Sega Confirms Valkyria Chronicles Headed To PC
We don’t know when and we don’t know how much it will cost, but Sega just made a big announcement. The original Valkyria Chronicles is coming to PC.
The publisher didn’t even name the title, but between the text and image included in the tweet, it’s clear. Valkyria Chronicles was originally released on PS3 in 2008.

It’s described as a tactical roleplaying game with shooter elements. While it was critically acclaimed, it didn’t earn a console release. The follow-up was shunted to the PSP.
We’re eager to learn more about the return of this title. We’ll update once we have more information.

Our Take
Fingers are crossed that Sega is able to bring both the PS3 original and PSP follow-up to PC. We enjoyed both games, awarding them scores of 8.5. This will breathe new life into a series that has sorely needed another entry (especially since the third entry never arrived in North America).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
