West Gets Valkyria Chronicles DLC — Lets You Be The Bad Guys

Sega’s unhyped tactical rpg only went on sale yesterday in the US — it’s been out in Europe for a week — but we’ve already been promised that DLC from Japan will make it over to both territories.

The first is an extra hard skirmish mode, while the second, a new mission, turns the storyline on it’s head: The original campaign has you defending your homeland (Gallia) from invasion. Now you get to lead that invasion yourself.

Based on this article from Famitsu the new mission is rather meatier than its name implies, boasting three original battles, new story sequences and new voice acting. If special conditions are met (we don’t know what they are yet) you’ll be rewarded with Selvaria’s special gun, Ruhm (‘glory’ in german) which you can also use in the Gallian battles.

No word on price yet, but Valkyria Chronicles’ US producer, Christopher Kaminski revealed on the official Playstation blog we’ll be getting both early next year.

    I realize this isn’t a recent posting, but the DLC that this article is about is not one of the DLCs that has been confirmed for N. American release in early 2009. Specifically, the producer was referring to the first DLC mission expansion, called Edy’s Adventure, and the Hard EX Skirmish mode.

    The Selvaria multi-mission DLC has not be confirmed for release here, but I hope it will be. It was released more recently in Japan and is larger, so give it time.
