June 12th 2026 This week on The Artbook Collector YouTube channel is a look at the short return of a classic video game series with The Art of Deus Ex Universe! The book was published by Titan Books in partnership with the games developer Eidos Montréal and features 208 pages of art for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. It was published in 2016 on the same day that Mankind Divided was released. You can check out the preview below. Inside is a look at the concept art and designs of the characters, body modifications, weapons, enemies, locations, and technology of the two games. Typically artbooks that cover more than one game will cover each separately, but here they are combined together, highlighting the consistent art direction of the two titles. There is also commentary from the developers, giving players a further peak behind the curtain of how the designs came together. Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided are cyberpunk RPGs from Eidos Montréal that follow the story of Adam Jensen, an augmented security specialist. The games serve as a prequel to the original Deus Ex and explore stories of corruption, politics, and human enhancements. Human Revolution was released in August 2011, and was followed by Mankind Divided that was launched in August 2016. Together they went on to sell over 12 million copies, making the commercial successes for the studio. No more games in the series have been released, with a title in development being sadly cancelled in early 2024 by the new studio owners, Embracer Group. If you enjoyed the preview and would like to add a copy of The Art of Deus Ex Universe to your own collection, then the good news is that the book is still available; Buy Here / Buy Here UK Tags; #TitanBooks #DeusEx #EidosMontreal

June 10th 2025 After a week of big video game news and announcements, artbook fans have another future release to look forward to, with The Coalition confirming that a volume of artwork is on the way for Gears of War: E-Day. The confirmation of the book comes by way of IGN's interview with Coalition creative director Matt Searcy, art director Aryan Hanbeck, and brand director Nicole Fawcette, with AI being brought up in the article right at the start. All three confirmed to IGN that no generative AI was used game's development, with Matt Searcy adding the following, "We have a kickass concept art team, and our art book is going to rock,". Artbooks typically aren't confirmed until there is at least a cover, a release date, and title, but there has been a lot of online talk about the use of generative AI in upcoming games, so this may have been a wise move. The topic is dividing players about its use for artwork, with some stating they will not play games that use it. Searcy not only put minds of players at ease, but also artbook collectors too, giving them something to look forward to after the game launches on October 6th. For those not aware, there has been a number of games from the showcases over the last week that have confirmed using generative AI, or have been exposed for it, during production or marketing. This includes Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, The Kingdom Hearts Collection [I~III], Crazy Taxi, and Amsterdam 1666. This could be problematic if you enjoy concept art, but do not want to see images created by AI printed in an artbook. I wrote an article about this just last week due to the upcoming Tomb Raider game having an artbook included in the Collector's Edition, which you can read here. A Gears of War artbook is always welcome and being AI free is even better, but hardly a surprise, because there have been multiple books in the past with incredible human made artwork. The Art of Gears of War 3 from Ballistic Publishing, The Art of Gears of War 4 and The Art of Gears 5 from Dark Horse Books, and Gears Tactics - The Art of the Game from Titan Books, all gave fans a peak at previous concept art with creative commentary. Searcy may have been more comfortable speaking on an artbook this early due to how fans were probably (and excitedly) expecting it anyway. Until there is an official reveal, nothing is known about the Gears of War: E-Day artbook, but it would be safe to assume we will see concepts for the characters, enemies, weapons, and locations of the upcoming release, giving a behind the scenes peak at how a younger Marcus and Dom came to fruition. The early days of the Locust Horde pouring out of the ground will certianly make for an interesting game, but also stunning artwork too. Any future updates about the book will be reported as they happen, and you can check out a list of other potential artbooks shown at the XBOX Games Showcase, which included E-Day, here. #GearsOfWar #Xbox #TheCoalition #XboxGameStudios

June 9th 2025 The Blood of Dawnwalker from developer Rebel Wolves arrives this September, inviting players into the world of vampires in an exciting new role-playing game. A debut release from former developers that worked on The Witcher already has players eagerly anticipating the game, but now fans have more to look forward to, with the reveal of a new artbook, The Blood of Dawnwalker: The Art of the Game. The 192-page hardcover book comes by way of Titan Books and was first revealed by Game Informer. It has since be spotted on the publisher's website as a new listing and arrives on November 24th 2026, less than a few months after the game's launch in early September. Some listings have begun appearing ahead of pre-orders going live, including Amazon US, with the book expected to be sold at major retailers like previous artbooks from the publisher. As expected, the book will highlight the artwork behind the upcoming release, sharing a look at early concepts through to final designs. This is all alongside written insights from author Matthew Pellett and interviews conducted with the creative minds behind the story of Coen and the setting of 14th-century Europe. Part of the official description is as follows; "Go behind the scenes of Coen’s journey in this book, featuring exclusive interviews and artwork exploring the creation of this intricate and dark world of monsters, characters and scenery. Packed with hundreds of illustrations from concept art to final designs, this book is essential for anyone interested in video-game art, especially medieval, fantasy, and supernatural settings." Most recently, The Blood of Dawnwalker was shown at Summer Game Fest on June 5th and was featured on my list of games likely to get an artbook from that showcase (found here). While this is the first title from the developer, this book isn't a huge surprise given the world they have created and the impressive visuals of the game. Historical settings and fantasy will keep artists busy, so there is no doubt a wealth of material that can be shown in The Blood of Dawnwalker: The Art of the Game when it arrives in November. The Blood of Dawnwalker is an action RPG set in 14th-century Europe, a time of death a disease, but also in the case of this version, vampires too. Players step into the role of Coen, a newly turned vampire that can walk in both day and night, presenting different ways to approach completing quests. The game gives you 30 days to complete the story, with quests advancing the time, so exploration of the open world is still possible as well. It launces on September 3rd for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X, with Bandai Namco publishing the game. The early commitment from Rebel Wolves to release an artbook is a fantastic sign that they are confident in their new game and have some interesting artwork to share from their team. As already noted in the official description of the book, this could appeal to not just those that play the game, but also the many people that enjoy vampires, historical art, and concept art in general. If The Blood of Dawnwalker: The Art of the Game interests you, you can wishlist the book below, and those outside the US can expect listings to begin appearing elsewhere. A copy of the book will be joining the collection here later in the year, so be sure to come back if you want to know more when it arrives on November 24th.

