The upcoming artbook from Cook and Becker in partnership with developer Wargaming was set to be released this month, but has now been updated on their website with a new release date, pushing the book back to October.
WORLD OF TANKS. Journey Through Art was given an expected shipping date of September 15th and would allow players to dive into the concept art of the game to celebrate its 15th anniversary. However, it has now been delayed, but only after this date had come and gone. After posting about its imminent release on social media on the 15th—even getting an interaction from the publisher themselves—the book was then showing as expected to ship as October 31st on their website within just a few days.
No reason has been given for the delay, nor a notification for those that have pre-ordered the book. This is typical of artbook delays, as although frequent across all publishers, they usually go quietly under the radar. In the past though, Cook and Becker have emailed customers with an update, but that wasn't the case this time, leaving it up for speculation as to why it happened.
The book is still available for pre-order now though as a standard edition or in a bundle with the The Art of World of Tanks, which was released for the 10th anniversary. The Deluxe and Collector's editions have sold out and are now unavailable.
WORLD OF TANKS. Journey Through Art will showcase the concepts and designs for the free-to-play multiplayer game, covering its history that includes the war-torn maps, keyframes, and as expected, the tanks the player can use too. It comes as a wide-format hardcover and previews be seen below.
World of Tanks was launched in 2010 and has since been released on multiple platforms, including PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and mobile. It boasts over 800 armoured vehicles from countries around the world, from those used in battles, to some that have only prototypes and blueprints. The game has players control one of these units on a map with others online, engaging in tactical 15 vs 15 tank battles.
Cook and Becker are also no strangers to artbooks, having published The Art of World of Tanks as previously mentioned, but also the fantastic Killzone Visual Design and the recently released book, The Art of Still Wakes The Deep.
Be sure to check out their page and place an order for the book if interested ahead of its new October release date.
