Valkyria Revolution Heading To The PS Vita & PS4 In The West In Spring 2017

Sega today announced that the strategy RPG Valkyria Revolution, in Japan titled as Valkyria: Azure Revolution, will be coming to the PS Vita and PS4 in North America and Europe in spring 2017. The game will be available both physically and digitally for the PS4 and digital-only for the PS Vita.

Valkyria Revolution is in a sense a revolution from the traditional Valkyria Chronicles universe, as it’s set in an alternate timeline based on the European industrialization era and moves away from the traditional turn-based strategy gameplay for a new hybrid of real-time combat and tactical strategy across battlefields.

All it takes is a single spark to start the inferno of war, and in the story of Valkyria Revolution, players will experience that firsthand. Five lifelong friends consumed by personal revenge plunge an entire continent into a terrible war, sacrificing the lives of countless innocents for a cause based on twisted half-truths and outright lies. This “Circle of Five” use their combined influence in their political and military positions to motivate their small, economically blockaded homeland to rise up and become a powerful resistance against its imperialist oppressors. Will the Circle of Five be remembered as heroic liberators, or will their selfish motives expose them as traitorous conspirators who sacrificed untold lives just to carry out a personal vendetta? Players will watch this history unfold in Valkyria Revolution and find out the truth behind the events…
