Valkyria Chronicles (Japanese: 戦場のヴァルキュリア -Gallian Chronicles- Hepburn: Senjō no Varukyuria -Garian Kuronikuruzu-?, "Valkyria of the Battlefield -Gallian Chronicles-") is a tactical role-playing game developed and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 in 2008. A Microsoft Windows version was released in November 11, 2014. A remastered version for PlayStation 4 was released in Japan on February 10, 2016 with a Western release on May 17, 2016. Both PC and PS4 versions include previously released downloadable content.
The game is set in Europa, a fictional region loosely based on Europe during the early years of World War II. Because of its abundance of Ragnite ore, which takes the place of petroleum in the game setting, the neutral nation of Gallia comes under attack from the East Europan Imperial Alliance, which is itself engaged in war with the Atlantic Federation. Players take control of a unit of the Gallian Militia, dedicated to repelling the invasion. The game's visuals, which use Sega's CANVAS graphics engine, resemble pencil drawn paintings in motion.
Valkyria Chronicles earned numerous awards from several notable video game publications. The success of the game spawned a media franchise, including several manga titles and an anime series. Two sequels were released for PlayStation Portable, Sony's handheld gaming console: Valkyria Chronicles II in 2010, and Valkyria Chronicles III in 2011. A fourth installment, Valkyria: Azure Revolution, is set to be released on January 19, 2017 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
