Valkryia Chronicles 4 has been in production for the last two years, Sega recently confirmed.
The news comes by way of the PlayStation Blog, which featured an interview with Producer, Kei Mikami.
“It’s been about two years since the project officially startedm” Mikami said. “It might be a little longer if you include the time our director, Mr. Yamash*ta, spent in the planning phase.”
Chronicles 4 continues Sega’s plan to introduce the world of Valkyria to the world at large. The release of Valkyria Chronicles Remastered in 2016 (which we reviewed here) was also quite strategic, Mikami said.
“The aim of this Valkyria Project is to expand the series on a global scale. We haven’t released a mainline title since Valkyria Chronicles 3 in 2011, so our goal from the beginning was to attract new audiences worldwide. Our overarching vision is to return to the original Valkyria Chronicles’ roots, while building on improvements from the rest of the series. Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the culmination of everything we’ve learned up to this point.
We began setting the groundwork for this project with Valkyria Chronicles Remastered for PS4. Our intent was to let fans experience Valkyria Chronicles’ origins and core gameplay on a next-gen console before moving forward with a brand-new numbered entry to the main series.”

Valkyria Chronicles 4 heads to Xbox One, PS4 and Switch next year. It was announced yesterday.
