confirmed by Siliconera and PS3fanboy Senjou no Valkyria [Vallyrie of the Battlefield] April 2008 Japan and Summer 2008 internationally . Unfortunately I will only get a chance to play this game in June as I do not have my PS3 with me right now. Stuck overseas at school doing my final semester this year. I really love the CANVAS style cell shading and characters check out the offcial site Valkyria for the latest game videos and trailers.

Also if you need to know Maria Inoue will be voicing Alicia the main female character lead in the game. I hope the ASIA release will have English subs.
