Persona 5 Is Finally Getting An Official Design Works Book, And It’s Massive
If there’s one thing that the Persona games excel at, it’s style. Developed by Atlus, these flashy JRPGs have some of the best-looking art direction and graphic design, and if you’re looking for a book celebrating that novel brand of coolness, Persona 5 + Persona 5 Royal: Official Design Works is now available to preorder at Amazon ahead of its November 26 release.
Persona 5 + Persona 5 Royal: Official Design Works
$73.40
This is technically a two-in-one art book, as you’re getting a look at both Persona 5 and its enhanced and expanded edition, Persona 5 Royal. It’s a hefty 544-page hardcover tome of character illustrations, promotional art, rough concepts, detailed creator commentary, and an interview with series artist Shigenori Soejima, this will be an essential purchase for Persona fans.
Art books and collectibles based on Atlus games tend to be very popular, and since Persona 5 is the studio’s most popular RPG, we’d expect this book to be uniquely popular in comparison to previous Atlus art books and encyclopedias. The Design Works books for each Persona game typically have limited print runs as well, so once they’re gone, you’ll have to deal with the reseller market in case you don’t reserve an order.
Priced at $73.40 currently, this price will almost certainly change prior to launch; as a reminder, Amazon will only charge you when the book ships out from its warehouse. You’ll also be billed the lowest price at that time, so you won’t have to worry about losing out on any potential discounts by preordering now.
