The game is currently released for the Taito Type X2 arcade system board, with a 16:9 ratio and 768p resolution. It was released on November 19, 2008 in Japan and November 20, 2008 in the United States.

Features
  • Many gameplay concepts in Valkyria Chronicles 2 are carried over from the original.

  • When the player has exhausted their available Command Points, or volunteers to pass control without using all of them, the Player Phase ends and the Enemy Phase begins. This progresses back and forth until the battle's victory conditions are achieved or the player is defeated.
  • Valkyria Chronicles 2 uses a system of multiple area maps connected by enemy encampments.
  • When an enemy camp is captured by the player's forces, subsequent areas are made available, using the camp as a way-point to call in reinforcements and proceed.

He lives a normal life as a gamer until a mysterious girl named Saika Amagi transfers to his school. She takes Tokio to the school rooftop one day and sends his consciousness and real body into The World R:X. Where Tokio begins to discover that time for some characters, and even the history of The World itself, is going haywire. Such as Tsukasa turning back into his previous cold mannerisms, and Haseo being cold-hearted and obsessive about finding and killing Tri-Edge.
