The Valkyrie Profile franchise returns with Valkyrie Elysium

Rounding out yesterday’s State of Play announcements was Valkyrie Elysium, a new Action RPG set in the Valkryie Profile series, which has not had a console release since 2009. This will be another console exclusive to PS4 & PS5 but is also set for a PC release.
The game is set to incorporate classic Valkyrie series gameplay, including Einherjar – recruitable warriors who will join the hero and fight at her side when summoned.
The gameplay is also described to be a fast-paced combat system that combines strategy and action and promises a unique combo system that will have you thinking and reacting quickly. Square Enix also calls out that the game will have finishing moves and a combination of weapons and magical abilities to overcome tough challenges.
Set in a world where the end times are looming, the Allfather creates a lone Valkyrie to be the salvation of a doomed world who discovers some secrets about this world and help choose its end.
The original composer for the series Motoi Sakuraba has returned to contribute new music for the game as well, something I am sure fans of the series will be happy to hear.
