News: A new adventure in the Valkyrie series is headed our way later this year in an all new action-RPG.

Square Enix announced today that Valkyrie Elysium, an all-new action-RPG in the Valkyrie series, is coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles and Steam this year. Developed by Soleil Ltd., Valkyrie Elysium draws on the richness of Norse mythology to present an original story set in a world on the brink of destruction, full of danger and fast-paced action combat.

The trailer provides a first glimpse of the game’s protagonist, a young Valkyrie who is entrusted with the fate of the world by the All-Father, the highest of gods and ruler of all creation. She will face various enemies on her quest and must utilize a variety of weapons, magic, and the power of her allies to prevent Ragnarok—the destruction of the world. Valkyrie Elysium calls on its roots with music from series regular Motoi Sakuraba while driving the series forward in a fresh, new direction with classic combat mechanics, such as finishing moves and combo systems, reimagined for an action RPG. The game also features character designs by Yuya Nagai of CyDesignation, Inc.

The Valkyrie series is a long-running RPG series that has drawn on inspiration from Norse mythology to create unique worlds and complex narratives. The series began with Valkyrie Profile, released in the year 2000 in the west, and tells the story of the Valkyrie Lenneth and her various companions who embark on a mission to prevent the destruction of Asgard. The series is also renowned for its music, composed by series regular Motoi Sakuraba. Releasing in 2022, Valkyrie Elysium is the latest installment in the series and will deliver a fresh and exciting gameplay experience to existing fans and newcomers alike.
