Released way back [urlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyria_Chronicles]in 2008[/url], tactical JRPG Valkyria Chronicles was something of a critical and commercial hit. Unfortunately for PC users however, it’s only ever been available on PS3.
Luckily that’s about to change. European game-rating agency PEGI has handed out classification to a PC version of the game, and Sega today tweeted confirmation that a port is on the way.
Whether or not publisher Sega was directly influenced by them, I’d imagine the people behind this petition for a PC version will be some fairly happy folks today. Just goes to show that there’s always hope. Expect for Read Dead Redemption. That’s just never going to happen, PC fans.
Valkyria Chronicles is a turn-based effort that uses an innovative system called BLiTZ (Battle of Live Tactical Zones if you want to get specific), which allows players to plan their strategy in a zoomed-out Command Mode, then zoom in to control units directly. Though there are elements of fantasy, it’s largely inspired by World Wars One and Two, with two great superpowers battling it out over the retro-futuristic continent of Europa.
Sega promises more information soon.