June 8th 2026 The biggest week of the year for video game announcements already had gamer's wishlists growing before XBOX got their time in the spotlight, but they came out swinging to increase them even more. With that in mind, I have gone over the games shown to highlight more artbooks that could be revealed in the future. From a small chance to very likely, including some already on the market, there are 17 games to take note of! Check out the list below and find my other predictions lists from the week's showcases for more; PlayStation State of Play June 2026 Summer Game Fest 2026 Gears of War: E-Day Gears of War: E-Day is a big talking point at the moment because it will be a console exclusive, but it came up strong on my radar for a potential artbook based on the series' past. The first standalone artbook, The Art of Gears of War 3, was released by the now closed Ballistic Publishing as a more limited release. However, since then, three more artbooks have been released on a larger scale. The Art of Gears of War 4 and The Art of Gears 5 were released by Dark Horse Books, and Gears Tactics - The Art of the Game came by way of Titan Books. The Coalition and Xbox are no strangers to releasing artbooks for the games from larger publishers, so this one is a safer bet to get a peak at the concept art. Fable - This is the return of the beloved RPG series, this time being developed by Playground Games. The team worked on Forza Horizon 5 and 6 and have no prior history with artbooks, though this game would be suited for one. The only prior standalone book for Fable was The Art of Fable Legends, which shows the art of the cancelled game and makes it very unique, as you can read about in my article on the book here. 'The Art of Fable' is not a safe bet, but I wouldn't be surprised at a reveal either. Halo: Campaign Evolved One of the most obvious choices on the list for an artbook is Halo: Campaign Evolved, a series that is also no stranger to sharing volumes of artwork. Halo Studios have released them for their last few releases, including Awakening: The Art of Halo 4 that you can see in the video preview below. The only thing worth noting is that this is a remake, so that can reduce the chance of an artbook. However, there is a digital artbook coming as part of the Collector's Edition and I wouldn't be convinced that they stop there. Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy - This more action driven return to the series has a reasonable chance at getting a book given that the last two games got one with The Heart of a Plague Tale: A Visual Making Of from Third Editions. This was a hybrid development history and art book, so Asobo Studio are open to sharing their team's work. If a sequel is planned though, it may arrive later to cover all releases. Persona 4 Revival - No new artbook for this one, but the original release got the artbook treatment with Persona 4: Official Design Works in 2012 from Udon Entertainment, though it has since sold out. Sea of Thieves - There are two artbooks for the popular online pirate adventure. The Art of Sea of Thieves is now a rare gem for collectors and was released by Dark Horse. The follow up was released last year and made by Titan Books, highlighting added content for the game. You can read my review of that book here - Book Review: Sea of Thieves: The Art of Piracy. Metro 2039 - No artbook has ever been released for a Metro game, which is surprising as it would be well suited for one. A look at the concept art for the creatures and derelict locations would be interesting to see. It's not one I'm expecting, but this is one that would make sense, so not outside the realm of possibility Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember The follow up to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from Team NINJA was featured at the showcase, inviting players back to their dark fantasy world. I've been reasonably (but I think fairly) harsh on the artbook for the first game, as the English release of The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from Udon Entertainment has been delayed multiple times, now arriving on June 23rd 2026. This is a year later than its first scheduled release date, but almost 3 years after the Japanese original from Kadokawa. An artbook is on the table then, but don't expect it in the West anytime soon if the last book is anything to go by. However, those that are able to read Japanese will likely get a release to dive into just months after the game's 2027 release. Senua - The third game featuring Senua from Ninja Theory wasn't expected as Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is only a couple of years old, but it was a welcome reveal for fans. I think an artbook or 'Making of' hybrid book would be great for the games, but none have been released so far. As a game with incredible visuals, it's not unreasonable to think that could change, but it's not a safe bet by any means. DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations More opportunities to rip and tear are coming for DOOM fans with a story expansion in July to DOOM: The Dark Ages from id Software. The good news is, an artbook is already available and it's fantastic. The Art of DOOM: The Dark Ages seen in the preview below has some incredible artwork from the team and is well worth picking up. The sad news is, I'm not expecting another for Revelations, but books based on DLC are not common in the artbook world outside of online based games. At least those returning to DOOM for the new content will have a book to pick up from Dark Horse that wasn't available at launch. Age of Empires IV: Raiders of the North - The strategy game is getting new content and makes this list because a look at the games artwork is already available. Age of Empires IV: A Future Press Companion Book is a hybrid strategy guide book and artbook. It's still in stock at Future Press, but fans should act quickly as the publisher doesn't do the largest print runs. Magicians: The Devil's Deal - This upcoming game looks like a fantastic blend of magic and BioShock, standing out as a candidate to get the artbook treatment. Uppercut Games haven't released one before, but if they were to do one, this would be the game to start with. This is a predication based on the visuals, but if the game does well, then the lower chance of it happening will greatly increase. The Elder Scrolls Online - The game did get an artbook, but only in the Imperial Edition sadly, with The Improved Emperor's Guide to Tamriel coming as a 224-page hardcover, a good size for a book included in an edition like this. Persona 6 - As mentioned earlier, Persona 4 received an artbook, which was also followed by Persona 5 + Persona 5 Royal: Official Design Works, making this one of the most likely books on the list. Spyro: A Realm Beyond This was an exciting reveal, as Spyro is a video game icon that has multiple generations of fans thanks to the Reignited Trilogy from 2018. A new game from Toys for Bob means that an artbook could also be coming our way, and if you have seen their previous volumes in partnership with Titan Books, then you know something special could be cooking. Both The Art of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and The Art of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy are spectacular, coming packed with charming artwork for the classic mascots, their companions, enemies, and worlds. 'The Art of Spyro: A Realm Beyond' is not only fairly likely, but is a book that fans will find just as exciting to own as the game itself. Clockwork Revolution - inXile Entertainment are delivering another big console exclusive and although they have no prior artbooks, they could have one brewing for this new steampunk RPG. Like Magicians: The Devil's Deal, its visuals lend itself to the artbook treatment, but as an Xbox Games Studio, it's chances improve. If the game sells well, the wonderful visuals could be explored through the early concept art, so let's hope the exclusivity gamble works out and its impressively looking world can be explored further. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 The final game of the Xbox Games Showcase was Modern Warfare 4, sharing a look at the new DMZ extraction mode. Now, this game is not going to be getting an artbook, dedicated standalone artbooks for individual titles simply don't get made. It's not all bad news though, because and artbook from Titan Books is coming on August 11th to share a look at the series' Zombies mode. Call of Duty Zombies: The Art of Treyarch will deliver 256 pages of artwork and insights into Zombies, exploring its growth from being based in a single wooden house, to an experience that includes set pieces and narratives. Why a book hadn't come sooner is unknown, but Call of Duty has enough fans that this should do very well. Pre-order the book here - Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) An that's the list! There was a lot of potential artbooks to consider based on what was shown by XBOX in their showcase. Many of these games are not out for some time, but hopefully we will start to get reveals of these books over the next year or two. Check out the Upcoming page for books that have been announced to stay up to date with what is heading our way soon. Tags; #TitanBooks #DarkHorse #CallOfDuty #Halo #GearsOfWar #Fable

