Valkyrie Elysium

The game follows Maria, a valkyrie and lesser god created by Odin, the "All-Father". She is sent to find and purify souls on Midgard so as to bolster support for Odin, using the Einherjar, resurrected warriors who further Odin's cause. Each Einherjar has their own story of what led to their demise. Maria can also access the memories of deceased humans by interacting with flowers known as Hollow Blossoms. Maria also learns about the Verdan Blossoms, which holds memories she can't decipher.

During one of her missions to purify souls, Maria meets Armand, a human searching for an unknown objective. She also encounters a rogue valkyrie named Hilde. After a brief confrontation, Hilde warns Maria not to trust Odin. Maria later reports the encounter to Odin, who claims that certain forces are attempting to undermine his efforts to save the world. He then instructs her to locate the Four Gifts, stating that they are necessary to achieve this goal.

The game received an aggregate score of 65/100 on Metacritic on PlayStation 5, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Paul Shkreli of RPGamer rated the game's PS5 version 3.5/5 points, noting that its existence felt like a "miracle in itself" due to the series' long dormancy. He opined that while the game's combat system did not line up with what fans expected for a continuation of the series, the gameplay and music were good when judged on their own merits. Shkreli called the character designs and art "gorgeous", and the transition to action combat "gracefully handled", saying that it felt like an "organic and natural" successor. However, he called the world "mostly empty" save for enemies, remarking that it did not feel like a world in need of saving, and noted that the graphical quality varied greatly. He also described the world-building as "paper thin", with a "sparse" story that was "brief and predictable".
