Valkyria Chronicles 3 confirmed for TGS *UPDATE*

Uh-oh. Looks like Sega’s gone and confirmed Valkyria Chronicles 3 before they could even make the announcement. Currently, an image in GIF format of a show schedule found on Sega’s TGS website reads a few of the company’s presentations as “Coming Soon”. However, changing the extension from GIF to JPG reveals just what those presentations are. If you hadn’t already guessed, it’s Valyria Chronicles 3.

Unfortunately, the table fails to reveal a platform.

The image in question is on the left side of this chart, at the 14:00-14:30 mark:
Valkyria 3
And don’t get too excited about a new console when seeing “PSP2″ over there on the right.  That’s the abbreviation for Phantasy Star Portable 2.
Two other images, including the first artwork:

Nothing is known yet about these characters or what platform the game will appear on, though one of Sega’s URLs is “code1935.jp,” which could suggest the game taking place in 1935 — the same year as the original, oddly.  Perhaps a side story?  It’s too early to tell, of course, but that’s expected to be cleared up at TGS.
RPG Land on Twitter and Facebook will deliver our hands-on impressions of the games of TGS.