June 6th 2026 It's the biggest month of the year for game reveals, updates, and trailers, with Summer Game Fest taking over as the new big event in the absence of E3. Now that the 2026 presentation is over, I have gone through each of the over 50 games to highlight which are almost certainly getting the artbook treatment, as well as those that have a chance. Check out my picks below and find potential artbooks coming in the future from the games shown at the PlayStation State of Play here. A New Cuphead Game & Mighty Cuphead Adventure The Cuphead series is loved by players for its challenging side-scrolling gameplay and character design, but it's certainly most known for the hand-drawn rubber-hose style visuals. Studio MDHR not only feature the wonderful artwork in the game, but also in artbooks from publisher Dark Horse Books. The announcement of another Cuphead is exciting news, especially if you enjoyed The Art of Cuphead and The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, because they are both superb and so another is very likely. The game is in early development though, so don't expect it for some time. Mighty Cuphead Adventure was revealed as well, celebrating early video games visuals and gameplay as an 8-bit platformer. I wouldn't put it past the developer to make this an artbook as well, given how much they care about the artistry of the people involved in their previous releases. Until then though, the earlier books are still available and you can preview them YouTube channel, as seen for the first book here; Alien Isolation 2 Developer Creative Assembly and SEGA shared a new trailer for the return of the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation 2, the sequel to the survival horror game that had people panicking with sweaty palms in 2014. An artbook for the game is fairly likely, as The Art of Alien: Isolation from Titan Books gave fans a look at the concepts and designs of the first game when it released that same year. genATLUS - There was an exciting new look at Fumito Ueda's next game, delivering a trailer with incredible visuals and a look at the gameplay, focused on climbing and using a giant mech. The director's previous games Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian did get artbooks, but one was a guide combo and The Last Guardian: An Extraordinary Story was very limited. A look at the artwork is not off the table, but it may not be a mass market release. Dead by Daylight - The multiplayer horror game got a trailer for more new content as it continues its impressively long run that sees it turn 10 years old this month. The good news is that an artbook is already on the way! The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight will be available on August 4th 2026. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced A brief trailer was shown at Summer Game Fest for the return of Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, another game that already has an artbook on the way. This is an intriguing book given that one was released in the past for the original version of the game. The Art of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced will share new artwork and a look at the improvements made to the 2014 original, but how it does this remains to be seen, but we will know soon as it arrives on July 14th 2026. A preview of the original book, The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag can be seen below; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin - PlatinumGames return with a game based on the hugely popular 5-issue comic The Last Ronin from IDW Publishing. The dark take on the Ninja Turtles is perfectly suited for an action game, one that could offer up some interesting concept art as well. An artbook is far from guaranteed though, as the developer doesn't have a big catalogue of them. The Bayonetta series saw three releases of The Eyes of Bayonetta, but with SEGA and Nintendo as the publishers. This is the first game from the newly announced Paramount Games Studio though, so perhaps they will give it the artbook treatment. Control Resonant - I've already spoken a couple of times about the high potential of Remedy's game getting an artbook, including this week for my list based on the PlayStation State of Play. The full details can be found there, but in short, other artbooks from the studio have been limited releases from different publishers, so although it is very likely to happen, it's the how and who from that is up for speculation. Star Wars: Galactic Racer The upcoming racing game from Fuse Games is look spectacular, combining Wipeout and Burnout in a galaxy far, far away. Ordinarily, vehicle based games rarely get the artbook treatment, however, Star Wars games have had them in the past, including last year's brilliant book, The Art of Star Wars Outlaws. Between the locations, variety of vehicles, and characters, it wouldn't be a surprise if we saw a future announcement from Dark Horse for 'The Art of Star Wars: Galactic Racer'. 1666 Amsterdam - A first look at the new game from Panache Digital Games has people talking because it comes from Patrice Désilets, creator of Assassin's Creed. There is no history to look back on for artbooks from the team, but this is the type of game that could see one if it does well. In a time where artbooks come out months or years after the game, it opens up the possibility of seeing the art behind witchcraft and possessions. The Blood of Dawnwalker - Like 1666 Amsterdam, there are no previous artbook releases from Rebel Wolves, the vampire RPG is their debut title after all. The historical setting with creatures of the night does lend itself to an artbook though, so this could again be based on the success of its reception and sales. 007 First Light Developer IO Interactive are adding a new mission to their recent hit 007 First Light, sharing a tease at the show. There is currently no news on a potential reveal of 'The Art of 007 First Light', but it is early days and as mentioned before, artbooks now can come long after release. There was always a chance of the game getting one before it launched, but given how well it has landed and now selling over 2.7 million copies in its first week, that window of possibility opens up even more. Monster Hunter Wilds: Acendance Capcom are strangely lacking when it comes to sharing their concept art, despite huge success across many of its series and IP. One series that has been given the artbook treatment more consistently though is Monster Hunter, so the reveal of a new expansion could make another happen. Monster Hunter: World - Official Complete Works from VIZ Media gave fans a look at that previous entry, although Rise did not get the same treatment, so it's not a safe bet. The Monster Hunter series will always be perfectly suited for an art showcase, but it could go either way. Stellar Blade: Blood Rain This is an odd one, because I was always expecting Stellar Blade to get an artbook, however, the recent reveal of Blood Rain may explain why that hasn't happened, and why the new game may also not get one either. It has been noted that generative AI is both present within in the game through signs seen on the walls, and in the key art, so there is no reason to believe it has not been used in the concept art. That is why this somewhat obvious choice to get an artbook, is now much less so. I recently wrote an article on the use of AI in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, in which I spoke on how generative AI is unethical commission work and should not be present in concept art books. As pointed out on social media though, in Korea they are much more accepting of the technology, but more importantly, CEO of Shift Up Hyung-tae Kim has said they need it to compete as a smaller team, as reported on GameMeca. It's not confirmed if the first game used AI, but perhaps a lack of an artbook is due to this. If one is released for Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, it's important to keep this in mind. Final Fantasy VII: Revelation The big reveal at the end of Summer Game Fest was Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the final chapter in three-part remake. The series isn't a stranger to artbooks, however, the books for VII's Remake and Rebirth have come as 'Material Ultimania' releases, combining a look at the artwork with assets, lore, details, and interviews, as opposed to being dedicated 'Art of' books. I would certainly expect Revelation to get this treatment as well, so fans can enjoy some of the concepts and storyboards behind the game. Square Enix does also do traditional artbooks though, going the complete opposite direction and including very little text, as seen with The Art of Final Fantasy XVI and its follow up, The Art of Final Fantasy XVI: Echoes of the Rising Tide. Perhaps they will release a single dedicated artbook for all three parts of VII's story sometime in the future, but at least some published artwork is a safe bet. An that's my list of potential artbooks from the games we saw at Summer Game Fest! There could always be more of course, but these are the entries that stood out when going through what was shown. In combination with the other events for PlayStation, Xbox, and more, there is going to be some exciting new artbooks heading our way.

