Following
hints and a
confirmation earlier this week
that a PC edition of
Valkyria Chronicles is in the works, SEGA announces
details on their plans to bring this strategic RPG to Windows. They say it
should be available for preorder soon if not already through various digital
distributors, and that it will include all of the DLC release for the PS3
edition. Here's word:
In the words of series’ favorite, Aika Thompson,
“we’re just getting warmed up!” If you saw the news on twitter on Monday night,
which saw ‘Valkyria Chronicles™’ trending worldwide, you’ll know that some
eagle-eyed reporters spotted Valkyria Chronicles listed for PC on PEGI’s
website. Well, we were going to tell you all about it tomorrow, but we have all
the details for pre-ordering and content available at launch right here, right
now.
In Valkyria Chronicles, for those who don’t know, players embark on an epic
adventure through beautiful environments and battle legions of troops to save
the small country of Gallia from total destruction. Valkyria Chronicles is set
in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe on the verge of a great
war. The game follows Welkin and his fellow soldiers of the Federation’s 7th
Platoon that are fighting against the Empire, who is intent on unifying the
continent under its power. The emergence of the “Valkyria”- an ancient race with
special powers thought to exist only in legends, turns the tide of the war and
the Federation’s ability to win and a hope for a better future hangs in the
balance.
This Strategy RPG was a critical success, garnering a whopping 86% on
Metacritic and even earned a Guinness World Record in 2010 for being the best
Strategy RPG on PS3. Valkyria Chronicles will launch for Windows PC via Digital
Download on November 11, 2014 and will come bundled with all the DLC that was
available for the original PlayStation 3 game including:
- Hard EX Mode (harder versions of skirmish
missions in the main game)
- Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” (a
side story campaign)
- Selveria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame”
(a side story campaign)
- Challenge of the Edy Detachment (six
challenge missions)
So you can pre-order now and pick up this award winning, critically acclaimed
strategy RPG that’s so good it announced itself, for £14.99/€19.99/$19.99 from
selected digital retail partners.
