A new trailer for the new Valkyria Azures shows what looks like an in-engine cutscene hinting at both gun and swordplay on a large battlefield in this spin off series.

Watermelon sized boobies and maid cafe outfits be damned.

I'm fucking sold.  The ornate gilded designs of the guns truly feels likes the next step in the franchises art style.  Here's hoping this delivers!

Wow, seems like their are treating this as an AAA project! The theme song is actually really classy!

The titty-witch thing seems to be a running theme, after Sylvanias popularity I can understand why they'd do it again. It's silly but Japan ganna Japan. I've never let something like that put me off a game... In fact in Dragons Crown it was hilarious.

Now if there was some mini game where you undress her and touch her up while she coo's naught lines in your ear I'd probably take issue.

Graphics look great, art style looks crappy.

With the recent tease from SEGA's twitter account, I think we're safe in saying it's coming to the west too

  YAY gonna buy 2 copies if that really happens! I hope it's a proper physical release (so I can buy one for myself and one for my videogame buddy) but I'll buy it even if it's digital only...I wonder if the big reveal is gonna be that the demo for Azure revolution is included...and hence the game confirmed to be localised

Can't wait. Admittedly only played a few hours of the Steam release, but I can tell it's quality and want to support fantastic SEGA series. I hope the PS4 release exceeds their expectations the way the Steam release did.

Just managed to watch the trailer for Valkyria Chronicles Azure and it looks great!
I also noticed this under the logo near the end too:

"Here lie the 'circle of five' whose vengeful actions brought forth an inferno of war.
With their execution, the blood of the brave legion is redeemed, and a just peace born. They rest eternally in the land of their birth. By the holy mother."

Soo, I guess that's the story?

Physical release of VC:Remastered confirmed and to be released this spring in the west: http://valkyria.sega.com/

It comes in a nice looking steel book too

[Phantasos]

Hope it sells at least as good as the PC port.

As your tweets say, this seems to be like a good year for SEGA. It feels as though the entire company are reading from the same page and are incredibly focused on the job in hand.

I really hope it pays off for them.

As I tweeted, I think the whole four pillars thing is no more. SEGA has hardly promoted Total War and Football Manager in America, Aliens has been silent since Isolation, and Sonic has been silent outside of Boom.

Meanwhile, SEGA of America (and SEGA Europe to an extent) is pushing Yakuza 5, Yakuza 0, SEGA 3D Classics Collection and now Valkyria Chronicles Remastered - all physical aside from Yakuza 5. Now stuff like Yakzua 6 and Azure Revolution don't sound so impossible.
