NIS America will be offering an exclusive Dragon’s Crown art book to those who preorder the game at select European retailers.

Developed by Vanillaware and directed by George Kamitani, Dragon’s Crown is a 2D multiplayer action beat ‘em up from the developers of Odin Sphere and GRiMgRiMoiRe. Dragon’s Crown features breathtaking visuals that bring the fantastic characters and monsters to life with fluid artistry. Players can engage in local or online co-op play for dozens of hours of intense dragon-slaying action.
