Sega’s beloved infantry SRPG Valkyria Chronicles to rumble onto PC
It looks like the Edelweiss will soon be rolling out of retirement, ready to wage war in a foreign land. In an unexpected post on Twitter, Sega confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles, the cult-favorite Playstation 3 strategy RPG is getting ported to the PC. While many fans would likely much rather see an official localization of the Japan-exclusive Valkyria Chronicles III, this still comes as a welcome surprise, and shows that Sega hasn’t yet forgotten about the gorgeous and cerebral early PS3 classic.
