SEGA has announced that Valkyria Chronicles II, the second installment in its anime-styled RPG franchise will hit the PSP next summer in North America and Europe. Slated to hit Japan later this winter, the title is a direct sequel to the PS3 original.

Set in the year 1937 EC, it takes place amidst a civil war torn between the Gallia empire and a group of nefarious revolutionists seeking to rebel in a coup to overtake the standing government body. Players are tasked with restoring peace and order to this war ravaged land.

Will be interesting to see how this one transitions to a portable format. In lieu of the announcement, SEGA released a brief teaser trailer, which can be viewed above. No gameplay footage yet unfortunately, but it should do well to tide you over until then.
