DLC Inbound for Valkyria Chronicles
Valkyria Chronicles hit last year to great reception from writers all over for its great gameplay, solid storytelling and likable characters. This has so far spawned 3 Downloadable Content Packs here in the US, and it looks like we have not heard the last of Welkin and Squad 7.
Today Sega has announced that a fourth DLC Pack will hit the PS3 in the Winter of 2010. We can only hope a typo was made as DLC is not usually announced a full year in advance. The pack is titled “Challenges from Team Edy” and is set to test your strategy skills in all new missions! Valkyria Chronicles is set in an alternate Europe during the middle of a turbulent war. You play as Welkin Gunther, the son of a former General who gets sucked into the war. You must command Welkin and the rest of his squad to victory in this great strategy RPG.
If you have not played this game, please check out our review.
So is anyone out there going to have their hand at these Challenges?

Maybe someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I think in Europe they would refer to “winter 2010″ as being Jan-Mar 2010? Us North Americans are a little weird with the way we refer to things I think…

Makes sense, snow comes in october sometimes where I am in Canada, so winter for us is earlier than other places.
“Valkyria Chronicles hit early this year…”
Valkyria Chronicles came out last year…
Cool!
Great game, definitely getting this. We’ll have to drag SEGA, kicking and screaming, toward making more imaginative, high-quality games like this.
Awesome game…but sadly I will not purchase DLC until they add trophies to this game.
Release more copies. That’s what you guys need to do.

Do trophies really matter?
Megs1120 they ARE making other games imaginative and high quality like this. For what Mad World was, it was both a great title. Not quite to the caliber of this one but it was the type of title that did what it was designed to do. Also Bayonetta is another tittle that’s high quality and imaginative.
Oh and Megs1120 yes trophies do matter. It’ll boost sales.

Valkyria Chronicles needs sales and trophies will be enough to get a lot of people to take the plunge into the game. It’s a great game but without trophies, if just not going to entice people that want to make sure that they beat the game all the way through.
I’m very very bad about finishing games. Always have been. Trophies gives that incentive to go back to it.
I hate to complain when such a great game gets DLC, but more Edy missions? I guess she’s a popular character in Japan for reasons that frankly escape me, but honestly, one mission starring her was more than enough. Let’s see some more of other characters.

Nerd Alert. Nerd Alert. Don’t deprive yourself of a good game for something so irrelevant.
Yea, while the trophies would be nice, its not really necessary for me, the realistic consumer. This game was fantastic, and I have yet to try any of the DLC (theres so much DLC for every other game now, how to decide what to buy?). I’m hoping that since there will be four packages, they might come up with a bundle deal, like buy 3 get 1 free… or something. And Winter for me is Dec 21 – Mar 21… which spans 2009-2010. Ummm… couldn’t they just be clear and say 1st quarter?
