As every thursday, Sega treated us to some Valkyria Chronicles 2 news and media.

First of all, something really surprising, Selvaria Bles, the imperial general that was a personal favourite of many during the first Valkyria game will be back in the sequel as a guest character allied with the Gallian forces. But there's a catch. The code to unlock her will be given only to the ones that preorder. Given the way she left the scene in the first game, I'm curious to see how she will be introduced and if she'll play any part in the story (doubtful). In any case, I'm quite happy to see her back, and I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one.
You can see some art and a gameplay screenshot with her below.

Also, the box art of the game has finally been revealed. You can see it above.

Two videos featuring Baldren Gassenarl and Odrei Gassenarl have been added to the character section, featuring the moment in which they first learn about the main characters and the Lanseal unit. and a whole new fansite kit has been released in the download section, delivering a whole slew of new screenshots that you can enjoy in this flickr gallery. Some of the screenshots also hint to the possibility of having to fight against class A in what seem some kind of training battle.