June 6th 2026 A more obscure book lands on The Artbook Collector YouTube channel this week, sharing a preview of Asura Online and it's eclectic mix of characters in Phenomena: Art of Asura! The 288-page hardcover was published by Basheer Graphic Books in 2016, sharing the concepts and designs for the characters, enemies, and weapons of the MMORPG. The game from Tencent's Quantum Studio is based on Chinese mythology, including Journey to the West, so it is fill with a huge amount of interesting characters we don't often see in the video game space. Check out the preview below. Some may see this and think of the more recent game Black Myth: Wukong, because of both the visual style and what it's based on (especially opening with the Stone Monkey too), and you'd be right to think that, as members of the team that worked on Asura went on to found that game's developer, Game Science. Alongside the artwork are insights and lore as well, making Phenomena: Art of Asura perfect for those that played the game and want to revisit its world, as well as those interested in Chinese mythology and Eastern fantasy designs. It's an interesting book, one released for a game that doesn't have much of an online presence, at least outside of China, which is what makes it a more obscure book in the collection here. Asura Online is an online role-playing game inspired by the classic novel, Journey to the West. It's a story and action driven MMORPG based in mythology, featuring heroes, demons, magical abilities, and epic quests. The open beta launched in 2014, but the game didn't have huge success, with little information to be found without some digging, although the visuals were praised for the game, including for the cinematics that can be found below. Phenomena: Art of Asura is harder to come by now, but some second hand copies can be found in the wild.

June 4th 2025 One of the games shown at the PlayStation State of Play was Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, a modern remake of the original game that has a lot of players excited. However, the game's listing on Steam has raised eyebrows due to an AI disclaimer, leaving some fans disappointed. While many outlets are covering this story, none are considering its impact on the artbook, which could be a big issue. AI being used in the creative fields is a contentious issue, with many not happy that generative AI specifically is built on databases of stolen artwork, essentially being used for unethical commissions. I won't go into the issues of job replacement, environmental damage, and the economy of AI here, I have a lot to say but there are better voices for that. I do say a lot about artbooks though, the reason for this article. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has a Collector's Edition, one that comes with a mini artbook often seen in these editions, which has me concerned about its content. The AI disclaimer on Steam states the following; "AI-assisted tools were used during development to support some early exploration and temporary development content. Any AI-assisted assets were either replaced or refined by humans in order to maintain the creative and artistic vision of the development team." This doesn't clarify if concept art was included, but the response from Crystal Dynamics had me worried. The publisher's response to video game outlet Eurogamer was as follows; "At Crystal Dynamics, we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently, while ensuring that all finished content in the final product is human-crafted. Our goal is to empower the creativity and flexibility of our developers to deliver the highest-quality experiences for players everywhere." The continued lack of specificity about how it was used and what for is a strong indication it may have included concept art and 3D assets. Although these are not the only things it can be used for, they are the most likely to to get a negative reaction from players, which would be the reason not to give more details. Of course, without them saying more, this is speculation, but that is very much needed when you have an artbook coming. This also doesn't include the potential for a standalone artbook either, which each of the last three Tomb Raider games also received. When it comes to the artbook, it's a massive problem, which is why more details are needed. From the perspective of this collector, an artbook that includes anything made with AI, either directly or as a result of using it, is not worth the paper it is printed on. People should not pay hard earned money for a collection of computer made images that a 10 year old can prompt. Artbooks should be a celebration of human made art, used to enjoy the work from of our favourite artists and releases, as well as inspire people to create themselves. Artbooks should never be a physical slideshow of what a computer generated, but with more companies turning to AI, the future of what is published could change immensely. I have long theorised that we may see more artist based books, as opposed those based on media releases, because of both the lack of jobs for these artists, but also the push back AI volumes could receive. At some point I am expecting a book to slip in some generative AI that will certainly be a problem going forward for collectors, but whether Legacy of Atlantis will be the one to do it or not remains to be seen. If AI is used for concept art, then regardless of whether the images were redrawn or refined, they are still not human concepts in the opinion of many, including myself. If at the ideas and concepting stage you have used generative AI, then the foundation of your game is that of AI and it has infected the very DNA of the final release. What you choose to do with that information is a personal choice, some may not want to play the game, others may wait for a deep discount, and some may not care if they just want more Lara Croft, but it is again something that we will be facing more and more. I have reached out to developer Flying Wild Hog and will update the story with any response regarding how AI was used, and if it will be present in the artbook. For the sake of gamers, art fans, and collectors, I hope that AI disclaimers become more clear and that the teams behind the games are more transparent. I'm sure the average person that enjoys a game here and there won't be paying attention to the use of AI in their development, but for those that do, being able to make informed purchasing decisions is important. I, like I'm sure many of you visiting this human-made website, have no intention of having any AI in my artbook collection, so hope this is the best case scenario and that the concepts and ideas are all from the minds of the creatives, especially for a remake of an existing game. To find out more about a potential artbook for Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, as well as other games from the recent Playstation State of Play, you can find a full breakdown of the games shown here - Artbook Predictions: PlayStation State of Play June 2026. #CrystalDynamics #TombRaider #TombRaiderLegacyOfAtlantis #FlyingWildHog

