Valkyria Revolution, known in Japan as Valkyria: Azure Revolution (Japanese: 蒼き革命のヴァルキュリア? Hepburn: Aoki Kakumei no Varukyuria, lit. "Valkyria of the Blue Revolution"), is a role-playing video game developed by Media.Vision for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita and Xbox One. It was first released in Japan in January 2017, and will be released worldwide later that year. In a PSN blog post dated March 27 Sega confirmed they are going to release both Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita versions in June. It is part of the Valkyria series, but is considered to be a spin-off and separate from the Valkyria Chronicles games.
Valkyria Revolution is an role-playing game with both action and strategy elements. The flow of the game consists of the player preparing at their base, going to the battlefield to achieve their objectives, and then returning to the base again. The game includes the possibility of permanent death for the characters, but players are able to retry if one of them die.
The small country of Jutland is economically blockaded by Ruzhien, a powerful empire that expanded its territory and achieved rapid industrial development after discovering the azure mineral Ragnite; this mineral is used as an energy resource, but also has magical properties. Wanting independence from colonial rule, Jutland strikes the base of the empire's army. In addition to humans, the game world is inhabited by Valkyria; they are supernatural in comparison to humans, and close to being gods. Players take the role of Amleth, the commanding officer of Jutland's elite anti-Valkyria unit. Among other characters are Jutland's princess Ophelia, and Brynhildr, a Valkyria who is on the Ruzhien Empire's side.
