Many doubted that the series could have a future in the West since the Japanese company decided to not trust its dormant potential after the poor sales of the second installment, released in the West in a time where piracy dominated the PSP scene and sales of digital and retail software were already compromised.Īfter several online petitions and strong pressure from the fanbase, SEGA decided to re-launch the first chapter of the saga on Steam, achieving an unprecedented success confirmed by triumphant press releases strong of this, Valkyria Chronicles returned on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch as remasters, followed by the release of Valkyria Revolution, a forgettable spin-off released on PS4, Xbox One and PS Vita, set in an alternative universe. The second chapter was underwhelming (especially from a narrative point of view) and failed to meet the expectations of the Western managers of SEGA, therefore the third iteration, which was definitely more appealing than the predecessor story-wise and featured tons of improvements, was released only in Japan ( but a group of fan translators fixed that). This decision was clearly made after failing to gather enough interest on Sony’s home console, especially in the West, where only a few players realized the potential of this tactical JRPG series that looked just like a Japanese version of X Com. In truth, the continuity of this JRPG series is a little more complicated than that: two of the numbered chapters were released for the now-defunct PSP, aimed mainly at the Japanese market in the desperate attempt of appealing a new audience with different story elements and a military school setting.

Today, if we would not consider that this new Valkyria Chronicles installment is followed by the number “4”, we would probably guess that the new SEGA title, now available on PS4, PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, could directly connect to the legacy of the PS3 episode, since both the art direction and a large part of its mechanics are largely the same.

Its dramatic storytelling (heavily influenced by classic Anime tropes) was combined with a fascinating cel-shaded aesthetic offered by the Canvas Engine, a graphics engine capable of giving life to pastel-colored environments that seemed drawn on a canvas. Released in 2008, the first chapter of the Valkyria Chronicles series brought to PlayStation 3 a fascinating universe inspired by the conflicts that raged in Europe during the Second World War.
