Valkyria Chronicles Remastered will launch in both Europe and North America on May 17th for PlayStation 4, Sega announced today as reported by GameSpot. Physical and digital copies of the game will be available in both regions as previously reported.
A limited run of the Squad 7 Armored Edition will be available to pre-order in North America. This version of the game comes with a unique case featuring the player controlled members of the Squad 7 militia from the game. You’ll be able to pick up the game for US $29.99/CA $44.99.
Europe, on the other hand, will be treated to the Europa Edition, which comes with a 32-page art book and an A3 poster depicting Squad 7 members. Sega has not confirmed pricing details for the Euro-area or the UK.
Details of the game’s features list, according to Sega, are listed below.
- HD Canvas Graphics Engine – The stunning, painterly graphics return, but this time in 1080p/60fps high definition quality! Battles and cutscenes are conveyed like a vibrant tapestry in motion.
- Blitz tactical battle system – Part overhead turn-based strategy, part RPG, and part real-time 3rd person shooter, the Blitz system is an innovative mechanic that makes battles simultaneously strategic and action-packed. Players will command and control their soldiers and tanks as they take on the Empire in 30 different battlefronts.
- Memorable storyline – Set against the backdrop of a world war, Gunther, Alicia, Largo and the rest of the fierce members of Squad 7 fight for personal reasons in the name of freedom, and the hope against all odds of liberating Gallia from Empire control, all in the face of the terrible realities of war.
- DLC Included – Besides the core game, Valkyria Chronicles Remastered includes all previously released DLC: Hard EX Mode, Edy’s Mission, Selvaria’s Mission, and Challenge of the Edy Detachment.
