SEGA is hinting gamers about not one but two upcoming releases in the West, as confirmed by their Facebook, YouTube and Tumblr accounts.
PC Gamer Weekender Brought Up the Valkyria Chronicles Remaster, and SEGA Has Confirmed It
SEGA hinted at a possible western release of the Valkyria Chronicles Remaster. The game is coming out in the PS4 port of the PS3 in Japan on February 10. In the video recapping the PC Gamer Weekender, SEGA European Community Manager made a bunch of announcements regarding eastern and western releases of games.
SEGA spoke about Total War: WARHAMMER, special discounts on games such as Tembo the Badass Elephant and other big perks that the game developer is releasing on different platforms. The official announcement on whether or not the Valkyria Chronicles Remaster will be available in the West is expected to come next week.
SEGA Also Slipped Hints on A Different Game on Facebook
In the company’s Facebook page, a message went live that alarmed some classics fans. To be exact, the company said that ‘if you’re a fan of the classics, you might want to tune in tomorrow for our new game announcement’. Chilling stuff!
What could this mean? Well, 2016 marks the 25th anniversary since the inception of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. After the company released the SEGA 3D Classics Archives 2 for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan last year, it’s possible they could be fully revamping the series.
The Mystery Deepens on Tumblr
SEGA hasn’t made any announcements regarding how they’re going to celebrate Sonic’s 25th birthday, but this might just be a clue. A similar message was found in the tags of a similar post on Tumblr. The game developer reblogged a picture of NFL player C. J. Anderson wearing a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt and included the following in the tags: ‘We have something coming up in February that some of you will be interested. But we can’t talk about it yet! Don’t tell anyone you saw this hint in the Tumblr tags – okay?’
We’re going to go ahead and put our money on either a bunch of new Sonic merch hitting retailers or a new Sonic the Hedgehog game. Either way, it’s going to be an amazing year for SEGA, and fans can’t wait.
