Final Valkyria Chronicles DLC coming Feb. 25 photo

It took its damn time getting here, but the final pack of Valkyria Chronicles DLC is landing on North America's many shores on Feb. 25. A little while ago SEGA had announced that the DLC was coming some time during the winter of 2010, but we're just now getting a confirmed date. With winter ending in March, SEGA sure is cutting it close.

The DLC is titled "Challenges of they Edy Detachment" and features six new maps. Each map is designed for a specific solider class in Edy's team, meaning they'll all use different strategies to beat. For those Valkyria Chronicles die-hards out there this should tide you over until the PSP action starts up. I actually kind of like the fact that DLC is still coming out for a game over a year old even if it is because they just delayed its NA release a whole lot.

Whose diving back into VC on the 25th?

You're usually terrible at editing your posts, but this one was funniest of all for some reason.

I'm surprised that they haven't added any trophies to the main game with the DLC. If they're still making content for the game you would think that would be the easiest way to make people dive back into the game.

Loved this game. I really wish they would add in trophy support. It would give me an excuse to play it all the way through again.

Nice! The original Edy DLC was short but hilarious. Hoping for more of the same goofy atmosphere this time as well.

And they can keep making all the DLC they want - it'd unlikely I'll EVER get to play the PSP-only sequel.

Will these challenges feature cutscenes, I wonder? Doubt it, but I'll still definitely purchase.

Love that render, too. <3 Edy

Hell yes, I love this game and can't wait for that DLC. Also can't wait for VC2.

Just in time to fill that gap between Heavy Rain and FFXIII.

I was an idiot and thought the "Love Conquers All" bundle was the new DLC. Glad to see that my confusion wasn't for naught!

I'm still working on the entire main game. I'll definitely be getting all the DLC after I'm finished, though, believe you me.

Dy-no-mite!!! Now let's get a REAL sequel. It's like, if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make any noise? If a game is released on the PSP which no on owns, does it count?

I've owned this game since December of 2008. I have no clue why I haven't even played it yet. New DLC seems nice, but I'd really like some trophies. Even so, I will be sure to check some of this out and get myself into the game.

I know when I start the game and get half way through it they will release trophy support. That is why mine is still sitting on the shelf with the plastic warp and the Best Buy price tag that says $4.99.

I picked this game up with my PS3 a month ago, and I'm still slowly making my way through it, but I bought the bundle of first 3 DLCs, and I'll probably be buying this one as well. Great game, I just kinda suck at it, so each mission is taking a long time.

Fuck Edy and Japan's bizarre character fetishes.

That said, still going to download this DLC if it turns out to be any good.

When will they give us the DLC we've all demanded? I won't be happy till I get the Welkin and Felicia bang pack.

No trophies? No thanks.

Because without trophies, it's not a good game? Gotta have little imaginary rewards in order to enjoy something? Your loss.

Eh? More Edy crap? Only got the Selvaria DLC before, so meh.

@Wedge. Same. I never used Edy in the game. But given that this is six maps, I'll probably pick it up.

@The7thLevel- You are a fucking idiot.

I'm LTTP with Valkyria Chronicles as I got my PS3 for Christmas and picked VC last month. I'm loving it so far and will definitely pick up all of the DLC.

Love valkyria chronicles, only thing that would keep me from playing the entire game over again is matches play out the same way almost every time. Higher difficulty just makes you die quicker for the most part.

Quit trying to make me like Edy. =/ Shocktroopers with Panicky make as much sense as something that doesn't make any sense.

IIRC, these six maps are unused from the campaign.

If so, frickin' day ONE.

I loved the Edy Detachment, solely because of Jann and Homer, two of my favorite units.
