Valkyria Revolution Has a Special Soundtrack
May 31, in the year of our Lord 2017 -- The
world of Valkyria Revolution is inspired by the European
industrial revolution era and focuses on a war of liberation
between two vastly different nations. With this in mind,
legendary composer Yasunori Mitsuda has created a score that
reflects the classic feel of that era for the game. What better
way to do this than to have the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra conduct
a live concert-hall recording for the soundtrack? Plus, previous
Mitsuda collaborator Sarah Àlainn, a multilingual
Australian-Japanese singer with a voice spanning over 3 octaves,
lends her hauntingly beautiful voice to a couple tracks.
Oh, and digital pre-orders for the game are now live for PS4 and
Xbox One! Joining the elite Vanargand unit is a huge honor and
those who pick the digital pre-order route will be gifted with a
few extra items to help in the good fight. For the Americas,
prospective recruits will receive The Formation of Vanargand and
The Ring of Contract DLC Scenarios, 30 ragnite shards, a
collection of special ragnite to use in combat (Time Flux+, Heal
Field+, Fall Earth+, and Shine Calibur+). If you reside in the
European theatre, you'll receive the 30 ragnite shards and the
Time Flux+, Heal Field+, and Fall Earth+ ragnites.
PS4 owners who digitally pre-order Valkyria Revolution will also
get an exclusive "The Princess and the Valkyria" theme to
display proudly. Check out Brunhilde and Princess Ophelia in all
their glory below!
In the wake of a revolution, Jutland's elite soldiers, the
Vanargand, must band together to defeat the Ruzi Empire and stop
death itself-the Valkyria. This grizzled anti-Valkyria squad is
equipped with advanced mana weaponry and has the powerful
ability to wield ragnite spells to combat this terrifying
threat. The unit is comprised of soldiers who have a high
affinity for ragnite, and even Jutland's own Princess Ophelia
has joined the ranks. The princess carries the utmost love for
her country and has answered the call of duty to liberate those
who are suffering from the Ruzi's tyranny. However, Amleth
Grønkjær, the commanding officer of Vanargand hides a terrible
secret. Is he friend or foe to the country he has sworn to
protect?
Valkyria Revolution Features:
A Brush with Death - Turning the tide of battle in Valkyria
Revolution is Brunhilde, an ancient and powerful Valkyria, a
fearsome being with near limitless power. She's bound by oath to
the enemy forces, and players will have to discover how to
defeat the incarnation of death itself.
Prepare for Battle - Valkyria Revolution has a brand new battle
system that mixes real-time combat and tactical strategy.
Players can take control of the battlefield using brazen combos
or cunning tactics. Finding a balance between them is the key to
excelling in skirmishes.
The Ingenuity of War - Through adversity comes great
engineering, and with a besieged homeland, players will be able
to upgrade their existing weapons through branching
customization paths with ragnite.
A New Painterly Look - Valkyria Revolution has a refined look
thanks to the new GOUACHE rendering engine, giving the graphics
a unique canvas texture.
Classic Composer - Valkyria Revolution has a vibrant and
dramatic soundtrack by the incredibly talented composer Yasunori
Mitsuda, who is known for his work on Chrono Trigger and Stella
Glow.

quality Jutland military gear. That's why pre-orders and limited
launch copies of the physical PS4 and Xbox One versions in the
Americas will come packaged as the "Vanargand Edition." This
special edition comes with a bold pin inscribed with the
