Valkyrie Profile , launched in 1999, was developed at the time by tri-Ace ( Star Ocean ) and published by Enix ( Dragon Quest ): as much to say that the project was in good hands and moreover, the reception was there. you since immediately imposing itself as an RPG classic. Several ports were born on other platforms (like the PSP, nostalgia when you hold us) but also several sequels: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria on PS2 in 2006, then Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume on Nintendo DS in 2008.

RAGNAROK IS COMING
As the series wants, the world of Valkyrie Elysium is directly inspired by Norse mythology: this time we will explore the end of humanity and its relationship with the Gods, following the adventures of a solitary valkyrie. This one will try to save the different kingdoms, on which Ragnarök will not be long in coming down.
Valkyrie Elysium will be offered in particular in the form of an action-RPG, with punchy gameplay and daunting enemies.
