Valkyria Chronicles Gets Ultimate Art Book


Valkyria Chronicles is a PlayStation 3 game that is probably very underappreciated. Anything that comes out and draws attention to the work is obviously welcome, which means the new titles from UDON Entertainment are a boon for the property's popularity.

Valkyria Chronicles: Design Archive takes readers behind the scenes and showcases artwork from the game. It features a hefty 400 pages of character designs, vehicle and weapon designs, maps, sketches, promotional art and more. All this is accompanied by detailed background information about the world and its characters, plus creator commentary and interviews.

Valkyria Chronicles: Design Archive will be joined in stores this December by Valkyria Chronicles 2: World Artworks

Full press release and interiors after the jump.
