Arc System Works 25th Anniversary Official Character Collection

With the Arc System Works 25th Anniversary still in full swing, Dengeki Online reported that Arc System Works is set to publish an art book to commemorate the occasion: Arc System Works 25th Anniversary Official Character Collection Art Book. Quite the mouthful, it will feature character illustrations spanning the Guilty Gear franchise, BlazBlue franchise, and more — with a good portion of art being done by guest artists. To top it all off, the book will include interviews with some of the key developers, behind-the-scenes looks of the studio itself and a good retrospect of their history of titles.

Dengeki also posted a few preview shots of what’s to come, which you can check out below. The Arc System Works 25th Anniversary Official Character Collection Art Book will be released on October 24, with the price of 3360 yen, or about $34. You can pre-order and import your own copy at Amazon or AmiAmi. We have hope that this will eventually get localized, possibly by UDON. We will have to wait and see.
