Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a game of extremes. Its romantic attitude towards soldiers clashes with a desire to tell a tale of mass violence and corpse-laden battlefields. It is as intimate as it is loud, and each moment captivates even if the parts are often greater than the whole.
The silly season rolls on. While there's no major platform exclusive, there's plenty of highlights: the Life is Strange sequel lands, football fans get another story mode to explore in FIFA 19, Ultimate Chicken Horse gets pride of place on the Switch, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 officially drops. There's also a new Pathfinder game, which is fun.
If you're still reeling from this year's disappointing Valkyria spinoff, here's some welcome news: Valkyria Chronicles 4 is happening, and it's coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch in 2018. Don't worry: publisher Sega says the game is coming to North America and Europe, too.
