‘Valkyria Chronicles’ Beats All Expectations To Become Number 1 On Steam!

If you were around for the early, painful years of the PS3, you’ll probably remember how surprisingly great Valkyria Chronicles was. Almost seven years after the 3rd person strategy RPG hit consoles, the game was released on Steam this past week, and based on early sales, our love for the title is still as strong as ever.

Sega is reporting that within the first 24 hours, VC has risen to the top of the Steam sales charts, proving that new and old fans alike are enthusiastic about revisiting the trails of war. From John Clark, Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing for SEGA Europe,

“We’re also delighted at the response from the Steam community which indicates that newcomers to the series are finding it as enchanting and engaging as those who have played it before.”

Hopefully this sends a loud, clear response to the higher ups that we love this series and would like to see it continue. Sales of the two games in the States were tepid to say the least, leading us to never get a chance to play the third game, but you also have to keep in mind that the PS3 had a low user base at the time of release, while the second one was a drastic change for the original, (while avoiding the PS3 altogether and releasing on the PSP). Is there a chance that we can finally get what many consider to be the best game out of the three? At least on the Vita? Sega is one of the few publishers that remembers the handheld exists, so never say never. Pretty please, Sega?
