Valkyria Revolution Announced for Western Release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PS Vita

Sega has announced that they are planning on releasing Valkyria: Azure Revolution in North America and Europe with Deep Silver handling the publishing in that region. The company is aiming on having the title, which will now be called Valkyria Revolution released in Q2 2017 and they are aiming on having it releasd physically and digitally for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as digitally for the PS Vita.

Valkyria Revolution is considered quite different from the original Valkyria Chronicles games because not only does it take place in an alternate timeline based on the European industrialization era but also features a hybrid of real-time combat and tactical strategy rather than only using the traditional turn-based strategy gameplay of the original games.

Sega has provided something of an overview of what to expect from the game and you can check that out below:

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…
