14 DAY TRIAL // The developers at Cyanide and publisher Atlus have announced a new pre-order bonus, a complex art book, for those who are willing to pay money early to buy the upcoming Game of Thrones, the role playing game that is based on the A Song of Ice and Fire books from R.R. Martin.
The bonus is available for a limited number of copies of the game and only from selected retailers.
It offers fans of the fantasy universe a chance to look at 64 pages of full color sketches, photos, renders and illustrations that detail how the look of the game evolved and came to represent the world that R.R. Martin initially created via words.
Tim Pivnicny, who is the vice president of sales and marketing at Atlus, stated:
“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.”
He added, “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 launches on May 5 on the PC, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
