Sega shared an initial download mission schedule for Valkyria Chronicles 2 today. There are a couple of surprises in the schedule.

The PSP Valkyria Chronicles sequel will see three download missions on launch day, January 21. This will be followed by five more missions in February.

Surprise number one is that the download missions include tie-ins with other games. Two launch day missions require that you have Phantasy Star Portable 2 save data.

Surprise number two is that some of the missions cost money. The three launch day missions are free, but all the February missions are ¥100 each.
