SEGA Bringing J-RPG To PS3 This Fall News

via TVG

SEGA Europe has today confirmed that the PlayStation 3 exclusive RPG, Valkyria of the Battlefield, will be heading West from Japan this Autumn.

Despite undergoing something of name change to the snappier Valkyria Chronicles, the Japanese RPG title remains on course to deliver the fantastical story of two superpowers(the Federation and the Empire) heading for war intact. Developed by SEGA's Game Studio Japan, which has also produced the CANVAS engine specifically for the title (in true Japanese RPG fashion), Valkyria Chronicles follows a Federation soldier called Welkin and the rest of the 7th Platoon as they fight back against their aggressive neighbours.

"Valkyria Chronicles has been enthusiastically requested by European fans" said Gary Knight, European Marketing Director SEGA Europe ltd. "The unique graphics and compelling gameplay are just two reasons why we're delighted to bring it to them."
