Valkyria Chronicles III Teaser Site Appears

Recently a teaser site appeared featuring the above image. It’s quite obvious the site will be for a new Valkyria Chronicles title. The image explains that the “top secret” document will be opened on September 16th, aka the first day of Tokyo Game Show.  This news comes out quite close to Sega acquiring the Valkyria Chronicles 3 domain.

So now that the facts are out of the way, I can have some fun with speculation.  First of all, the site’s address (http://code1935.jp/) holds a possible clue.  Mainly I am looking at the “code1935″ part.  That looks like a year doesn’t it?  It just so happens that 1935 was the same year of the first Valkyria Chronicles game, in E.C of course.  Valkyria Chronicles 2 takes place two years later in the year 1937 E.C, so I found this a bit odd.  Could this mean we are getting that prequel I have been wanting?  A side-story perhaps?

The next clue concerns the message above the Tokyo Game Show date.  I believe the message reads “altaha abilia” which is latin for “always ready“.  Then there is the number “422″ which is most likely the squad number for the lead characters in the next game.  While this is interesting, it really doesn’t tell us much more about the game.

This bring us to our big question: what system is this for?

The backlash from Valkyria Chronicles II being announced for the PSP was pretty intense.  I can’t say I was happy with the decision either.  I miss the unique aesthetic of Valkyria Chronicles’s canvas system which I believe was sacrificed for the move to PSP.  Therefore, I of course hope the game is going to be for Playstation 3.  In terms of other systems I wouldn’t rule out?  The DS is always a likely competitor.  Depending on the sales of Valkyria Chronicles 1 vs. 2, the decision may be to explore more portable devices.  Man, I am scaring myself just thinking about this.  Barring any leaked news we won’t have an answer until Tokyo Game Show.