June 2nd 2026 PlayStation had a lot of people excited for the latest State of Play and they hit us with a wave of new announcements and details for some great looking titles. With this in mind, it made sense to create a list of new predictions based on what we saw, to give you an idea of the possible artbooks that can be on your shelf in the future. Check out the list of each game shown below and check out the list for February's State of Play here. Wolverine Wolverine from Insomniac Games was the one game we knew would be at the showcase ahead of time, and it's safe to say we know ahead of time that an artbook is coming. Not only is it a Sony first-party game, which often get them, but the developer has released 3 artbooks for the Spider-Man games. I'd certainly like to see one with so many Marvel characters and, with any luck, a breakdown of the visuals for the incredibly fun gore. The last release, The Art of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, switched publishers and was released by Dark Horse, in keeping with the rest of the PlayStation Studios' books, making them the likely suspect to release one for Logan's new game. 'The Art of Marvel's Wolverine' would be a welcome book in the collection here and if revealed, expect this in 2027, as the look at Peter and Miles' return came 8 months after the game launched. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls - Arc System Works aren't known for their artbooks, but this is a Marvel game, most of which do get a release. This includes big AAA titles to smaller releases, as seen with Marvel Cosmic Invasion: The Art of the Game, so there is a reasonable chance this will have an artbook. Rayman Legends: Retold - The new reimagining of Rayman Legends is unlikely to get an artbook, because remakes often don't get this treatment. The original didn't get one either though, perhaps giving is more reason to give people a look at the artwork and its charming style, but I'd still be (pleasantly) surprised if one was announced. Bancho the Chef - Not the type of game to get an artbook, but artwork could always be shared online. Kemuri: Hunt the Unseen - This third person action game certainly has an interesting visual style filled with colour. This could be the type of release that gets a surprise artbook if it does well, at least in Japan. It's not out until next year though, so it's a long time for any potential announcement. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis I mentioned that remakes don't often get the artbook treatment, but the remake of Tomb Raider from Flying Wild Hog is one that could receive it. Not only is it a huge upgrade to the original, but the last three games got one as well, which also were not the first for the iconic IP. The last release was Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Official Art Book from Titan Books, so Crystal Dynamics is certainly open to making it happen, and I think it is likely. The Lost Wild - An Annapurna game is often worth checking out, with this release from Great Ape Games delivering some very cool dinosaur visuals, but it's not an obvious candidate for an artbook. Phantom Blade Zero - Chinese publisher S-GAME has only one prior release since they began in 2013, and so this is not standing out as a game that will get an artbook. The 'soulslike' genre does have a lot them, but I'd wager we won't see one for this release. Dune Awakening - The game already has an artbook! The Art and Making of Dune Awakening from Insight Editions was released last year, you can read my review here. Dynasty Warriors 3: Complete Edition Remastered - A remaster like this will certainly won't be getting an artbook. It's a fun release to mark the 25th anniversary of the game for fans though. No Rest for the Wicked - The upcoming game from Moon Studios ordinarily wouldn't stand out as a title to get an artbook, but the developer did release The Art of Ori and the Will of the Wisps with Future Press, so I feel like there's a small chance, but I'd bet against it in this instance. Onimusha: Way of the Sword - It will certainly be a popular game, but Capcom are lacking when it comes to artbooks, even stopping them for Resident Evil after 6. Monster Hunter gets them at times, but it doesn't seem to be their focus. If Pragmata receives one though, then I'll be more optimistic. Silent Hill: Townfall - Like Resident Evil, this series is sadly lacking volumes of artwork, and if any entry were to get one, I feel like it would have been another release. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Thieves - Vehicle based games, especially those not deep into the realm of sci-fi, don't get artbooks, and I can't see that changing here. Stuntman: Hollywood - For the same reasons as Ace Combat 8, don't expect an artbook, but this was a nice surprise return for Stuntman! Ill - This game looks wonderfully gruesome and the enemies look horrifically creepy, but if Mundfish didn't release an artbook for Atomic Heart, a game much more creative in its overall world design, then I can't see one happening here either. Control Resonant I've spoken on this game before and I remain optimistic for a future reveal of 'The Art of Control Resonant', but from who remains to be seen. The Art & Making of Control was released by Future Press, but they just had a disaster of a launch for a reprint (I had endless problems ordering the book and it's still not here after weeks of waiting), also only doing very limited runs. Alan Wake: Design Works is coming by way of Lost in Cult, so there is potential there too. Remedy Entertainment also partnered with Limited Run Games to make Alan Wake 2 Artbook, but it was only available on a collectors edition. All of these options are there, but all have very limited copies. I'm certain there will be a book, but buy it up quick if they don't head to a larger publisher. The game's world looks strange in the best way possible, so this could be a fun book of concepts and designs. Marathon - Still no word on an artbook for Bungie's latest game. The studio did have books for both Halo and Destiny, but given the art theft issues, disappointing sales, and financial issues, I'm less convinced than ever that there will be an artbook. PlayStation Plus titles - Runescape: Dragonwilds and the classic games won't be getting a dive into their artwork. God of War: Laufey This is the game I am the most sure get an artbook along with Wolverine. There have been multiple God of War releases with a look at concept art, with the most recent being God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective from Dark Horse covering the previous games, the publisher was also behind The Art of God of War and The Art of God of War Ragnarök, along with many other first part studio artbook. In the 20 minutes of gameplay shown, there was a huge amount of interesting character and creature designs, leaving little doubt as to there being a wealth of concept art to be shown off from the artists and Santa Monica Studio. A 200+ page hardcover book is an easy sell to fans, but without a release date for the game, this will likely be a long way off. On a personal note, God of War is my favourite franchise and the concept art got me into collecting artbooks, so both the game and inevitable 'The Art of God of War: Laufey' will definitely be joining the collection. That's another State of Play over and some more speculation as to what is coming in the future! My wallet continues to get nervous with each passing event, and there are definitely at least a couple more artbooks coming with the line-up. Check out the Upcoming page for books that have been announced to stay up to date with what is heading our way soon. Tags; #TitanBooks #Marvel #DarkHorse #GodOfWar #SpiderMan #Wolvering #Control

