Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One Announced for DS, Developed by tri-Ace

Akira_EX | March 13, 2008 | News | DS 
Well-renown JRPG developer tri-Ace is currently known to have two projects on its plate: Star Ocean 4 and Infinite Undiscovery. However, a new project has surfaced by way of Jump magazine: Valkyrie Profile: Toga wo Seou Mono, or Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One.

Graphically, the game will use 2D sprites on a 3D isometric background, and will still retain the series' signature side-view perspective in its gameplay. The main character of this third installment is Wilfred, a silver-haired soldier who hates the Valkyries. He is given a magic feather by Hel, the Queen of Nifelheim. As such, he is determined to seek revenge against the Gods with this feather.

Currently, there are only two screens and a magazine scan.
Jump magazine in Japan has announced that a version of Valkyrie Profile will be making its way to the Nintendo DS. According to initial reports the game will boast ideas similar to the older Valkyrie Profile games that found a home on PlayStation branded consoles, but you won't be playing as a Valkyrie this time round. The game will go by the name Valkyrie Profile: The Accused One. Thanks to the great guys at neoGAF details given in the magazine have been translated that gives us an idea of what to expect from the game:

- The main character is a young soldier with silver hair who hates the Valkyries from past experience.
- He is determined to fight against the gods using the "feather that leads to victory" given to him by Heru from the underworld.
- Every time he uses the power of the wing, it turns darker.
- Ansel is close friend of Wilfred.
- Elise is a mysterious girl from the underworld that seeks to help Wilfred.

    These arent the only new games they are making, they are also remaking the first and second Star Ocean games for PSP, the original never came out anywhere other than japan, and Star Ocean 2(while I thankfully have a copy) is extreamly rare these days.

      TOSE, not tri-Ace, is handling those.

      SO: The First Departure is already out, while The Second Evolution is due next month, IIRC.

    SWEET! Nice to see character portraits are back for the dialogue bits, I missed the first game's character designs and artwork. But will it have the faptastic gameplay, and the ker-razee tunes of SAKURABA?!?

    I've never played any Valkyrie Profile games before, it looks pretty interesting so... I guess this'll be my first one.
