attack by the Imperial Army. Play as Edy and command your outnumbered team to
defend the small village from annihilation.

through the eyes of the enemy.

Valkyria Chronicles is set in a
fictitious continent reminiscent of 1930s Europe which has been divided in two
and ruled by the Empire and the Federation. The Empire has set its sights on
invading a small neutral country called Gallia, which is situated in the middle
of the two great empires. The game follows a hero named Welkin and his fellow
soldiers of Gallian civilian militia’s 7th Platoon. They fight against the
Empire, who are intent on unifying the continent under its power. Gallia
discovers that the Empire possesses a secret weapon, known as the “Valkyria”- an
ancient race with special powers thought to exist only in legends. With this new
discovery, the fate of Gallia’s ability to win the war and a hope for a better
future hangs in the balance.

Valkyria Chronicles downloadable
content will be available for the PLAYSTATION® 3 computer entertainment system
in spring 2009.