Buy Here / Buy Here UK 16th - The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope—The Manga Volume 1 20 years after A New Hope was released, Hisao Tamaki adapted the story into a manga, creating a new way to enjoy the story with fantastic artwork. Now, Dark Horse are bringing the manga back, but as an artbook to give fans the chance to see the original sketches and line art, as well as a translation of the text. The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope—The Manga Volume 1 shares the first half of the story and the original art boards, presented in the original right-to-left format, making this a wonderfully unique addition to the shelf for collectors. The second book, The Art of Star Wars: A New Hope—The Manga Volume 2 arrives on August 18th. Please note that those outside of the US and Canada will have to import the book due to licensing restrictions. Buy Here 16th - The Art & Making of Swapped The latest animation hit on Netflix is getting the artbook treatment from Titan Books and Skydance Animation, exploring how the wonderful creatures and world of Swapped came together. The Art & Making of Swapped will share the early concept art and creator insights, including for the unlikely duo of Pookoo and Javan. The 192-page hardcover should be another spectacular book following the last partnership from the teams on WondLa: The Art & Making of the Limited Series. It's already off to a good start with a wonderful piece for the cover art. Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) 23rd - The Art of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Abrams Books are behind another exploration of a Marvel animated show, this time for the unique take on Peter Parker with The Art of Marvel Animation’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) 23rd - Set Sail: The Art and Making of One Piece Publisher VIZ Media have teamed up with Netflix to take readers behind the scenes of the first two season of One Piece, the live-action adaptation of the popular manga.

Buy Here/ Buy Here (UK) 23rd - The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Back on an upcoming list after yet another delay The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will hopefully finally arrive after a year of setbacks. This time though, the date was posted by Udon Entertainment on social media, the first time they have acknowledged the book since it was listed online over a year ago. This is an English hardcover version of the book that was released in Japan in 2023, so will finally be available to fans that have been patiently waiting. Inside it features artwork and character profiles for the 'soulslike' from Team NINJA. Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) 30th - The Art of Star Wars: Andor A highly anticipated artbook for Star Wars fans ends the month of June, sharing the concept art for both season of the fan favourite show Andor. The Art of Star Wars: Andor from Abrams Books plugs one of the artbook gaps for the live action projects, becoming the second release in 2026 after a long break in the series. Readers can expect a collection of stunning artwork and insights from some of the most talented artists in the industry, covering the characters, props, ships, and locations, as seen in the other entries in the large catalogue of Star Wars artbooks. It covers both seasons of Andor, from its early concepts after the release of Rogue One, through to its finale. The Star Wars artbooks have a insanely high bar of quality, whether it be for the movies and shows, or the animated releases and video games, so it's very unlikely this will disappoint. Earlier in the year Abrams Books released The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, another superb release that should give people high hopes for the quality of this book as well. Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) Updates for these books will be reported as they happen, with more future artbook releases found on the Upcoming page!

May 29th 2025 Fans of the wonderful artwork from Paul Bonner will have to wait a little longer for his next artbook release, as the two-volume book has been hit by a second delay, pushing The Art of Paul Bonner: Down From The Mountains to early November. The release had already suffered an almost year long delay from October 2025 to September 1st 2026, but it is now expected on November 3rd 2026. The new date was spotted again on the website of the publisher Titan Books, but no public acknowledgement has been posted online, though this is normal in the artbook world. The Art of Paul Bonner: Down from the Mountains will come with a huge 704 pages between two hardcover books that are collected in a slipcase as seen above. Inside, Paul Bonner's incredible fantasy artwork from 2008 until the present day will be given a showcase that it deserves. This also comes with notes and sketches from the artist too, so you can see the stages of the pieces as they came together. A delay is hugely surprising, because Titan Books alone still has multiple art focused books set for release in September. Also on the 1st is Giger's Alien, The Art & Making of Highlander, and The Art of Endless Legend 2, with The Fifth Element: A Visual Retrospective and The Art of Betty & Veronica also coming the same month. Moving the book will give it more breathing room from these releases, and that's before considering multiple artbooks coming from other publishers in the same month. The art was curated by Bonner himself and will share his work on multiple projects and IPs, such as Wizards of the Coast’s Magic: The Gathering, CMON’s The Dead Keep, and more, giving fans a look at his career across a more than 15 year period. This will no doubt excite those that enjoy his style and the personality in the characters and creatures it carries, as well as artists that want a peak at his inspiration and sketches. A page preview that includes early sketches and the final art This is also not the first release from Paul Bonner, as in 2007 he released Out of the Forests: The Art of Paul Bonner, also with Titan Books, though this was significantly smaller at 176 pages. The new book set will pick up where this left off, continuing to highlight the talent of the award-winning artist and his contributions to some of the biggest IP in media. Future updates will be reported here and you can pre-order The Art of Paul Bonner: Down from the Mountains ahead of its November 3rd release here; Buy Here / Buy Here UK #PaulBonner #MagicTheGathering #Wahammer #TrudvangChronicles #TitanBooks

