Chain Chronicle x Valkyria Chronicles - Imca

Valkyria Chronicles X Chain Chronicle: Also Featuring Imca

Expecting the videos for Welkin and Kurt?

Surprise – it’s Imca! She’s rather popular in her own right, a strong fighter of few words but lots of spirit. One interesting to note about Imca is how all of the blue in her design stands out compared to the rest of the Nameless. Having so much color among a group with a muted outfit is visually appealing, in my opinion.

Hopefully there are no mushrooms to give her any trouble in Chain Chronicle. With her trusty weapon Var in tow, not much should be a problem for her to handle. Anyway, check out the short character video for Imca below.

Chain Chronicle X Valkyria Chronicles - Alicia

Valkyria Chronicles X Chain Chronicle Crossover Trailers! Featuring Alicia and Riela

The Valkyria Chronicles series (specifically, strategy RPG titles) is crossing over with the Japanese version of Chain Chronicle. Chain Chronicle is a popular mobile game series in Japan and is even receiving its own anime adaptation. Valkyria Chronicles characters will be featured as selectable units for the game. Sega Networks has produced two short trailers for Alicia and Riela, two of Valkyria’s heroines, fairly popular in their own right, and both of whom are Valkyria.

The global version of Chain Chronicle will be shutting down by the end of February, so sadly there isn’t any chance that this content will be made available outside of the Japanese version.

Wondering where Welkin and Kurt are? You can probably expect to see them in the near future…It seems their cards are ranked slightly lower than the heroines’ cards, though! In any case, check out the trailers below. The original seiyuu have returned to voice their characters.

Valkyria Chronicles Remaster Trailer: Characters

The gang’s all here!

Sega of Japan has released a very brief character trailer for Valkyria Chronicles Remaster, leading up to its February 10 release. It runs through Alicia, Welkin, Isara, Faldio, Cordelia, Maximilian, and Selvaria. Covers most of the major characters, but leaves out some of the Squad 7 members and Drei Stern. I’m personally happy that Alicia was featured first – I think it makes sense given the events of the story, and I have always wished that she was the face of the series rather than Selvaria, even if unofficially so. Though I understand that Selvaria’s background makes her popular. Selvaria, along with characters like Faldio (!) and Alicia, also have major impacts on the unfolding of story events.

In any case, it is nice that these news updates are being reflected through Sega of Japan’s social media and official Valkyria Project portal site.

In case you missed it somehow, Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is coming to the West in Spring 2016! Keep an eye out for more information on the game’s release.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Announcement

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered For NA/EU Spring 2016 – Trailer, Website, And More

Valkyria, Valkyria

May the bloodline live forever

Today Sega officially announced the North American and European localization of Valkyria Chronicles Remaster, which will be released in the West as Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. Note the “-ed.” It’s important, just like this game. Anyway, all of the in-game goods from the Japanese version are in tow: DLC, trophy support, Expert difficulty. The original version had dual-audio, but if you’re a fan of that it’s back too. There’s no word yet on the Azure Revolution demo, but we’ll find out later.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is a Playstation 4 title and is scheduled for release in North America and Europe in Spring 2016, which is right around the corner of this grueling winter that some of us are facing. A limited number of first-release North American copies will be packaged with a metallic Squad 7 Playstation 4 game case. The price for the North America offering is $29.99 US and $44.99 CAN. The European release will also get an exclusive physical offering; more word on that from Sega Europe to come soon.

Sega has even produced an English website for the Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. It hosts a batch of screenshots, and offers a briefing on the story, battle system, and the CANVAS engine. Even better still, Sega of America’s YouTube channel has uploaded a release announcement trailer. Check it out at this article’s end.

Below, check out some screenshots. This first screenshot is the release announcement for the North American region. Our featured image, if you notice, is for Europe.

SEGA Europe Hints at Valkyria Chronicles Remaster Release for the West, More Info Next Week

SEGA Europe’s latest episode of SEGA Central, where they announce the latest news on SEGA games showed us a bit of the Japanese Valkyria Chronicles Remaster trailer, and Dan Sheridan told viewers to tune in next week if they wanted to know if the game will be localized. While not an outright confirmation, it strongly implies that SEGA will soon be announcing that the PS4 version will indeed be released in the West. Watch the latest episode below!

Also worth noting is that in a recent Twitter poll by SEGA Europe, the majority of fans asked to see more content from SEGA of Japan. As you can see at the end of the video, it seems that Dan is already hard at work researching SEGA of Japan’s Youtube videos. In particular the ones featuring Japanese gravure idol Saki Yoshida.

SEGA Releases Valkyria Chronicles Remaster Story Trailer

SEGA of Japan have released a story trailer for Valkyria Chronicles Remaster, the PS4 port of the original Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. The video doesn’t show any gameplay, and the noticeable aliasing on the characters suggests that, like the PC version, the PS4 version won’t feature remade cutscenes. I explained the reason for that in an earlier article. With that said, you can watch the trailer below! Fair warning for those who haven’t played the original: like one of the earlier trailers, this video also contains a potential spoiler.
