Marvelous announced its new Valkyrie Drive project, first teased in January, at AnimeJapan at Tokyo Big Sight today.
The project consists of three works, including a TV anime, PS Vita game, and social game. Get details on all three below.
TV Anime
Featuring character designs by Hiraku Kaneko, management by Yosuke Kuroda, and production by ARMS, Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid takes place on Mermaid, one of five artificial islands, where “sexy battles” between beautiful girls unfold.
Revealed characters include:
Maiden Mamori – Mikaki Izawa
Mirei Shikishima – Yuka Iguchi
An air date was not announced.
PS Vita Game
Valkyrie Drive: Bhikkhuni‘s staff includes:
Exploding Breasts Producer – Kenichiro Takaki
Character Design: Warai Manakakko
Publisher: Marvelous
Developer: Meteorise
Revealed characters include:
Ranka Kagurazaka – Kanae Ito
Rinka Kagurazaka – Aya Suzaki
A release date was not announced.
Update: While Dengeki Online‘s initial report listed the game for PS Vita, it’s since been changed to simply a “consumer game.” That said, it was likely posted earlier than it should have been.
Social Game
Set on the artificial island of “Siren,” Valkyrie Drive: Siren begins a fight that puts the lives of its young maidens at stake. It will be free-to-play with micro-transactions, and ties into the stories of the TV anime and PS Vita game.
Revealed characters include:
Setsuke Kisaragi – Ayaka Ohashi
Urara Sashou – Azusa Tadokoro
A release date was not announced.
