Square Enix released brand-new artwork for Bravely Second: End Layer to celebrate the game’s 8th anniversary since launch. Bravely Second: End Layer is the direct sequel to the original Bravely Default with returning characters.

Bravely Second: End Layer first released on April 23, 2015 for Nintendo 3DS in Japan as the direct sequel to Bravely Default. The game would feature several returning characters in a story that wraps up the original Bravely Default saga in a duology. At the time, the sequel received mixed reception and a lower overall review aggregate score when compared to its predecessor. However, the game would ultimately lead the way to Bravely Default II, the latest game in the long-running RPG series.

To commemorate the 8th anniversary of Bravely Second: End Layer, Square Enix released new artwork by illustrator Naoki Ikushima. Fans may be familiar with Ikushima’s artwork in the Bravely Default series, Octopath Traveler series, LIVE A LIVE, and Triangle Strategy. Additionally, fans may look forward to the upcoming release of LIVE A LIVE for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
