The new Valkyria game focuses on Gallia's Squad 422, aka "The Nameless", the worst vindicatory squad made up of those with a dark background, such as culprits, deserters, war junkies, etc. The new story takes place in the fictional Europe in 1935, the same as the very first game of the franchise. The background is the same, but this time the story unfolds from a different stand point.
