You can see it after the drop. Sega’s PS3 JRPG is shaping up very nicely indeed we think. Nothing really that new, however, but still worth a watch.

Game’s out in November this year.

Siliconera sends word that Sega’s masterfully cel-shaded SRPG, Valkyria Chronicles, now has a North American release date.

Of course, since it’s a semi-obscure title, it only makes sense that Sega decided to toss Valkyria Chronicles right into the middle of gaming’s favorite enraged bull stampede: the holiday season.

Along with the ill-advised November 11 launch, associate producer Christopher Kaminski let Siliconera know that Valkyria Chronicles’ DLC won’t be included on the NA retail disc, but “no commented” out of confirming an inevitable PSN release somewhere down the road.

However, Kaminski did drop one interesting tidbit concerning the game’s script:

“We translated it directly. We wanted to stay true to the original. As a matter of fact we keep the original Japanese in there.”

Yeah. Bet Iron Man didn’t get that kind of treatment.

Sega’s put out a new movie and screens of RPG Valkyria Chronicles, despite the fact it’s already been released in Japan, this time focusing on a new character, Maximilian. Find everything after the link.

You can see the first six minutes of Sega’s Valkyria Chronicles on Gamersyde, should you wish. The JRPG came out in Japan yesterday, and it to release in the US and Europe for PS3 towards the end of this year.

Sega’s released some new screens and a video of PS3 RPG Valkyria Chronicles, and the entire thing appears to have taken a turn for the bizarre. A new character, Selvaria Bles, is seen wielding some kind of phallic death sword and glowing blue. God knows what’s going on with that. The game comes out at the end of the month in Japan and in Europe this autumn.

Both the screens and movie are after the link. The sound’s a bit knackered on the video, for some reason.

According to PS3.IGN, Sega RPG Valkyria Chronicles has an optional HD install designed to cut down loading times. From the piece:

The install takes up 3,336 MB and apparently cuts down load times from the 15 second waits players would otherwise have to sit through when opting to play directly from disc.

As with last month’s Ryu ga Gotoku Kenzan install, this install is strictly optional, so those who can’t find enough space on their hard disk will still be able to play.

The PS3 exclusive will be launching in Europe later this year.

From Watch Impress, again. The RPG – which is seeing a western release later this year – will ship in Japan on April 24 for PS3 only. The screens show a new character named Alicia Melchiott, and there’s another trailer for you to look at as well. The video shows Alicia hugging a winged pig, brilliantly. All looking great, as far as we’re concerned.

Update: Tons more shots here.

Some very pretty new shots on Watch Impress of Sega’s Europe-bound, PS3-only JRPG, Valkyria Chronicle. Known as Valkyria of the Battlefield: Gallian Chronicles in Japan, the game will hit both Europe and the US this autumn following an April 24 launch in the East.

You can see a movie after the link. Have a look at the official site as well.

Sega just confirmed that RPG Valkyria Chronicles – Valkyria of the Battlefield: Gallian Chronicles in Japan – is to be brought to the west as a PS3 exclusive.

Apparently, “Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe – divided in two and ruled by the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on invading a small neutral country called Gallia, which is situated in the middle of the two great empires. The game follows a hero named Welkin and his fellow soldiers of the Federation’s 7th Platoon as they engage in a series of epic battles.”

Lumme. It’s being developed by Sega internally. That’s a nice story for a Monday, isn’t it? It’ll be out this autumn.
