The men and women of Squad 7 return in Valkyria Chronicles 4 DLC trailer

Alicia & Welken return to the battlefield

Sega have released a new two-minute DLC trailer for upcoming strategy sequel Valkyria Chronicles 4. The exclusive mission is featured as part of the game’s Limited Edition release.

Joint Operation will see the new band of heroes from VC 4‘s Squad E team up with the recognisable faces of Squad 7, the heroes of previous Valkyria Chronicles titles. Alicia Melchiott, Welken Gunther, Isara Gunther and others will return to face the opposing forces of the Eastern Imperial Alliance.

Upon completion of Joint Operation, the Squad 7 characters will be available to use in VC 4‘s main campaign mode. While there has been no confirmation that the DLC will feature as a part of the game’s Western release, we all know how this is going to play out.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 launches on PS4 in Japan in March 2018, with a Switch release to follow in Summer. The Western release is scheduled for sometime in 2018.
