Valkyria’s Battlefield to be Fought on Larger Platform

Only months after the release of the hit RPG title Valkyria Chronicles, an addition to the series was announced. The game is currently titled Valkyria Chronicles 2, but unfortunately to many it will only be available on the PlayStation Portable.

However, Valkyria Chronicles 2 will most likely not be the end of the series, and Sega has shown interest in keeping Valkyria Chronicles as a long-term series. They have recently announced the release date for Valkyria Chronicles 2, and in an official comment by Aaron Webber, Assistant Community Manager for Sega of America, he stated the following:

“So far it seems like most of the fans are really just happy to see the series continue – and, if VCII sells well, it means a much greater chance that the series can pick up again back on a larger console, like the PS3.”

Although it isn’t official, chances are that Valkyria Chronicles 2 will sell well, and in turn a new addition to the series should be announced. Hopefully trophies will be announced for the original soon so people can be tied over until this yet-to-be announced PlayStation 3 sequel.

  1. This will be the Kingdom Hearts series all over again, no thanks..

    Sick of SEGA acting like the VC sales were so disappointing.. Its a niche genre with a brand new art style and combat, did they expect this to reach Final Fantasy sales?

    Not all PS3 owners have a PSP. And not all people who has a PSP knows how great this game is. So, I say it’s a gamble. They should’ve just brought it to the PS3.

    Cool though nice to know I really should play the first one , I love the anime btw.

  4. I don’t see VC2 selling well. The only PSP games that I know have sold well are Final Fantasys, GTA, and God of War.

  5. Graey says:

    This is a good series, I mean I rented it from the library, but I’m planning on buying it as soon as I get my PS3 back(storage overseas). Trust me its a game worth all the praise its gotten.

  6. @Smokey I agree..I really don’t see it lighting up sales for the PSP as much as people may expect

  7. wtGp says:

    this is exactly why people should be buying PSPs’. l don’t see the problem

  8. @wtGp,

    some of us are not fans of handheld gaming

  9. wtGp says:

    That’s too bad because this game is another example of gamers missing out again. How can you not like handheld gaming, don’t you get bored waiting in line or somewhere in public?

  10. briandead says:

    Glad I own a psp. Loved the first one.

  11. @Cameron Teague. That’s your guy’s problems. If you don’t like portable gaming then shit just buy the damn cable and hook it up to an HD TV

    Portable gaming is awesome. You put the device into your pocket, and you play it while you travel. Examples are:

    Waiting for a flight.
    Taking a long bus trip
    Waiting for a flight
    Waiting for a transfer
    Breaks at work
    Lunch breaks
    Before you go to bed
    During thunderstorms that could potentially damage things
    During black outs
    On a long car trip
    While in a waiting room
    While someone is trying out a game that you own on your main system
    While on the toilet because of bowel problems
    Waterproof it then take it in the bathtub
    Waiting for a movie to start
    Waiting for someone who hasn’t shown up and is late.

    I don’t see how someone could not be a fan of portable gaming. Please provide 1 single excuse that does not include “No dual analogues” or “Graphics” you know, bitch excuses.

  12. I just don’t like playing on the small screen and if i am going to hook it up to my TV, i will just play my PS3. Graphics do not bother me and I could care less about the lack of Dual Analogues.

  13. I’m not a fan of portable gaming… however, I am a fan of VC and while I do wish the sequel would come to PS3, I can definitely see how this game works well for portables. What they SHOULD do is make VC2 a big game for PS3, and release a smaller version for portable (ala LBP!). Cause really, I live 5 blocks from work, and don’t see me carrying a PSP around the hospital all day so I can play it for the 10 minutes I might wait in line at the grocery store twice a week.
