A new domain registration by SEGA suggests a third instalment in the Valkyria Chronicles series is in development.

As spotted by Siliconera, the name "valkyria3.jp" was registered towards the end of May. You need a username and password to get anything out of the domain, however.

So is VC3 definitely on the way, or is SEGA just protecting its brand names? Would a third instalment be for PS3 or PSP? SEGA has yet to say a word.

Valkyria Chronicles II is due to arrive in Europe on 3rd September. Visit the gamepage for a hands-on preview and all manner of nice pictures.
