Valkyria Chronicles sequel heads to PSP

Criminally overlooked action-strategy game back for more
Confirmation of a sequel to Sega's awesome PS3 action-strategy title, Valkyria Chronicles, has come via the Japanese press. But the follow-up isn't coming to PS3, it's coming to PSP.

There's no hard info on the sequel though it's expect to play similar to the original, which isn't really a huge surprise. Famitsu reckons it's due for a winter release in Japan. We've contacted Sega Europe but there's no news on a Euro release.

Check out a slideshow of Valkyria Chronicles 2 scans here (via Examiner).

Oh and here's what you missed if you never picked up the gorgeous PS3 exclusive...

I could see this working quite well on the PSP, no doubt sega are hoping to capture the Monster Hunter/ Phantasy Star audience in Japan, its ridiculous how much those two games sell over there.

Haven't even completed the first game on the PS3 yet.

I hope is does get a European release, the PS3 version was beautiful. The fact that it was indeed criminally overlooked may prevent it from doing so.

one of the best games on ps3 in fact i've ever played.beautiful,engaging and gripping this game was way too good.the sequel will hopefully have english voiceovers so i can import it at the very least.

I don't own psp and really like Valkyria Chronicles. Why they switching platforms?

I guess it depends how many Valkyria Chronicles sold. It's a good game, but it's not widely known so sales figures were maybe too low to justify a sequel.

I got my copy for free (from a CVG competition) but I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise. I don't like the obsession with cookie-cutter Manga kids saving the world all the time, so I might not even pick up the sequel. Which is a shame, because the actual strategy part, the weapon upgrades and the story itself, were really good. Just the characters bugged me.

Great game. This one kept me hooked until I completed it. Mind you I love these tactics style games. PSP version would be sweet - compliments my MH Unite obsession at the mo.
