Last night, SEGA unveiled Valkyria Chronicles 4. New details have already come in from this week’s issue of Famitsu.
Gematsu translated some of the tidbits that have leaked out so far. Here’s what we know:
– Producer: Katsura Mikami (one of the producers of Valkyria Revolution)
– Mikami says Valkyria Chronicles 4 will be a “proper evolution that returns to [the series’] origins”
– Set in the same era and intense cold region as the first game
– The new “Grenadier” class can use grenade guns that have long range and high ballistic altitude
– By firing it in the sky, you can unleash an attack that flies over the enemy’s cover
– If an ally catches hold of the enemy’s location information on the front lines, a Grenadier can attack the enemy without the enemy seeing them
– However, they cannot attack an enemy directly in front of them
– Raz is quick to get into fights and talks with a rough tone
– He is a passionate man who cares for his friends
– Kai Schulen is a silent and blunt character who speaks with a manly tone
– Tanks, Scouts, Engineers, Lancers, and such of the series will also appear
– The three-way deadlock of Soldiers, Lancers, and Tanks is also alive and well
– Development is 90% complete
