With a month remaining until they first release the JRPG Dark Rose Valkyrie in North America and PAL regions, Idea Factory International have provided a look at the game’s opening cinematic. This can be found above.
In Dark Rose Valkyrie, you are tasked with leading an elite military force known as ACID (Anti-Chimera Interception Division) – an organisation which stands between humanity and those transformed by a mysterious enemy. But in a twist somewhat similar to Lancarse’s Lost Dimension, you must combat this threat knowing that some of your allies will have turned by this threat.
To identify whom has turned, you must gather testimonies to suss out who is lying about a certain topic. As you question each person about a topic, you can get proof to corroborate or expose their testimony using special interview skills. You are given a set amount of questions you can ask, so you can either choose to ask multiple people one question, or reserve all of your questions for one person. Using these questions… you must determine whom has turned.
Idea Factory International have shared a new batch of English localised screenshots surrounding this interview system, which can be viewed below:
If the official artwork seems a little bit familiar, it is because the game features artwork by Tales of series character designer Kosuke Fujishima. Dark Rose Valkyrie also features work by Tales of series scenario writer Takumi Miyajima.
Dark Rose Valkyrie will be released on the PlayStation 4 in North America starting June 6th 2017 – and a few days later in June 9th 2017 in PAL Regions.
THE STORY OF DARK ROSE VALKYRIE
In the year 1929, a massive outbreak occurred, transforming normal people into inhuman creatures known as Chimera.
The cause: a mysterious virus carried over by a meteorite known as the Black Garnet, which had crashed into earth long ago.
At its inception, the Chimera Virus wiped out 3% of the world’s entire population. To stave off the pandemic, Japan closed its nation to the rest of the world and formed a covert military agency known as ACID (Anti-Chimera Interception Division) to combat the remaining Chimera in the country.
Over time, ACID established within itself a special unit known as Special Force Valkyrie. You must lead this force and eradicate the Chimera that remain to this day!
