Do you happen to be a PS3 owner who enjoys tanks, machine guns and RPGs? You are? Well then, have we got an announcement for you. Sega has confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles, an acclaimed and anticipated PS3 exclusive, will be arriving in the US on November 11. The title, which has been described as Advance Wars meets Mass Effect, has been garnering a following in Japan for some time now, and the US release will likely bring the phenomenon overseas.
In addition to confirmation of the PS3 release date, Sega is also hinting at a possible PSP port of the title. During E3, a clip of the game was mistakenly shown during the PSP portion of Sony’s press conference, sending many a fanboy into a fervor over the idea of the game appearing on the handheld. While that may have been a mistake, it could have turned out to be inspiration, as associate producer Christopher Kaminski stated, "Well, you know, the response we got from that accidental announcement was very interesting. I’ll have to leave it at that for now."
So from the sounds of things, a simple faux pas might result in the game appearing on a whole new platform. Not bad for someone falling asleep in the editing room. Oh well, sometimes mistakes can turn out great, just ask my parents.
