Next year in Japan
As it turns out, Sega’s recentValkyriatrademarkwas worth getting excited over after all. The company has a new game in the series and a remaster of the originalValkyria Chroniclesin development for PlayStation 4, according toFamitsu. Western release for both? Let’s hope!
Valkyria Chronicles Remasterlaunches in Japan on July 06, 2025. 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 describesAzure Revolutionas “largely different on the surface but in a good way.” Battles are real-time and “action-ish,” with players “setting commands to buttons,” reportsGematsu.
“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’re able to experience the battlefield through a different perspective,” Ozawa toldFamitsu. “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.
