Today, SEGA of America announced that Valkyria Chronicles 2, the PSP sequel to the incredibly engaging PS3 strategy RPG, would be coming to the United States.
Valkyria Chronicles 2 will be set two years after the original game and will follow a group of Gallian Military Academy cadets as they find themselves fighting against a newly formed Gallian Revolutionary Army. The game will once again feature the "CANVAS" graphical engine first seen in Valkyria Chronicles, which creates a watercolor/pencil effect that lends immense personality to the visuals. Furthermore, the "BLiTZ" battle system has been redesigned to "offer players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls." This system once again unites classic strategy games with third-person action, which was an excellent mix in the original.
The game will be available for the PSP sometime during the summer of 2010. A SEGA representative commented that the game is currently only confirmed for UMD format, though information regarding a digital-download option could potentially be revealed at a later date.
