The Valkyrie series has bounced around a fair bit over the years, never really settling on a particular platform. The original game, Valkyrie Profile, launched for PlayStation in 1999, while the sequel Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria emerged in 2006 for PlayStation 2. After that, Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume shifted over to the Nintendo DS in 2008, and the series was warmed up for an iOS/Android game in 2016 with Valkyrie Anatomia: The Origin.
Square Enix has continued to pump out JRPG goodness over the past few years, remastering a slew of its more obscure titles. In 2022, it has plenty of games in the pipeline including Live A Live, Harvestella, Star Ocean: The Divine Force, The Diofield Chronicle, and Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis.
