UPDATE: New details have emerged on Sega's all-new Valkyria title, with a report on My Game News Flash being handily translated by Kotaku.
The new game is officially called Valkyria: Azure Revolution, and is considered a different series within the Valkyria universe to the three existing Valkyria Chronicles games.
Valkyria: Azure Revolution will still be an RPG with strategy elements, and it will introduce real-time combat elements as players take on the Valkyria Brynhildr, with the new game's protagonist named as Amleth. Media.Vision, who developed the third title in the Chronicles series, is behind Valkyria: Azure Revolution, which is set for release next autumn in Japan. We still await news whether we'll see it over in the west.

A group of dedicated fans have created an English language patch for the Japan-only PSP tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles 3.
While the game was well-received in its native Japan, series publisher Sega refused to bring it to the west following disappointing sales of Valkyria Chronicles 2 and the general unpopularity of the PSP.
It's worth noting that the fan-made patch only works with the Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition (or VC3:E2 for short) for both the PSP and Vita. If used with the game's original release, the patch will still work somewhat, but there will be errors like voices getting switched around.

Tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles 3 will not see a release in Europe or North America, publisher Sega has confirmed.
The strategic PlayStation Portable role-player will stay in Japan where the PSP is more popular, according to Sega's console sales manager Hiroshi Seno.
Seno also said a lack of Western sales for Valkyria Chronicles 2 meant Sega could not justify VC3 translation costs, Gamespot reports.
