The perennially misunderstood Armored Core series is about to receive another Western localised iteration in the form of Armored Core Last Raven. This is an exceptionally good game however and for the few out there that already attained 136% completion on the original Japanese release (including yours truly), you will most probably find the following rather interesting.

Naochika Morishita is a rather talented illustrator and artist, with a unique washed out aesthetic. He's been pretty prolific too and many may be already familiar with his work on the Bloody Roar series. For Last Raven though he was comissioned to create a rather lovely wallpaper featuring a few ACs from the game. With any luck he'll be doing boxart for the subsequent games (like he did for Gundam Battle Tactics, which is a surprisingly good little action game, especially in multiplayer).

Finally, it also seems that Agetec aren't going to be publishing Armored Core 4 in the West. Apparently, SEGA have picked up the mechanical gauntlet. w00tage indeed.
