Yakuza and Valkyria Chronicles are coming to PC

Two of Sega's most popular Japanese game franchises are making the way to PC.

Announced yesterday at the PC Gaming Show, Yakuza and Valkyria Chronicles are set for the platform. Prequel Yakuza 0 is set for an August 1st release, with Yakuza Kiwami - a remake of the original game - will following.

RPG Valkyria Chronicles 4 is also on the way.

This follows Sega bringing titles such as Vanquish and Bayonetta to PC after strong demands from fans. Both Shenmue 1 and 2 are launching on PC, also, as is Shining Resonance Refrain. 

Out of all of the big triple-A publishers, Sega is the one that has embraced the PC games market. Certainly in Europe, the company's pillar franchises are all PC-centric - Football Manager, Dawn of War, Company of Heroes and Total War.
