SEGA has narrowed down the release window for Valkyria Chronicles 4 in the west slightly. Though we previously knew it was planned for this year, we can now say it’s coming this fall. That applies to both North America and Europe.
Retailers have started listing Valkyria Chronicles 4 for October 16. However, we don’t believe there’s much merit as that’s just a placeholder data.
You can access Valkyria Chronicles 4’s new English website here.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World was intended to be SEGA’s answer to Super Mario Bros. Yet even before that, there was a very different plan in mind for the project.
Kotaro Hayashida, who created Alex Kidd, revealed in the new Untold History of Japanese Game Developers book that the game started out as a Dragon Ball title. However, SEGA was forced to make a major change when it lost the license. Hayashida said that when the project restarted, that’s when the team “started thinking about Mario, and looking for ways in which to differentiate the title from it.”
