Ahead of next month’s release, Sega released a new trailer depicting the Valkyria Chronicles Remastered’s story.

The year is 1935 E.C., and the continent of Europa has been plunged into the Second Europan War between the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance and the Atlantic Federation over the precious resource Ragnite. The Empire is sweeping through the continent like an unchecked wildfire and has its eyes set on the rich Ragnite deposits of the Principality of Gallia. Although peaceful Gallia remains neutral in the conflict, its citizens will need to defend home and country against the inevitable invasion. Players follow Lieutenant Welkin Gunther and the vaunted Squad 7 of the Gallian Militia as they take on the seemingly insurmountable forces of the Empire.

For those who have yet to dive into the Valkyria Chronicles franchise, the game features a unique battle system dubbed Blitz. It mixes turn-based strategy, part RPG, and part real-time 3rd person shooter genre. Additionally, the Remastered edition will include all the previously released DLC for the original PS3 version.

The remastered version of Valkyria Chronicles is currently set to release May 17th in North America and the UK exclusively for PS4.
