Today, publisher Square Enix and developer Soleil (known for Ninjala) have announced the release dates for the upcoming action RPG Valkyrie Elysium. PlayStation 4 and 5 are getting the game soon, on September 29th, as leaked yesterday by the trailer; however, PC gamers will have to wait until November 11th.
We also learned about the pricing, pre-order bonuses, and various editions. The standard edition of Valkyrie Elysium is priced at $59.99 on both PlayStation and PC (Steam), though the pre-order bonuses are different. On PlayStation, players will receive the Valkyrie equipment “Alscir: Sword of the God of Light”, while PC gamers are getting some original wallpapers and three days of early access.
There’s also a Digital Deluxe Edition, priced at $74.99 on PlayStation and $64.99 on PC. Both grant access to the Valkyrie equipment “Svartaljr: Sword of the Goddess of the Underworld”, but PlayStation players are also getting ports of the PSP game Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth (which will also be separately available for purchase on the PlayStation Store). Sadly, there is no word on whether Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth will ever be available on PC.
