With a week to go until their launch of JRPG Dark Rose Valkyrie on the PlayStation 4 in North America and PAL regions, Idea Factory International have shared a new collection of battle screenshots for the game. These screenshots also highlight one of the split personalities you will have to deal with outside of battle, an effect of the Chimera Virus which continues to plague the world.
Dark Rose Valkyrie features work by scenario writer Takumi Miyajima and character designer Kousuke Fujishima – both of whom are known for their work on Bandai Namco’s Tales series. In this game you are tasked with leading a military force known as ACID (Anti-Chimera Interception Division), tasked with defeating those who have been transformed into Chimeras through viral infection. However along with facing those foes, you must determine whom in your team has turned themselves…
The Backstory 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!
