautiful Canvas engine instead of the generic anime style of VC 2 and 3 :clap3:

Wait it's not Srpg ?

 

Sega is fkin up big time trying to appeal to bigger audience. If the game is bad and it flops the franchise is dead again.

 

Why not just give fans what they want ? If Sega wants to make an RPG use the million other IPs you have.

 

The game sold 500k on Steam because it was a Strategy game , why go and f**k that up. You already found your audience for your game Sega. How many JRPGs sell that much on steam.

Oh then am guessing this is just a spinoff to keep the franchise active , while main team is making VC4.

 

Or at least I hope so lol.

A Brief Intro to the Plot (Taken from the source mentioned below):

 

All it takes is a single spark to start the inferno of war, and in the story of Valkyria Revolution, players will experience that firsthand. Five lifelong friends consumed by personal revenge plunge an entire continent into a terrible war, sacrificing the lives of countless innocents for a cause based on twisted half-truths and outright lies. This "Circle of Five" use their combined influence in their political and military positions to motivate their small, economically blockaded homeland to rise up and become a powerful resistance against its imperialist oppressors. Will the Circle of Five be remembered as heroic liberators, or will their selfish motives expose them as traitorous conspirators who sacrificed untold lives just to carry out a personal vendetta? Players will watch this history unfold in Valkyria Revolution and find out the truth behind the events...
