Last month we learned Valkyria Chronicles 4 was gearing up to bring the fight back to Nintendo with a much-anticipated Switch port, and now Sega has unveiled a brand new special edition that's bound to get fans of the franchise clearing space on their figurine shelves.
The fully stocked Memoirs from Battle Premium Edition comes with a boxed copy of the game, a 100-page artbook modelled after Squad E Commander Claude Wallace's in-game journal and two add-on side missions (featuring Squad 7 from the very first Valkyria Chronicles). Oh, and did we mention the vinyl Hafen tank that comes with it. Just look at it! Oh, and there's a new squad trailer, too.
It'll retail for $99.99 (£75) when it arrives, along with the standard edition, this autumn. What do you make of this fancy Valkyria Chronicles 4 premium edition? Worth the money or not? Share your thoughts below...

Hmm, nothing like model tanks. But after bouncing from the first one, no thanks.
I still need to get that "Metal Bug" from AlliExpress one day.
This special edition looks pretty good, but I'm new to the series. Really hope we get 2 and 3 on Switch eventually.
Never played these games, but if the model was metal not vinyl I might of been tempted.
Just the standard Switch edition for me, but that trailer looks awesome. Very looking forward to this one - could actually be my first Switch purchase of the year.
Edit: actually it won't be the first, Mario Tennis will be since DS remastered was delayed. But all my Switch interests are in the second half of year, which will be tough on the purse strings.
I generally don’t do Collector’s Editions so standard VC4 it is for me. It looks cool though.
@QwertyQwerty What's hard to understand? You really like something, so you put it on display both to enjoy yourself and show your friends.
I like this series, but not enough for the special edition. Who knows though, I might end up regretting not buying it if I end up madly in love with this entry.
"Give tanks for..."
That is just awful!!! 😆
@QwertyQwerty It's partially showing off something you like and partially boasting your wealth.
One of my all time favorite franchises gets a special edition? Count me in.
So will the extra missions be available as DLC? That's all I care about.
@SmaggTheSmug Missed a golden opportunity bro. Don't worry, I'll fix it for you.
"Hmm, nothing like model tanks. But after bouncing from the first one, no TANKS."
There done.
Looking forward to this one, but I'll opt for the PS4 version. The Switch version will likely end up as another Sonic Forces style crippled port with a hopeless frame rate.
Any word if we are getting the first entry ported to Switch in the west?
Something about the phrase "vinyl statue" somehow doesn't get me excited....
@QwertyQwerty No one needs you to understand. You just dropped in to be a judgey troll. I don't buy collector's editions very often, but I'm probably going to get this one because I like the design of the tank. Football fans, baseball fans, art collectors... pretty much any collector does it because it makes them happy. Or they may have other reasons... like nostalgia, a reward for busting their @sses at work, etc.
We are hunter/gathers after all, if you want to get deep. But seriously.
You don't understand the 'mentality'? I don't understand the mentality of anyone who has nothing better to do with their time than drop in to troll and throw shade on someone's hobby.
Just sayin'.
Was on the fence on PS4 or Switch. But think going Switch - and LE looks tempting. Wish it had no snow base.
The first one ran fine on PS3. If it hits that level on the Switch it be great (I still think it looks great today).
I think after I picked Valkyria Revolution on VITA over the PS4 and also played Valkyria chronicles 2 on VITA. I see them as handheld games now.
@QwertyQwerty well, sometimes is just something to have on your desk. Also, When the little ones come and visit they reach over and play with them. 😁
I rather see a toy tank on display than heads of dead animals on the wall.
I wonder if this will release in Canada. If it does, sign me up for a pre-order.
*EDIT: So it's up on Amazon Canada right now for pre-order. Sadly it's $129.99 plus tax but luckily I have a few months to switch to the standard edition if I so choose. Can't wait for this game!
This should tide me over nicely until Fire Emblem!! Hopefully it's not too far from release now 😊

ON it.
DAY 1 FOR ME !!!
Was going to get this on ps4 for like 10 bucks lol but because I dont want to be tied down to my couch the switch is the way to go. Who cares about the extra power and graphic ability of the ps4 I'll be able to play this AAA on the go.. cant do that on cellphone or ps4 or xbox closest thing to a switch is ps vita then 3ds
@moroboshi Well you never know, it could actually play very well on the Switch. So I would say wait and look at videos of gameplay on the switch for the game. And see if it is bad with frame rates.
I am waiting for vc4 to be release on the switch. Perfect handheld game.
I loved vc1 on the ps3. And vc2 on the ps vita.
Pity vc3 never got a western release. Maybe in time.
When is this coming out again?
