Artbook delays are common, you only have to check out the news page on this website to see that, but it's not often a book gets to its release date and isn't available. This is the case with The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, as the book was due on June 24th, but the book isn't available through retailers.
This book is the English edition, published by Udon Entertainment, who are often responsible for releasing the books in the West after they have hit shelves in Japan. The Japanese version was released in July of 2023 by Kadokawa, 4 months after the game's launch. The book is long over due for audiences elsewhere then, but unfortunately it seems the wait will continue for those wanting to jump in to the RPG's art.
A copy was on order for the collection here, but was out of stock on release. This is not unusual and happens at times when stock is still on its way to retailers, but that sadly turned out not to be the case. No retailer in the UK has any stock, even Amazon has a despatch estimate of 3 - 7 months, with no other sellers available. This is also the case for other countries too, so it seems this book has been delayed, but as so many websites still have it scheduled for June 24th, it seems they were not informed of any changes.
The new date for the book is not yet confirmed and search results don't help much either. I visited the Udon Entertainment website and could not find the book via the search option and their feed on X also gives no results for the game.
These signs would usually indicate a cancellation, but two reliable websites have a new date for the book, Amazon US and Barnes and Noble. Both of these now have the release set for November 4th 2025, which is at least a sign it is still coming. The fact the dates match also increases confidence that it has not be quietly cancelled. It does seem odd that the vast majority of retailers, even some of the biggest sellers of books, have not been given this update. If the November release is correct, there may have been a lack of communication somewhere, as more would have updated their listings.
I have reached out to a couple of retailers to see if they can get an update on when the artbook is expected to arrive and will update the story if I get any form of confirmation. If the release date is moved on more retailer websites to November 4th, I would also take this as confirmation of the the new date.
The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will feature a look at the concept art for the dark fantasy RPG, from developer Team NINJA and publisher Koei Tecmo. It will include lore and profiles for the characters, as well as the designs behind the characters, world, enemies, weapons, and more.
Updates for the book will be reported here and when the the book is released it will also be reviewed. Those interested in ordering The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty can do so below;