May 29th 2026 On the The Artbook Collector YouTube channel is a look at the artbook Halo Studios' (343 Industries at the time) first game, with Awakening: The Art of Halo 4! Released by Titan Books in 2012 on the same day as the game, something that is exceptionally rare these days, the 192-page book gives players a look at the concept art for the return of Master Chief, but also his new enemies, the Forerunners. You can see the preview in the YouTube video below. The artists on the Halo games have always been exceptional, delivering beautiful environment art and, especially with a new faction for Halo 4, great character designs. The team included Art Director Nicolas Bouvier, known best as Sparth, along with Gabriel 'Robogabo' Garza, Josh Kao, Matt Aldrige, Shae Shatz, and many more, all getting the showcase they deserve in this book. The release of this book was followed by The Art of Halo 5: Guardians and The Art of Halo Infinite, each sharing the work of the teams on the games. In 2011, Titan Books also released Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds, covering the previous releases from Bungie who developed the games before moving onto the Destiny series. Halo 4 is a first-person shooter released on November 6, 2012, the first entry in the Halo franchise from developer 343 Industries. The game once again follows Master Chief as he takes on the ancient Forerunner known as the Didact, as well as looking to save his AI Cortana before she deteriorates and is lost forever. Halo 4 delivered both a single player and multiplayer experience that the fans love, expanding the scope seen in the previous games. It was a major success too, making more than $300 million in its opening week and going on to sell more than 10 million units. Awakening: The Art of Halo 4 is unfortunately sold out, but second hand copies can still be found at good prices online.

May 24th 2025 The Clan of Two has finally hit the big screen, continuing the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu to the delight of fans that enjoyed the series. This has also come with an update to the upcoming artbook, The Art of Star Wars: the Mandalorian and Grogu, as the final cover art has now been confirmed. After using a couple of placeholder images, the above artwork from veteran Star Wars artist Doug Chiang was confirmed to be the final cover art, as shared by the author Phil Szostak on social media. A slightly less refined version of this image was used as one of the placeholders, but the updated artwork will be now be used in the final release. You can see them both below for a comparison. The upcoming book features 256 pages are of artwork and insights for not only the new movie, but also The Mandalorian Season 3 and The Book of Bobba Fett. This continues the series recent efforts to go back and plug the artbook gaps that happened following a break in releases. Before this year, the last release was The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian (Season Two) from 2022, which means that this book will cover the adventures of the unlikely duo since that season ended. Expect to see concept art for the characters, locations, technology, keyframes and more, all created by some of the best artists in the industry. As well as this, their insights will be shared throughout for additional insights into the visual design. Lucasfilm is unique in that it has an in-house art team, as opposed to hiring all of their talent on a contract for each project like the vast majority studios. This allows them to retain a core team of artists that deliver stunning artwork, a lot of which is always wonderfully presented by Abrams Books. Earlier this year The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte was released to break to hiatus and continue the long running tradition of live-action Star Wars releases getting an artbook. Coming June 30th is The Art of Star Wars: Andor that will cover both seasons of the critically praised show. There is no news yet on artbooks for Ashoka, Obi-Wan Kenobi, or Skeleton Crew, but fingers crossed these will be coming to for Star Wars fans. The Mandalorian & Grogu follows Din Djarin and his now adopted son Grogu, as they begin a new adventure after the events of the series on Disney+. It was directed by Jon Favreau, who co-wrote the film with Dave Filoni, and was released on May 22nd 2026. Critics have not been overly fond of the movie, but as is often the case, fans are disagreeing and rating the movie much higher on aggregate websites, which could have many of them interested in this new book. A copy of The Art of the Mandalorian and Grogu will be joining the collection when it arrives on November 3rd to be reviewed and previewed and those interested can order the latest books in the series for their own shelves below; The Art of the Mandalorian and Grogu Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte But Here / Buy Here (UK) The Art of Star Wars: Andor Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) Tags; #StarWars #AbramsBooks #Lucasfilm #Disney

May 23rd 2026 The Autobots took their ongoing battle against the Decepticons to the big screen in 1986 with The Transformers: The Movie, expanding its world beyond a Saturday morning cartoon and helping cement it as a global hit franchise. To celebrate its 40th anniversary, The Transformers: The Movie - The Ultimate Visual History will hit shelves later in the year to share a look at how it was made. The upcoming artbook comes by way of publisher Insight Editions as a 256-page hardcover and will be released on October 27th 2026. It is listed for $60, but discounts are already available for pre-orders, including on Amazon US, with other retailers yet to make the book available to pre-order. The book was actually first spotted in April, but the reason it went unreported here is because, like many books, it wasn't formally announced. Artbooks can be hard to track at the best of times, due to most being simply listed on websites and nothing more, as was the case here. The lack of promotion means some slip by even the most diligent collectors, though I expect Insight Editions will post about The Transformers: The Movie - The Ultimate Visual History closer to its release. Inside will be deep dive into how the move was created, including a look at its story, impressive casting, iconic metal soundtrack, and its lasting impact on the future of the franchise. Some of these details are shared though interviews with those that worked on the movie, making this not just a dive into the artwork, but a nerdy in-depth look at the animation for movie buffs. Of course, this wouldn't be an artbook without art, and this upcoming release will give fans a look at the early concepts and storyboards for the movie. What other images will be included is not yet clear, but often in books like this there is key art and poster art included as well. Part of the official description of the book for the images is as follows; "Central to the film’s legend is its eye-popping visuals, with beautifully rendered vistas, imaginatively conceived characters, and scenes of glorious no-holds-barred destruction. Illustrated with concept art, storyboards, and other visuals, this deluxe book will showcase the incredible design work that went into the film, bringing together a dazzling wealth of never-before-published imagery." The Transformers: The Movie is an animated film from 1986 that followed the debut of the series two years prior, taking place after the second season. It introduced the planet-destroying villain Unicron, while continuing the ongoing war between the Autobots and Decepticons. The movie was darker in tone and gained a cult following in the years after its release, despite its poor critical and commercial success when it was released. Its status as a cult classic certainly puts The Transformers: The Movie - The Ultimate Visual History on the wishlist for the many that would like to learn more about how it was made when it arrives on October 27th.

