Update: It took a little under 30 minutes for the deal to be pulled, with Valkyria Revolution no longer even searchable on the UK and EU PlayStation Stores at the time of writing. We hope lots of you still managed to grab it while the listing was free!
Original story: Looking for an RPG to pass the time with? You're in luck because the UK and EU PlayStation Stores are currently listing Valkyria Revolution without charge. The action spin-off to the tactical Valkyria Chronicles games was never considered to be very good, but you can't argue with free, right? To claim the game, either boot up the PlayStation App on your phone or head on through here and redeem it on the PS Store.
Better yet, all of Valkyria Revolution's DLC is also listed for free right now. We have to assume all of this is one big pricing error so you need to act fast before the price is knocked back up. In our Valkyria Revolution PS4 review, we concluded: "Where Valkyria Chronicles was a constantly rewarding strategy game, Revolution is an action RPG so utterly devoid of any potential to challenge or delight that the only strategy you'll require is working out the quickest bus route back to the shop to get your refund." That warranted a 3/10 rating, but maybe it's worth checking out when you don't have to hand over any cash whatsoever.

Added it, too, though it's unlikely I'll ever get around playing it.
Hey, thanks for the heads-up. I quite enjoy the VC games so this works out for me, even if it's a worse entry.
For some reason, I can find almost all the free DLC, but the game wants money.
I guess I'm doing something wrong.
Not working for me at the moment.
14 DLC and the game add to the library
Already added to library, hopefully they don't remove it for people that got it
I think I got it right in the nick of time. As soon as I "added it to the Library" I tried to refresh the page for the heck of it and it gave me an error.
Currently downloading, thanks again!
Yeah, I got the DLC but not the game 😕
Yikes, I'll pass. I value time as well as money; just because something is free doesn't mean I will ever get those wasted hours back!
And it looks like the DLC had never cost money?
Lisa: "Eww, Dad, this is blood!"
Homer: "Correction: Free blood!"
Well crap, had I come here a little earlier might have got myself a game I wanted...
The game doesn’t seem to exist on the store any more. Guess they removed it hastily.
It's still too expensive.
I managed to grab it for free will have a look at what it's like as I would never have bought it. Intresting that its gone from the store now. Unfortunately for Sony my refund policy also sucks so it will be in my library for now
Saw this on the Press Start site earlier and managed to grab the game + DLC. Not expecting much, but hey, it's free.
aaand it doesn't exist on the website anymore and you can't buy it directly on the PS Store using PS4
Got everything even all the DLC. 🤪
I'm mad I missed out on this 😡
Ah well, the game is crap anyways
I started out sad I'd missed the article being posted until the update, then ended up not caring by the articles end.
Now I'm off to read that review. I do enjoy a good shoeing every now and then!
Edit: And that was a good one! 😂
Well for a 3/10 game, you can argue with free because time 😆. With billions of games around it's hard to make time for poorly rated games. Some people can't even make time for the fantastic Genshin Impact.
The dlc is still free at least, game doesn't come up tho
Wonder if Sega will be publishing it in UK/EU too?
No ta. This is the blag Valkyria Chronicles. The original turn based strategic games are where it's at.
@TheArt
This.
As an adult, finding time to game is precious. I'm only playing highly rated games
Man, I was just a young whippersnapper when I reviewed this game. Back before I became all jaded and bitter and angry.
@ApostateMage They butchered the PS4 upgraded version though it was my favorite on the PS3.
Devoid of challenge?...
Whoever said that clearly didn't finish the game.
Also, people saying it's crap are also wrong. The game has a pretty good story and characters. The problem was that it wasn't a strategy game like the previous games in the series. This one is an action RPG.
It is hard towards the end though and it may require grinding.
Lol darn. The one day I didn't use the site!
Priced now. Not going to bother getting the free dlc.
Now available again, I don't know the previous price but it's peculiarly 1429 RUB now as opposed to Vita's usual 2800-something (not "affected" by the accidental giveaway but intact all this time on Store app instead - and the DLC was still free on the platform). While you still won't catch me investing in a home version while a portable one is available, the seeming price drop is nice... yet the seeming price glitches during its implementation and the necessity to temporarily delist the entire page during a fix are perplexing.
I lost it!
After grab it
😔
Oh well 🙄
