nova18: Gonna get this game as the price keeps steadily dropping, gonna snatch it up when it hits the £25 mark I think, so DLC makes it more appealing.
Sweet, this is probably one of the games that I least expected to ever have DLC. I should probably start playing it again, I'm stuck on the bigass tank guy.
Jumplion: Sweet, this is probably one of the games that I least expected to ever have DLC. I should probably start playing it again, I'm stuck on the bigass tank guy.
The Anime is going to be awesome, this DLC IS awesome (PLAYABLE SELVARIA!!!) let's hope the Anime DOES promote the game more.

There are allready pictures around, as you may expect Alicia got a huge boost to her... Ahem Assets.
Hope it comes out free. Not cause I have the game but I need more arguments to shove into people that think paying for RE5 multiplayer DLC is okay...Damn Capcom leechers!

-and how could you not see this coming? The DLC has been in Japan for the longest time. It just needed to get to everywhere else later.
Anyway, after playing this twice, and struggling to get A's on the hard modes, I look forward to this, and don't look forward to "Excruciatingly unfair and hard mode".

QFT Getting A's on all the missions took me forever now they are going to add an insane mode. This game I think has to be one of my favorites if not my favorite of this generation between the story and the game play I just couldn't put it down. Definitely buying these expansions. I hope this is a continuing IP of sorts not so much the same story (although a game of the first war would be sweet) but a continuation of the game play and epic story telling.

Yeah, I'm an anime nut too, so I will buy all three DLC packs for this game out of curiosity. Could the game get any harder? Is Hard EX mode where you fight the Imperials with rocks and sticks?

There's already an anime for it. And it's amazing:

Valkyria Chronicles Gets Three DLC Packs
Sega's PS3-only strategy-RPG might never go down as anything more than a cult favorite, but the company's still showing it a bit of love in the form of three new DLC packs coming later this spring.
Valkyria Chronicles has amassed a small but dedicated following even as it has, so far, failed to garner any major success. So you'd think Sony and Sega would be willing to just let the fans keep themselves entertained with their obscure little SRPG, but they're being a little nicer than that by bringing the previously Japan-only downloadable content to English-speaking parts of the world sometime this spring in the form of three packs.
The first pack adds an extra challenging Hard EX mode where enemies get more dangerous but your main tank Edelweiss is out of commission, meaning you'll have to rely on your wits a lot more to come out on top on the battlefield.
Then there are two packs both containing extra missions, one called "Enter the Edy Detachment" where you play as Edy and command an undermanned team of six against a big Imperial squadron, and the other is "Behind Her Blue Flame," which puts you in the shoes of one Johann, an engineer in Selvaria's troops, and "see the war play out through the eyes of the enemy."
"Each of the three new packs will supply players with a brand new experience," Sega told CVG.
