In February of this year, GAMER sat down for a long interview with Katsura Mikami and Takeshi Ozawa of SEGA, the producer and director (respectively) of Valkyria Chronicles Remaster for the Playstation 4.

Towards the end of this past August, a NeoGAF thread surfaced with a partial translation of the interview provided by Nyoro SF, a Valkyria fan and ardent follower of the franchise. The translated segments contain a variety of helpful pieces of information regarding the development process for Valkyria Chronicles Remaster and of course, the prospect of Valkyria Chronicles 2 and 3 being remastered for Playstation 4.

While we will post some of the salient points of the interview in the form of a short summary, please view the thread and if you have a NeoGAF account, post in it to show support for both the Valkyria franchise and the translator’s efforts!

Draikin August 5, 2016 Leave a reply

A new blog update featuring Helena and Blum (two characters from the game) on the official Valkyria: Azure Revolution website mentions that more information regarding the new demo will be revealed near the end of August. The 2.0 version of the demo is expected to be considerably different from the 1.0 version that was released earlier this year, since the development team received a lot of (sometimes harsh) feedback from fans. As such, they announced a significant amount of changes that will be made to the game.

In addition, more information will be revealed concerning the voice cast for the game. Valkyria: Azure Revolution is still scheduled to be released this Winter in Japan on the PlayStation 4. There’s been no word yet on a possible localization.

It’s fair to say that SEGA Europe has been a lot more active on social media over the past year, especially with the arrival of Dan Sheridan as their new community manager. But while the renewed SEGA of America has been hard at work on bringing SEGA games from Japan to the Americas, things didn’t go as smoothly in Europe. Whenever SEGA of America announced a new game, SEGA Europe didn’t immediately follow suit. The release of Yakuza 0 in Europe was initially in doubt, and it took a while for it to finally be confirmed. The SEGA 3D Classics Collection for the Nintendo 3DS was eventually confirmed for a European release, but we’re still without a release date even though the game is already available in the US. Similarly, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X was only recently confirmed for a European release. Unfortunately it comes with the caveat that the title won’t receive a physical release, even on PS4.

The latest UK All Formats video game sales charts courtesy of Chart-track shows Valkyria Chronicles Remastered debuting at #6, just behind Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. In the PS4 specific sales chart, it entered at #4. While the game is being sold at a budget price, the game appears to be getting a much better reception this time around than its original release on PS3. Back in 2008, the PS3 version of the game failed to enter the top 40 in the All Formats chart, and only debuted in the PS3 list at #18.
