SEGA’s critically acclaimed RPG Valkyria Chronicles will be receiving a re-release in Japan later this year as part of the PlayStation 3’s ‘The Best’ range.
Due to launch on March 5, 2009 this re-release will carry a reduced price tag of JPY 3,990 (roughly USD 43), as well as throwing in the Edie Nelson mission, which is currently only available as a download in Japan. As some of you may recall, Valkyria Chronicles failed to set the charts alight upon its release in North America late last year, faring only marginally better in the land of the rising sun.
Hopefully, this re-release will stimulate consumer interest in an otherwise highly accomplished JRPG.
