Loaded with concept art and developer notes, “Game of Thrones: Visuals from the RPG” is the ultimate complement to the upcoming video game and the perfect bonus for fans of the books and TV series

ATLUS, in collaboration with Cyanide Studios, today unveiled a limited pre-order bonus art book for “Game of Thrones,” the upcoming RPG based on the internationally bestselling book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and the critically acclaimed HBO television series, Game of Thrones.

Only available from select retailers while limited supplies last, the “Game of Thrones: Visuals from the RPG” art book stands as one of ATLUS’ finest bonuses to date, offering sixty-four full color pages of sketches, renders, photos, and screenshots from the game accompanied by compelling text and commentary from the game’s developers.  The book will also include rare behind the scenes materials, like a portrait of the development team signed with a special message from author George R. R. Martin himself.  The art book-measuring 8.5″ wide and 11″ tall-is hardbound, meticulously composed, and printed on premium stock, a true labor of love worthy of the series and its fans.

“‘Game of Thrones: Visuals from the RPG’ represents one of the most elaborate, expensive bonuses we have ever offered,” commented Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ATLUS.  “Everything about this premium art book is above and beyond the typical pre-order bonus, and all at no additional cost to the customer.  Its larger dimensions, page count, hardcover binding, and exceptional print quality are more in line with what fans would expect from a Deluxe Edition extra or a separate purchase, which is why it will only be available at select retailers and quantities will be extremely limited.  The A Song of Ice and Fire series of books and the Game of Thrones TV series are as special to us as they are to the millions of fans around the world; we are thrilled we can offer this unique bonus to complement the first major video game release based on the franchise.”

“Game of Thrones” is currently scheduled to release on May 15 for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and PC.

Activision has spun out a June 26 release date for The Amazing Spider-Man.

The Tuesday US launch date arrives via Game Informer, so we can probably expect it to hit the UK three days later.

Announced in December and developed by Edge of Time and Shattered Dimensions developer Beenox, the game will serve as an epilogue story occurring after the events of the upcoming Spider-Man movie, which releases in July. The game’s set to launch on  Xbox 360.
