New DLC announced for Valkyria Chronicles

It seems like the little engine that could isn't done chugging yet! New DLC has been announced for Valkyria Chronicles in the latest issue of Famitsu. Details are still sketchy, but the DLC is called 'Battle Challenge'! Is an online competitive multiplayer coming to the game? Seems likely!

::fist pumps::

Hell yea! Online versus will be sick!

[Darrius Cole]

YES!!!! I'm there!!!! As soon as it is available I'm buying it.

[Giriath]

Online would indeed be absolutely awesome, but how does Battle Challenge likely translate to an online competetive mode? Additional skirmishes sounds more likely to me.

[SullyDrake]

I REALLY want Trophies for this game.

[jessehaysfl]

I think we will se a trophy patch soon, if they continue to support VC.

[menoyou]

omg this is exactly what ive always dreamed of. this will be the first DLC i will actually buy EVER! i never thought i would! omg hell yes

[sonarus]

online versus > trophies

[ThanatosDMC]

I forgot about this game... Thank you Demon's Souls.

Someone mail me this content I'm stuck in Iraq with very low bandwidth speeds.

Microsoft be warned I see the USOs and MWRs becoming Playstation fanboys again PS3s starting to equal or surpass in number to the number of Xbox 360s. PS2s has already been the most popular hardware and is still supported over here.

online multiplayer?..mm i wonder how this would work..it seems interesting to say the least tho..STEVEN! I call TDM with u on my squad if true.

[Giriath]

Easy, playlists with optional filters sorting which maps and game types you want to play and the ability to issue a challenge to a particular PSN account or friend. Swap the AI for a real player, all the mechanics are already there.

[TheColbertinator]

Your no match for me Wildarmsjecht.I will crush your pathetic squads with a simple sniper strike

[Wildarmsjecht]

I see the idea of us working side by side is out of the question...we shall meet on the battle as foes. I expect nothing but the best from you my good friend. It will make your defeat all the more sweeter.

Thanks for the idea Raptor Jesus..it would work that well.

[TheColbertinator]

Pffft keep dreaming

[ultimolu]

Damn Colbert, you're cold. :P

[PirateThom]

I hope it is a multiplayer mode, the mechanics would work really well.

[SpaceSquirrel]

More VC is always nice =]

[Scrooge McDuck]

I still have yet to get this game im really loving the anime. Anybody who played and beat the game is the anime anything like the game?

[JL]

I've never watched any of the anime, however I do hear that if you like one then you'll definitely like the other. In essence, really i don't see how you can't like the game at all. The game is awesome, trust me you won't regret getting this game. Some things i do hear are that the art style in the game is better (it truly is beautiful). And i hear the anime takes a few liberties with the story, though not in a way to ruin it. The way i understand it is that the anime concentrates more on the characters and personalities whereas the game gives more focus on the story of tactics and the battles. Though that doesn't mean you don't get any personality from the game and the characters aren't developed (lord knows they did it well enough in the game to extract a few tears from me). But honestly, you will not regret buying and playing this game. I absolutely loved it, and i've never heard anyone who played it say otherwise.

I'm glad to hear SEGA still supporting this amazing title. Hopefully they add trophies too.

[SpaceSquirrel]

A sequel would be nice too...

[jams_shop]

I agree. I would love to play a sequel. All PS3 owners should play this game. Now is the best time to get Valkyria Chronicles cause its price drop few months ago and the next great RPG is a couple months away from release date.

[FrankFoxJaegar]

+1 for a sequel, but I'm glad they are supporting the game still too. Maybe at the end of the anime they will announce it(it's still running in Japan, right?).

[JL]

I would absolutely love a sequel. I was late to get this game, but once i did i fell in love with the game. It's amazing. If they do a sequel I'd be there to buy it day one. No doubt about that. I second the sentiment that all ps3 owners should play this game. As for the DLC, I still haven't bought any of it. Though I do want to go back at some point and buy that DLC where you play Selvaria's side of the story. And this one here would indeed be interesting if it was online multiplayer. All the mechanics are there for it and this game would translate very very well into multiplayer.

I am hitting my self in the face with my keyboard for not getting this game when this game was on sale at gamestop for $30

now please excuse me why i continue on hitting my self in the head...

lol

[Ps_alm3k]

If this has online, this will be even greater!!!
Its just like playing a game of chess and where you place your troops will determine your victory.
Put competitive in and this game will surely sale more.
And on top of that use this game engine excessively on future games.

[Godmars290]

Squad turn based multiplayer online games. Lets you set up your actions, then watch them play out.

And just imagine a record option.

[esegk]

"イーディ分隊の挑戦状！" means "Letter of challenge from Edie squad",
prolly not including online feature...

[Godmars290]

Don't ruin our dreams with the truth! Don't you know better!

:cry:

[JL]

Oh. well guess that ruins the thought of multiplayer. All the same, new missions can't be bad for this game. as long as it's not some single mission thing like that one in the last batch.

just noticed somebody said it's 10 missions, which, as long as it's not overpriced, is definitely worth a pickup at some point.

*nods*

[clintos59]

Ive been loving this game and always thought how much fun it would be to play some1 online. Then this news pops up, wow if this is true then ill be stuck on this game for a while. Best SRPG out there. Anyone who owns a ps3 and love final fantasy tactics, then you will love how this game takes those mechanics to another level.

[Ps_alm3k]

Why!? Why did you translate it, why!?

on a nother note, thanks for clearing it up. : )

"Letter of challenge from Edie squad"
*including 6 challenging missions
*it will be released on Jun-26 in Japan
*300yen

[Bonsai1214]

if it is online, there'd be a need for a time limit per turn, otherwise people would just idle and their opponent will quit. but i can see it being a very interesting game of chess. Fantastic game. the anime isn't really up to par with the game, but its no means bad.

[nightelfmohawk]

I've been wanting this for so long. Please make it so, Sega! :D

[ultimolu]

Love how they keep supporting the game. Nice!

[allstarpt19]

i really hope this is true

[drdre74]

I suck major balls. I still have yet to beat this game. I need to finish it. Its been along time since i got it. I bought and then i got RE5 and and call of duty and infamous and then UFC so i havent gone back to it. I need to finish games before i buy another one.
