Valkyria Chronicles 4 Is Getting a Japanese Demo Next Week

Sega has a treat coming for Japanese PS4 owners as you'll be able to play a demo of Valkyria Chronicles 4 on the PSN. The announcement was made via the game's Japanese Twitter account, letting fans know the demo would be coming on February 26th. For those of us in the west, below are some notes about the game's storyline via the Prologue Sypnosis to tide us over (which may contain spoilers, courtesy of Weekly Famitsu) which we've loaded below.

1. March 6, 1935…
   Claude and Raz are resting on the Hafen tank in a flower field located inside the Federation's territory. While this scenery doesn't seem to have any connections to war at the first glance, Claude notices something strange with his animal instinct. Just then, an invading unit from the Empire appears. Claude has been preparing for a counter-attack, and he leads the Squad E, which is comprised of elite rangers, to face the enemy.

   Eventually, they are able to repel the Empire army. But instead of celebrating the victory, Claude is saddened to see the flower field ruined by the battle. Claude's kindness is implored in this episode.

2. Operation Northern Cross begins
   Claude and the Squad E return to the base after repelling the Empire army; what awaits them is an order to participate in Operation Northern Cross. 3 months after the war broke out, the Federation army, which had been losing battles against the Empire army in succession, is executing an all-or-nothing operation to raid the Empire's capital.

   Claude and his squad participate in this operation –which is also joined by other squads including Minerva's Squad F– and move towards the Empire's territory. However, they can't help getting halted on an old castle that has been modified into a fortress by the Empire army.

3. Unexpected reinforcements come to rescue Squad E!
   Claude and his squad think that their advancing speed is the key in this operation, which is why they are determined to assault the fortress without waiting for reinforcements. They also receive a report that the Empire had invaded their home country of Gallia, which adds to the reason for their hastened siege. However, the fortress' defenses are very sturdy, making it very difficult to attack.

   At that time, their childhood friend Riley appears as reinforcement with the new weapon Grenade Cannon. While Riley is glad to meet Raz and the others, her facial expression changes when seeing Claude, and she greets him in a harsh way instead.
