Valkyria Chronicles is in the works

SEGA has announced it has started working on Valkyria Chronicles, a tactical RPG for the PlayStation3.

Valkyria Chronicles is set in an alternate Europe, around the 1930s, during a conflict between the Empire and Federation, where the bad guys uncover an ancient race and use it to conquer the world.

SEGA will use the CANVAS engine for the game’s graphics, which will make it look like a watercolor painting in motion (something like Okami perhaps?). “With its stunningly unique visual style and the new BLITZ tactical system, Valkyria Chronicles is sure to entice gamers to enter its special world and join Welkin and Alicia in their cause to save Gallia” said Elliot Chin, director of marketing for SEGA of America.

Valkyria Chronicles is set to be released in fall 2008, exclusively for the PS3.
