SEGA continues the series, and they announced a Western release simultaneously with the Japanese one.
We’re in 1935, in the second European war, which is still happening between the Atlantic Federation and the Autocratic Eastern Imperial Alliance. The story concentrates on the capturing of the eastern group’s capital. The combat system, the BLiTZ, which is part top-down view turn-based strategy, part real-time TPS, is going to be overhauled. The Grenadier will be a new class, and there will also be a Last Stand option for us to attack before we bit the bullet for good. The entire game will continue to use the CANVAS graphical engine, which keeps the hand-drawn visual style. The music will be handled by Hitoshi Sakimoto (Valkyria Chronicles, Final Fantasy XII, Vagrant Story, Tekken 6…).
There’s also an announcement trailer, which is five and a half minutes long – that’s massive. SEGA will launch the game in Japan on March 21 on PlayStation 4, followed by a Switch port in the Summer. The Western audience will receive the game in 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
