Remember Valkyria Chronicles? You know, the nifty watercolor-styled faux-World War II turn-based strategy game for the PS3 that nobody played? OK, it seems like someone must have bought the game, because it's got enough of an installed base now to justify a downloadable content pack, which Sega just announced will be hitting the PlayStation Network next Thursday the 16th for a respectable $4.99.
So what will your five bones get you? Here's the official company line on the contents of the pack.
- Hard EX Mode Fight your way once again through the entire Imperial army, where the enemies are more lethal and your main tank Edelweiss is unavailable. You’ll have to be more strategic in order to overcome your opponents.
- Edy’s Mission “Enter the Edy Detachment” Six members have been separated from Squad 7 and on their journey to reunite with their squad, they stumble upon a tiny village under attack by the Imperial Army. Play as Edy and command your outnumbered team to defend the small village from annihilation.
- Selvaria’s Mission “Behind Her Blue Flame” Taking place right after the outbreak of Gallian battle lines, you play as Johann, a young and meek engineer assigned to Selvaria’s troop. See the action as it unfolds behind enemy lines and see the war play out through the eyes of the enemy.
Sega also put out a ponderous load of DLC screenshots for your perusal.
