Love Valkyria Chronicles? Do you want the series to return to the PS3?

SEGA has recently released a new comment on the PlayStation Blog hyping fans up for a possible continuation of the series on the PS3.

What’s the catch? Just buy Valkyria Chronicles II for the PSP, of course!

Is this just another tease from SEGA?

Commenting on the torrent of responses to a Valkyria Chronicles II (PSP) post over at the official blog where fervent fans of the original decided to hijack the thread and bark on about those missing Trophies once again, Sega’s Aaron Webber had something interesting to say about the now fabled Valkyria Chronicles update. And, guess what folks, it could happen.

Fans of Valkyria Chronicles unite! SEGA has announced that more DLC is on the way and that the latest additions are coming as a ‘thank you’ to the game’s fan base.

Popping up in the latest edition of leading Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, it would appear that Sega have not been too disgruntled by the early sluggish sales of luscious strategy RGP Valkyria Chronicles and are planning a sequel.

Considering the game is an unappreciated gem and is finally getting the recognition it deserves, we’re not that shocked.

However, what did take us by surprise is that it’s currently only planned for the PSP.

When a much hyped game doesn’t receive the initial sales its publisher anticipated, there’s always the fear that it will quickly be forgotten about; relegated to the ranks of “We tried something different, it didn’t do too well, we’re moving on.”

Not so with Sega who, recognising that lush RPG Valkryia Chronicles is a quality product with a fervent fan base, are continuing to produce new and exciting DLC. With a number of packs already available, we now have news that another download is on the way.

We admit it. We are biased. Biased towards good games. There, we said it. Posted in the infinite depths of the internet for generations and generations. And another thing, we think that Valkyria Chronicles is a good game. More on that later.

If you share our feelings about Valkyria Chronicles then why not show your allegiance and vote for your favorite comeback story of 2009 in the 27th Annual Golden Joystick Awards?

Talk about a comeback story. After less than optimal global sales for the stellar looking (and stellar playing) Valkyria Chronicles we received great news from the SEGA America Blog. Thanks to all the hard work from the hardcore fans (this humble PS3A cast included), and last week’s DLC release, Valkyria Chronicles is now one the top PS3 games both the United States and Japan.
But how big of an impact could a five month old game have on the American and Japanese markets?

It seemed only yesterday that we were telling you about some new DLC for perpetually under-appreciated and allround excellent RPG Valkyria Chronicles. OK, it was actually last month but who’s counting?

Three new DLC packs are coming for Sega’s RPG gem Valkyria Chronicles.

With new missions on offer and the ability to make the game harder, will this convince you to take a chance on this neglected neo-classic?

We take a look at the state of PS3 in Japan. With some big games coming out and a run in the hardware charts has Sony finally turned the corner in terms of the flagging success of the console in the region?
