Sega announced via the latest issue of Famitsu magazine that a remastered version of Valkyria Chronicles will be coming to PS4, as well as a new game in the series.
Valkyria Chronicles Remaster will launch in Japan on February 10, 2016. It will feature enhanced graphics, includes all previously released DLC, trophies and a demo for the new game, Valkyria: Azure Revolution, which will be released in Winter 2016.
According to Gematsu, Takeshi Ozawa, Director of Azure Revolution, describes the game as “largely different on the surface but in a good way.” Battles are real-time and “action-ish,” with players “setting commands to buttons,”
“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,” Takeshi 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.”
Let’s hope that North America will get the remaster version early next year too!
