The DLC promised last November for the PS3’s Valkyria Chronicles has finally been confirmed by Sega for sometime this spring. It will comes in three packs: Hard EX Mode, which allows for a tougher playthrough of the game; “Enter the Edy Detachment,” a new mission where players help Edy defend a village from imperial forces; and “Behind Her Blue Flame,” a mission from the point of view of an imperial soldier under Selvaria’s command.

Over in Japan, the latest issue of Famitsu has seen Sega announcing Phantasy Star Zero Mini for DSiWare, a game in which players will take on a creature named Raven. Like Phantasy Star Zero for the DS, Mini will allow for four player wireless play and a drawing-based chat. It will be downloadable for 200 DSi Points.
