SEGA of America has announced that Valkyria Chronicles is coming exclusively to the Playstation 3. Soon to be released in Japan as Valkyria of the Battlefield: Gallian Chronicles, Valkyria Chronicles combines the strategy elements of a tactical role-playing game with real-time action sequences. Valkyria Chronicles is set in a fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe, divided in two, and ruled by the Empire and the Federation.

The game follows a hero named Welkin and his fellow soldiers of the Federation’s 7th Platoon as they engage in a series of epic battles. A new type of tactical battle mechanic has been specifically designed for Valkyria Chronicles that gives players the freedom to strategically move around the environment and attack enemies using real-time controls. You can expect Valkyria Chronicles to land on the Playstation 3 later this Fall.
