Valkyria Chronicles III not coming to US and Europe Oct 11th 2011, 11:35 By Jonathan Leo Toyad, GameSpotPosted Oct 11, 2011 4:35 am PT Valkyria Chronicles 2 low sales and localization costs cited as key reasons for Western no-show. The Valkyria Chronicles series was praised for being bold and fresh strategy RPGs that were both beautiful to look at and fun to play. Fans of the series will be disappointed to know that Sega is not planning to localize the third game, Valkyria Chronicles III: Unrecorded Chronicles, for North American and European markets. This story won't be chronicled in English anytime soon. During a recent interview in Singapore, Sega's team manager of console sales team Hiroshi Seno confirmed that the game would not be localized due to the PSP platform not being popular and well-liked in North America and Europe. He also said that localizing the title for English-speaking audience would require past games of that franchise to sell a particular amount of quantities; he added that Valkyria Chronicles II did not sell enough to justify localization costs. When asked whether the game would be out as a downloadable title on the upcoming PlayStation Vita system, Seno said the company would make a concrete decision the next time it meets with Sony. Valkyria Chronicles III sold 102,779 units on its debut week of January 24 in Japan.
