1935 was the year of Gallia in Valkyria Chronicles. Valkyria Chronicles II brings Gallia into yet another battle. This time it is a battle against the Gassenarl family in the year 1937. Students from the Lanseal Royal Military Academy have to step up and protect their homeland in battle because the forces of Gallia are already stretched thin from other battles.
The trailer also displays a release date of August 31st, 2010.
When Valkyria Chronicles 2 was announced for the PSP, many gamers got a bit angry since they wanted it to be on the PS3, just like the original. Well, now that SEGA West has begun their community team blog posts about the game, people have asked, is there a way the game can come to PS3? Short answer, no.
“Valkyria Chronicles I is a PS3 exclusive, and Valkyria Chronicles II is a PSP exclusive. Taking a game from the PSP and updating for the PS3 is a pretty huge process, and I don’t think there are any plans to do that currently. An interesting question though!”– RubyEclipse
Not really surprised, I mean, when was the last time a PSP game was ported to PS3? Never, that I can think of. He also answered your questions about Valkyria Chronicles trophy patch, no news on it. Basically, forget about trophies in the original and just play the damn game.

The demo for Valkyria Chronicles II will be hitting US PSN later today, I just checked at the time of posting this and the store hasn’t updated yet. Should be in a few hours, I personally can’t wait.
RubyEclipse has confirmed on the Playstation Blog that the Western release of the game has gotten extra content.
“Among the many stickers that you can get for your tank or vehicle, we’ve added in a few brand new ones that both old and new SEGA fans are sure to smile at. Those of you who loved the first game will also be happy to note that we’ve included a few original characters as unlockable Easter eggs, just like in the Japanese version.”
The game comes out August 31st in America, make sure to pre-order your copy and play the demo… in whatever order you choose.

We know that Valkyria Chronicles 2 has had DLC made in Japan, if you pre-order your game now, you will get two free DLC missions.
• Exercise vs. Class E – An exterminatory war exercise against rival class E using all the areas of Leanbluff Forest. Destroy all enemies in each area to win this challenge.
• Exercise vs. Class F – A defense exercise against rival class F. Break through their stonewalling defense and take over their encampment to win this mission.
The DLC is for both Europe and America, in America the promo is being ran by Gamestop. The game hits America on August 31st and Europe on September 3rd.
Seems that SEGA’s Valkyria Chronicles 2 will get a ‘side story’ manga in Japan. The first issue hits store shelves this Friday, the 28th. Seems that SEGA Japan is not done promoting Valkyia Chronicles 2 over there, after it released this last Fall. This is how you support a game.
Seems that the manga will be called “Valkyria Chronicles 2: Our Only Days”, sounds catchy to me. Wonder if SEGA West will be releasing it here? Doubt it.
