SEGA has shown quite a bit of Valkyria Chronicles 4 since its original announcement, but we’ve yet to really see the game in action. That changes next week.

The first live gameplay from Valkyria Chronicles 4 will debut on December 27 at 8 PM Japan time during a new broadcast. YouTube, LINE Live, and Periscope will be hosting the stream. Valkyria Chronicles fan Hashiyan Kousaka will act as the MC, and special guests Naomi Ohzora (Nikola Graf voice actress) and Yukiyo Fujii (Chiara Rocino voice actress) will be appearing.

We’ll post the gameplay here as soon as it airs.
