    Valkyria Chronicles 4 (PS4/XB1/NSW) - 2018

    http://www.siliconera.com/2017/11/19...ntendo-switch/

    It is the year 1935 EC…
    The continent of Europa is engulfed in the flames of the Second Europan War between the Atlantic Federation and the Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance. Although the Federation struggles valiantly against the Empire’s forces, the relentless imperial military machine threatens to consume them. With victory slipping away, the Federation executes Operation Northern Cross: a last-ditch attempt to capture the imperial capital and end the war.

    Commander Claude Wallace and his loyal childhood friends in Squad E are sent to fight for the desperate operation’s success, but they will have to endure harsh bone-chilling elements, waves of imperial soldiers, and the terrifying Valkyria… and unravel a grave truth that will shake them to the core.
    Valkyria Chronicles 4 releases in Japan on March 21, 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The game releases in North America and Europe in 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.

    I just....

    Wow.

    Never thought Sega would actually do it. Expected a card collection based mobile game.

    Day 1 Nintendo Switch.

    Characters look just a *little* on the cliche side, but with this looking like VC1 and 3 instead of 2, thats something I can be okay with. Will be a nice change of pace having it not from the Gallia viewpoint.

    And I already have a sniper waifu as well. Win/win.

    Expanded upon from the press release;

    • A Coming-of-Age Story in a Time of War - Valkyria Chronicles 4 takes place in the same timeframe as the original Valkyria Chronicles, but focuses on a whole new cast of main characters. Players will take command of the eager, young Commander Claude Wallace, engineer/heavy weapons extraordinaire Riley Miller, hotheaded Darcsen Raz, ice-cold ace sniper Kai Schulen, and more. Together, they will experience the painful realities of war--but will the bonds of Squad E's friendships survive the frozen battlefield?

    • The Next Generation "BLiTZ" Battle System - The part overhead turn-based strategy, part RPG, and part real-time 3rd person shooter "BLiTZ" battle system returns to the field. New features include an explosive new class called the Grenadier, numerous offensive/defensive battleship support options, chances for a unit to have a "Last Stand" action before death, and more. Plus, fight the imperial threat with more units on larger-scale maps than ever before.

    • CANVAS Aesthetics - The series' signature hand-drawn visual style is back and overhauled for the newest generation. Inspired by watercolor compositions, the CANVAS Graphics Engine blends visual elements of reality and imagination to create an expressive world filled with colorful emotions. Watch the journey of Squad E unfold like an interactive painting!

    • The Return of a Legendary Composer - The illustrious Hitoshi Sakimoto, original composer of the Valkyria Chronicles series and countless other emotional epics, returns to provide a sweeping orchestral soundtrack for the game.

    As an aside, is this the first game from a major company to have Ps4/XBox1/Switch releasing at the same time outside of serial entries like sports titles?

    Awesome.

    Clearly with them already announcing this for the west, that means we'll inevitably get a port of 3 for the Switch.

    Right guys?

    Right?

    Gift horse. mouth.

    Going out on a limb and say our only chance to see 3 localized is Sega being merciful and doing a Type-O "remake" for current gen or the "20th Anniversary" Valkyria collection that has 1-3 updated for next gen in 10 years.

    Edit:

    Edy DLC already confirmed.

    Oh, I'm just being silly. If I really wanted to play it translated it's easy enough with some effort.

    But a compilation for Switch of 1-3 would be pretty sweet. I imagine they'd consider it when VC4 sells pretty well.

    Prediction: In Japan, the Switch Version will be the best selling version.

    So... VC3 worth playing through? I got it on my vita but never finished it (I get distracted easily these days). I guess I should probably go back and finish it. (aka start over) D:

    Is the BLiTZ system the original VC1 battlesystem? I don't want to play a sword slash game that people were complaining about in one of the other sequels, but the description sounds like it is similar - turn based 3rd person SRPG? I'll get my hype engine started just in case. 2018 is going to be insane.

    Would be nice to get a re-release of the third one for us fucks that didn't play it on PSP. Would also be nice if Sega would get their heads out of their asses.
