Today you may hear friends buzzing about enjoying a brand new demo for Valkyria Chronicles 4, the following sport within the Sega turn-based tactical RPG collection that’s kinda set in a fantasy-tinged World War II. You may fancy having a crack your self, contemplating the first one was grand when it lastly got here to PC in 2014. You is likely to be bummed to listen to that nah, the demo isn’t on PC and it appears like it might not ever be. A Sega consultant advised me immediately, “at this time, no demo is planned for Steam.” Booo.
The demo launched immediately for PlayStation 4, Xbone, and Switch. And not PC. I’ve requested Sega for extra particulars on why not, and can let you recognize what I hear again. I’d guess that they’re nonetheless doing vital work on the PC model, provided that not having platform certification means optimisation and bugsquishing might be carried out later in growth, however that’s solely a guess.
Here’s what Sega say in regards to the demo in immediately’s launch announcement:
“Experience the series’ signature watercolor aesthetic as presented by the CANVAS Engine and get a feel for the innovative tactical BLiTZ system before the full game launches on September 25. Play through the prologue and first two chapters of the game, as well as an exclusive bonus mission created for the demo. Demo save data, including items obtained, class levels, earned experience, and currency total will transfer over to the full game, so you can pick up right where you left off. Additionally, importing save data from the demo will net you an exclusive accessory for use in the full game.”
Unless you’re enjoying on PC, wherein case you may’t, it received’t, and also you received’t.
It’s an actual disgrace, particularly contemplating that VC4 is the primary time the collection is coming to PC on the identical day as its console launch. Always overlooked ultimately.
Valkyria Chronicles Four is coming via Steam on September 25th, priced at £50/€60/$60. Even with Steam’s refund coverage, that’s a worth the place I’d moderately attempt earlier than shopping for.
