I am a big boy and I can admit when I am wrong. I predicted the next title in the Valkyria Chronicles saga would be a prequel involving the respective fathers of Welkin and Isara (and maybe cemetery dude?). It turns out that it is actually a sequel set two years after the events of the first game, in the year 1937. The game’s official title is Battlefield Valkyria: Galia Royal Military Academy and it will be for the PSP.
Japan loves their games that take place in schools, huh? As you may have guessed by the snazzy title you will assume the role of students at Ransiru Royal Military Academy, pictured below with a link to the full Famitsu scan:
The concept for the game is stated as literally “school+war”.
The main character is Avan Houdens. He is the guy with short red hair in the upper left corner of the scan. All I know about him is that he is fulfilling his deceased brother’s wish, whatever that may be. Judging by his rifle, I am guessing he is a scout, or scout/tank driver like Welkin. I strained my eyes pretty well trying to read anything else about him, but the quality is just not there. I think I will wait until the teaser site goes live on Friday to try and get more info.
When it comes to the other characters, the serious looking guy holding the flamethrower is named Zeri and he is a a member of the Darcsen race. He aspires to become a legendary hero of his persecuted people. Judging by him being equipped with the flamethrower, I would guess he is a shocktrooper. The klutzy blond girl (yeah that’s original) is named Cozetto Kourhaas. I can’t really make out her part, but she appears to be either a medic or engineer. Lastly there is the Valkyria girl in the bottom right corner. There isn’t any info on her really… I wonder why she has horns?
The character designs look much more immature than the previous title… I suppose that is to reflect the game’s school setting. I dunno why, but I kinda miss the old, more serious character designs. These ones will probably grow on me though.
As I mentioned earlier, this title is for the PSP. I suspect this means Sega may be bringing us the long sought-after Valkyria Chronices multi-player. Obviously this is only speculative but I would not be all that surprised.
