posted on by Kyle Hallmark
The official website for game developer Compile Heart announced on Monday that it is delaying the release of its Black Rose Valkyrie (Kuro Bara Valkyrie) PlayStation 4 game.
The game was supposed to ship in Japan on June 30, but Compile Heart is delaying the release to July 21 in order to improve the quality of the game. Compile Heart apologized to its fans and partner companies for the inconvenience.
The regular version of the game will ship in Japan for 7,776 yen (about US$73), and the downloadable version will cost 6,912 yen (about US$65). A limited edition will cost 9,936 yen (about US$93) and include a production document collection, soundtrack CD, and drama CD. People who preorder the game will receive a character illustration book.
Compile Heart streamed the game's second promotional video in April.
The game takes place in a world where a "chimera virus" threatens humanity. The protagonist Asahi Shiramine (Daisuke Namikawa) leads Valkyrie, a special unit dedicated to taking down chimeras.
The project is reuniting Tales role-playing game series veterans Kousuke Fujishima (Ah! My Goddess, Sakura Wars) and Takumi Miyajima (Fate/Zero). Fujishima is designing the game's characters, while Miyajima is writing the game's scenario.
