The upcoming artbook from DK based on Warhammer video games has had some updates, as spotted on retailer listings. Although there is now a little longer to wait, this hardcover will be perfect for fans wanting a look at the artwork behind multiple titles, including Space Marine 2. Previously under the title of Warhammer Video Game Art, the upcoming artbook is now titled The Art of Warhammer Video Games, as reflected on both the websites of the publisher and retailers, but also temporary the cover art. This is interesting to note because the release is only a few months away, yet the final art is not yet known. You can see below the current cover, which as it stands is already well designed unlike many placeholders, so it may not change much, if at all.
The release date has also changed, moving from November 4th to November 25th. This is a short delay by artbook standards and won't leave players waiting too long to add a copy to their shelf. The timing of the book isn't one of urgency either, as it isn't dedicated to a recent game like most, potentially putting less pressure on DK to publish the book until it is ready. The page count has also increased from 208 to 232, which is never a bad thing.
The Art of Warhammer Video Games was originally unveiled in February on the Warhammer Community website here. Games Workshop is no stranger to merch, collectibles and books for its Warhammer franchise, but an artbook for video games released in this way is new, perhaps something they will continue for future game launches. While there have been artbooks in the past included in collector's editions, this upcoming standalone release will allow more player access Warhammer art and add it to their shelf.
The most recent release confirmed for the book is Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, a follow up to the popular original that will also be included. Dawn of War will also appear, as well as the 'boomer-shooter' Boltgun, along with others featured on the cover. As noted though, the cover is not final, but the games seen are likely confirmations of the content inside. The book will feature more than 30 years of releases from their catalogue, one that covers a range of platforms and genres, from real-time strategy games, to action focused third and first-person titles.
Expect a wealth of concept art, illustrations and developer insights into the games, perfect for both players and Warhammer fans in general. It goes without saying that Warhammer has an incredibly rich universe of history and lore, but one also full of interesting visual design that mixes fantasy and sci-fi in interesting ways. This makes it a very exciting book that will likely be on the wishlist of many.
The site will be adding this to the collection here too, so as well as any future updates, you'll find previews and a review when it arrives on November 25th.
