[Review] Valkyria Chronicles 4
Posted on 5 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 25, 2018
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a the long-awaited return to the franchise’s roots. After ten years, some strange PSP sequels and odd unwanted offshoots like Valkyria Revolution, this is the first full-on watercolor outing since 2008. If you played Valkyria Chronicles, then you already have a good idea of what to expect here – and from that standpoint this is exactly what could be expected out of a (good) sequel.

Although production of the Sonic Mania Adventures series of animated shorts was presumed to have been completed over a month ago, it appears as though a new project might be in the works at SEGA. Confirmation of this may not have come as officially as the company would have liked, however, as the watchful eyes of the internet may have caught the series’ production manager slipping.
During a visit to SEGA’s headquarters yesterday, the production manager shared the Instagram post below with a rather clear indication that a new Sonic animated series is in the works in-house at SEGA.

There are already quite a few games that are part of the SEGA Ages lineup, with more on the way. SEGA is now holding a survey via Twitter, asking fans which games to want to see added. The survey only runs for a couple of days, until September 17, 23:59 JST, as the results will announced on September 22nd at the SEGA Ages stage event at Tokyo Game Show. Click here to take part in the journey via Twitter; fill in the name of the game in the brackets. It’s probably best to use the game’s Japanese name, as this is essentially a Japanese survey.
