Apparently Sega's got something they want to tell us about PS3 RPG Valkyria Chronicles or upcoming PSP game Valkyria Chronicles 2. Instead of just sending out some press release though, they're making a game of it.
It seems like forever since we ran a 'gratuitous boobs' story on the Play blog (although we know for a fact that it hasn't really been that long at all) so here's one featuring the PS3's favourite women in uniform out of uniform. Yes, as is to be revealed in a special feature on the Valkyria anime DVD (Japan only at the moment, sorry) when they're not defending Gallia from imperial invasion, the ladies of Squad 7 like nothing better than to unwind at the beach in swimwear that wouldn't have been considered fashionable, much less decent, in 1935 in this version of reality.
From Siliconera: Edie's Squad Challenge comes with six challenges to complete. Each mission plays like a mini Valkyria Chronicles test.

Valkyria Chronicles, Sega's PS3 exclusive SRPG, earned heaps of critical praise, but never garnered sales worthy of its caliber.
