Valkyria Chronicles PS4 Remaster Trailer is Full of Melodrama

Sega has released a new trailer for the PlayStation 4 re-release of Valkyria Chronicles, which will be available in Japan from February 10.

The trailer, which you can watch above, sets up the game's war-torn world and introduces a few of the key characters. It's all in Japanese, but it's pretty easy to get the gist of what's going on.

The remastered version of Valkyria Chronicles will feature improved visuals, include DLC, and Trophy support.

A demo of Valkyria: Azure Revolution, a sequel to the first game, will be included with Valkyria Chronicles Remaster. The follow-up is being developed by Media Vision, which also worked on Valkyria Chronicles 3 for PSP

Sega has not discussed the game in-depth, but it has been revealed that the game is set in a world where the Rus Empire has rapidly expanded thanks to an industrial revolution. This was instigated by the discovery of a mineral called Ragnite.

The Empire's growth has brought it into conflict with Jutland, which has been blockaded. The small country must now fight for "independence and freedom." The main protagonist is a commanding officer in the Judland Kingom's Anti-Valkyria Unit.
