The full press release of the video game is as follows via Sega:

"In the world of Valkyria Chronicles, the year is 1935 E.C., and the continent of Europa has been plunged into the Second European War between the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance—also known as The Empire—and the Atlantic Federation over the precious resource Ragnite.

"The Empire is sweeping through the continent like an unchecked wildfire and has its eyes set on the rich Ragnite deposits of the Principality of Gallia. Although peaceful Gallia remains neutral in the conflict, its citizens will need to defend home and country against the inevitable invasion. Players follow Lieutenant Welkin Gunther and the vaunted Squad 7 of the Gallian Militia as they take on the seemingly insurmountable forces of the Empire."

In other news, Sega has released multiple teasers to the sequel game "Valkyria: Azure Revolution" in Japan including teaser trailers and extended versions of it as well as information on the game's main theme, reports Techno Buffalo.

It is revealed that the game's main protagonist is named Maxim. The outlet states that Maxim has a similar story with Captain America as they have become super soldiers after being experimented on.

More details on the silver-haired villain below:

"He was born in Empire territory, but was selected as a military officer by Emperor Claudius and became a young soldier. Ragnite was placed inside his body as a human experiment, so he is able to use Magic Arts of overwhelming power and is thus a Magic Arts soldier."
