The original article continues below:

The original Valkyria Chronicles is headed to Nintendo Switch shortly after Valkyria Chronicles 4 makes its debut on the console later this month. We’ve suspected it for a while, but Sega made it official this weekend at PAX West.

Sega was quick to confirm that the Switch version is not the remastered version that was released on the PlayStation 4 and other platforms, so it’s unclear how the game will look or perform on the Switch.

Valkyria Chronicles has swiftly become a modern classic, presenting rich, varied strategy RPG gameplay with a moving story and memorable characters, so naturally folks are excited to see the game find a new home on Nintendo Switch.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 arrives on Switch on September 25, and you can expect Valkyria Chronicles to follow shortly after on October 16. Players who already own Valkyria Chronicles 4 will get a $5 discount on the first game.
