Valkyria Chronicles 2 Multiplayer

Sega has confirmed that Valkyria Chronicles 2 for PSP will support ad-hoc versus and co-op multiplayer modes.

Both co-op and versus play will be supported, a SEGA representative reported, but left it at that. "We can't really talk too much about it in detail yet."

"When we looked at the BLiTZ battle system specifically - especially in the Japanese market - co-op play and wireless play is becoming more and more popular and we felt that would expand the gameplay for the title in a great way," the rep said. "When we went further in that direction we discovered that the PSP is the perfect platform to take advantage of that."

Multiplayer was not present in the original Valkyria Chronicles and while Valkyria Chronicles 2 will only support local multiplayer with no online, it is still welcomed as multiplayer of any kind is arguably the most wanted feature among fans.
