Square Enix and Dark Horse are working together to translate the official Bravely Default II art book into English. “The Art of Bravely Default II: 201X-2021” is a hardcover book with concept art and behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the role-playing game directly from the developers. The book will be released on April 22, 2025 for $50 and can be pre-ordered now.

The Art of Bravely Default II: 201X–2021 contains about 300 pages of concept art, marketing illustrations, and other artwork from Bravely Default II. In addition to the artwork, the book also includes commentary from members of the Bravely Default development team, translated into English for the first time. Dark Horse’s first two Bravely Default art books were great, so fans should keep the upcoming book on their radar.
Pre-orders for Art of Bravely Default II: 201X–2021 are available for $50 from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
While the April 22, 2025 release date of The Art of Bravely Default II: 201X–2021 is still a long way off, in the meantime, fans can pick up and peruse the above art books for other Bravely Default games.
