The Japanese blog of Valkyria Chronicles has promised there some news on the series will be landing pretty shortly ahead of TGS next month. And that’s it, there are no other clues to go. DLC for Valkyria Chronicles III? Valkyria Chronicles II and III being remastered for PS3 from PSP, like Monster Hunter and God of War? Or is this being underestimated for perhaps Valkyria Chronicles IV? We’ll see soon, by the looks of it.

Thanks, Andriasang.

During a Q&A on the European PS Blog, Sega has dodged a massive bullet on the matter of Valkyria Chronicles returning to PS3 sometime soon.

Valkyria Chronicles was released on the PlayStation 3 last autumn in the West, but it’s sequel will be on the PSP when it releases this winter in Japan and summer 2010 in the West. But Sega insist it is still too early to talk about the future of the series beyond Valkyria Chronicles 2.

“We’re still developing Valkyria Chronicles 2 so, to be honest, we’re not really thinking about Valkyria Chronicles 3, 4 or 5 at this point. Just in terms of how our team develops titles and our way of thinking when we choose the platform for each of our titles, it’s not necessarily “let’s make a PS3 game!”. It’s more a case of “what kind of game do we want to make?”.

For example, the first Valkyria was on the PS3 because of all the features we wanted to incorporate into the game and we felt the PS3 was the most suitable platform, so that’s how we develop games in our team. So potentially Valkyria Chronicles 3, or another title that we work on next might be on the PS3, it might still be on the PSP, we don’t know at this point.

“Because we’ve already got experience of working on the PS3 and now we’re developing another game on the PSP, that just adds to our level of experience and understanding of these platforms and will definitely help us in determining what is the best platform for the next game that we make.”

In what can honestly be described as the shortest press release in history, Sega has announced that it’ll be releasing new DLC for Valkyria Chronicles in winter 2010 (Jan or Feb most likely).

We would stick it below after the jump, but it really is too short. Look for yourself:

“Today, Sega announces new downloadable content for Valkyria Chronicles on PS3. ‘Challenges from Team Edy’ will test your strategy skills in all new missions! The DLC content will be available Winter 2010.”

See?

Thanks, SI.

Valkyria Chronicles saw a 400 percent increase in sales during April and which almost equals to the amount of  units sold during its November 2008 debut, reports the US Sega Blog.

The burning hot sales can be attributed to community contests, DLC and the temporary price drop to $30.

According to the blog:

“To be able to say that sales more than quadrupled almost six months after a game’s launch is a feat that few games can ever boast – and Valkyria Chronicles, with the amazing help of all of your support, can now do so wholly.”

Valkyria Chronicles producer Nonaka Ryutaro has told Famitsu that he’s interested in doing a sequel to the TRPG, which is probably good news considering the rabid following the game’s picked up.

Apparently he was “adamant about not leaving the game at just one title,” according to this PS3Center story.

Happy Monday, PS3 owners.

Sega’s to release its European Valkyria Chronicles DLC on April 16, the firm said today.

There’s three parts to it – as previously announced – and it’s going to cost £3.19 or €3.99 “each”.

The press release doesn’t make it particularly clear if it’s all coming in one lump or it’s going to cost you £10 for the lot.

Decipher it yourself after the break.

This US PS Blog post confirms that the western version of Sega SRPG Valkyria Chronicles is going to get the DLC released in Japan earlier this year.

Two updates will allow players to take control of the PS3 exclusive’s baddies, as well as adding an Extra Hard Skirmish mode.

“It’s my sincere and distinct pleasure to let you know that we’re bringing those two content packs over to the US and European shores early next year,” said associate producer Christopher Kaminski.

“We did this to support all the fans of the game and make sure that everyone can get all the enjoyment out of the game.”

More through there.

Sega’s advised that Valkyria Chronicles has been moved forward to October 31 from its previous date of November.

The PS3 RPG is cel-shaded to buggery and looks very pretty, so you could do worse. Should see some reviews soon.

Sega’s announced that the official website for Valkyria Chronicles is now live.

We would tell you where it is, but there doesn’t appear to be a link in the release. Here’s the Sega product page instead.

The PS3 RPG’s demo will release on October 9, the firm said in addition.

Game’s out on November 14. Press release after the link.