May 22nd 2026 This week on The Artbook Collector YouTube channel is a look at an older book from 2003, but one that will be forever timeless, Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross! Titan Books published the book over 20 years ago to celebrate the superb artwork of Alex Ross and his contributions to DC Comics. It's packed with his recognizable style that brings a realism to some of the most iconic characters in comics, including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and many more. Check out a preview of the book below. Mythology was put together by writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear to share a look at Ross' early life and art, his work for DC, and a inside peak at his process. Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and more are featured to share a look at his talent, which also includes early sketches and models, to give fans a real insight into what goes into creating the exceptional images. This is not the only book that shares a look at the sketches and illustrations of Alex Ross, because the same team also put together Marvelocity: The Marvel Comics Art of Alex Ross, collecting more artwork, but for Marvel. This was released in 2018, 15 years later, sharing more illustrations and exploring the veteran's legacy in the comic book industry. Alex Ross is an acclaimed comic book artist and painter from Portland, Oregon, renowned for his painted realistic style. he became most known for his work on titles like Marvels and Kingdom Come, as well as his approach to capturing a grounded visual style for Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, and many, many more, all a touch of nostalgia in their presentation.

May 21st 2025 Fans excited to see the expanded artbook for Shovel Knight will have to wait another 6 months, as Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works has been hit with a delay shortly before it was expected to be released by its publisher Udon Entertainment. When this happened is not certain, but the details have been updated sometime in the last few weeks as the book was expected on May 26th, and was even included on my Upcoming Artbooks: May 2026 article. After Udon delayed their other release for the 26th, The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, I checked this title too and it has been pushed all the way back to November 17th 2026. This is a huge delay for a change so close to the finish line, one that has not been acknowledged by Udon themselves, and so was only spotted when checking retailers like Amazon. It's a hugely frustrating part of being a fan of a series or collector of artbooks, because they can be hard to track at the best of times, but radio silence from publishers when these things happen doesn't help. This is not only a problem for those that are aware of the book, but staying silent between the announcement and delayed publication date also prevents more people from finding out it even exists. When the book does arrive though, it will share the early sketches, concepts, pixel art, and illustrations for the original title from Yacht Club Games that was seen in Shovel Knight: Design Works, but upgrades to book to a hardcover and adds over 100 new pages for the other Shovel Knight games. The 2D side-scroller was a huge hit and the original book was fantastic, so this will certainly be on the radar for a lot of fans. There are other 'Ultimate' artbooks from Udon Entertainment, including Marvel vs. Capcom: Ultimate Design Works, that like this book, added addtional pages and packed them in a hardcover format. Just like other publishers, Udon does delay a lot of their releases, but they also go back and revist past books too, which is more uncommon in the artbook world. As much as this delay is less than ideal, it's unlikely you would get the book at all from anyone else and is much appreciated. Future updates for Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works will be reported here and a copy is joining the collection to be reviewed and previewed. Hopefully this is the only delay for the book and players can jump into the artwork on November 17th. Those interested in adding a copy to their own collection can order the book below.

May 20th 2026 The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has had a tumultuous time getting to shelves in the West, with that continuing just days before its May release. After almost a year of setbacks, the upcoming dive into the dark fantasy game Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty from developer Team NINJA has been pushed another month, now expected to arrive in June. Book cover for The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty As before, no specific reason has been given, nor has it even been acknowledged as a delay, but this time the updated information was spotted in a social media post from the publisher Udon Entertainment, who shared that the book is coming June 23rd. Prior to this, the book was expected in less than a week's time on May 26th, following multiple delays. This new release date is now a year later than originally planned when it was announced, which was in June 2025. It is now also a couple of weeks shy of arriving 3 years after the Japanese original from Kadokawa. Listings have also been updated on retailer websites, but it is unknown exactly when this delay happened. It was certainly very recent if it was not today, as it was checked by myself not long ago because a copy is joining the collection to be reviewed. Those that frequent the website will know that delays are very common, sadly affecting most artbooks, but The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty has been hit harder than most, despite being a translated book, as opposed to an Udon Entertainment original. Hopefully this is the last setback for the release, but a social media post is an indication that this could be locked in, because the publisher has shared almost nothing on the book up to this point. Inside the hardcover will be concept art and illustrations for the characters, enemies, locations, weapons, armour, and more, giving fans the chance to enjoy Wo Long's dark fantasy world through the talent of the art team behind it. As well as translating the book into English, it also upgrades the original softcover to a hardcover, in keeping with other books from Udon. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty was released on March 3rd 2023 by Team NINJA and transports players back to fall of the Han Dynasty in China, but with a demonic twist. Players take on creatures and demons with 'soulslike' gameplay combined with fast-paced action. The game went on to sell over a million copies within a couple of months and has had over 5 million players, with help from its availability on Xbox Game Pass. The Art of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will be joining the collection when it arrives on June 23rd, so come back for previews and a review. Any news or updates will be reported here and you can pre-order the book for your own collection here; Buy Here / Buy Here (UK) Tags; #UdonEtnertainment #WoLongFallenDynasty #KoeiTecmo #TeamNinja #Delay
