Title: SEGA possibly investing big in Valkyria brand?
Post by: Sharky on November 19, 2015, 05:56:54 am: To be honest I'm just over the moon to see a series which was all but dead less that a week ago suddenly spring back to life in such a big way... Very Happy right now.

SEGA Japan opens a Valkyria portal site:

SEGA Japan also opens a new Valkyria Twitter: (if you're on twitter show your support!)

Personally, I think they should drop Shining...the buzz around Valkyria is so much bigger, in Japan and worldwide.

Besides its not like the series (Or most SEGA Japan IPs) arent supported with a media blitz. Remember the tie in mangas, anime etc with the original?

We can put that down to another bad decision by SoJ. I bet the success of the PC port was what made them turn around.

Sega. Always at the vanguard of marketing!

So your implying that just because its rerelease on Steam did well, it has a future?
