There’s a lot to be excited about the recently announced Valkyria Chronicles 4. The game was only recently revealed and some information had been previously released on what the game will be like. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the game is that will be taking the series back to its roots. Now, Sega has announced that they will host the first ever live gameplay broadcast of the game on December 27th at 20:00 JST.

You will be able to watch the livestream on YouTube, LINE Live and Periscope. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered gameplay will also be shown for half an hour before moving on to showcase Valkyria Chronicles 4. The livestream will feature Kiara’s voice actress Yukiyo Fujii and Nikola Graf’s voice actress, Naomi Oozora.

The livestream will provide a lot of useful information about the new features in the game and also regarding the game’s development. The game is set to release in North America and Europe for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One sometime in 2018.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is due out on the PS4 in May and Sega has released a brand new story trailer in order to get gamers excited about it. For those who never played the original and don’t know much about the game, a war is raging across the game’s world and the main characters, Gallia and Gunther, Alicia, Largo and the rest of Squad 7 have joined fight “for personal reasons.”

These reasons are a bit of a secret as the game opens but we find out more about why each of the characters are fighting as hard as they as the deeper we go into the story. Some of that story is certainly showed off in this new trailer, as well as just how players will be able to navigate the remastered version of the fan favorite. Sega appears quite proud about this version mainly because it has been able to keep the original look and feel of Valkyria Chronicles while ramping up the graphics output to 1080p/60fps.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is following the pattern of other remastered titles which means all the DLC that was released for the original game is going to be coming with this launch. You’ll get the full game as well as Hard EX Mode, Edy’s Mission, Selvaria’s Mission, and Challenge of the Edy Detachment. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is due to release digitally exclusively on the PS4 on May 17, 2016.

We got a look at the upcoming Valkyria Chronicles Remastered earlier this year and now we know when the game is going to launching on the PS4 exclusively. Sega announced earlier this week that the game will by coming to Sony’s current generation console on May 17 in both North America and Europe. As is the case with other remastered editions that have been released on both the Xbox One and PS4, this title won’t have any brand new content, but it will have a slightly better sheen to the look and feel of the game.

For those who have never played the game, it will also have all the DLC that released for the original which was quite popular on the last generation of consoles. Sega has promised 1080p/60fps visuals for the remastered version of the game. Not only is this going to have all the DLC included but it’s also going to have both English and Japanese languages as well as full trophy support. This means that anyone who hasn’t gotten their hands on the game is going to be in for a treat.

You can take a look at the trailer below in order to get yourself up to speed on how the game works. Then get excited because Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is launching exclusively for the PS4 on May 17.

The latest Media Create sales charts are in, revealing the top-selling games in Japan for the past week.

On top is Shin Megami Tensei IV Final which sold 96,349 units on the Nintendo 3DS in its debut. This was followed by Dragon Quest Builders on the PlayStation Vita which continues to see strong sales – it sold 24,536 units this week for a lifetime total of 248,943 units. Valkyria Chronicles Remastered also made its debut on the PS4 this week with 24,156 units sold. Dragon Quest Heroes 2 was in fourth place with 16,434 units sold and 190,587 units over its lifetime.

Dragon Quest Builders on the PlayStation 3 continues to do decent numbers with 13,233 units sold and 85,538 lifetime sales. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is still hanging in there with 13,095 units sold and 86,283 units sold. Interestingly enough, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 sold 12,187 units bringing its lifetime sales to 76,633 units. Splatoon, Yok-kai Watch Busters and Minecraft: PlayStation Vita Edition rounded off the rest of the list.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is coming to the west- I still find that hard to believe. The newest game in a dead franchise, which didn’t even see its last installment released in the west, from a publisher that has a terrible track record of localizations, actually coming over? I still pinch myself sometimes.

If you wanted to have a look at what the remaster looks like – and I don’t mean a look via scans of Japanese magazines which had some screenshots of the title, I meant a look at the game in motion – then you’re in luck. We have a brand new trailer for the title, which showcases it in all of its visual splendor and glory.

Valkyria Chronicles Remastered includes all the DLC that the original game had, as well as Trophy support, and graphics upscaled to 1080p; it is available for just $30 later this Spring. If you want to play the game before then, you can purchase Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3 or PC.
