I seriously do not understand this mash-up between Wargaming and Sega. The two companies announced they will collaborate on a mash-up of Wargaming’s World of Tanks Blitz and Sega’s Valkyria Chronicles.

It sure seems like apples and oranges to me, as Wargaming’s title focuses on World War II tank combat, rooted in history, while Valkyria Chronicles is a military-themed game set in a fantasy universe. I’m a big fan of history games, but I don’t think they mix well with fantasy. Then again, I’m probably not the target market. Clearly the video below is aimed at a Japanese audience. To each his own, I guess. At least both games share tanks in common.

More information is coming at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. Wargaming released World of Tanks Blitz on iOS and Android in 2014. Sega released Valkyria Chronicles Remastered for the PlayStation 4 earlier this year.
