March 5th 2026 A new artbook has been revealed for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners , the award-winning animated series based on the hugely popular game Cyberpunk 2077 . The new book comes by way of Trigger, the Japanese studio behind the series, who has also shared a couple of previews of what you will find inside. The book was revealed on social media by the studio's official account along with news that it will be up for pre-order on their official store on Friday March 6th. It will be sold for 6600 yen, which is around $42 or £32, but there is no mention of shipping options or prices. However, there is a global store page for Trigger that sells books and other merch, so there is a good chance that those outside of Japan will get the chance to add the new release to their shelf as well. Check out that storefront here . The Art of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will come with 318 pages and 210mm x 257mm in size, making it slightly smaller than A4 but with more pages than a lot of artbooks. I'm unable to see whether this will be a hardcover or a paperback, though this will no doubt be confirmed on the 6th when the page goes live. Trigger have also shared the following preview pages on social media to give fans of the anime an idea of what to expect. They highlight artwork for the background and characters, with some early designs on show indicating this will showcase concept art, not just the final designs. There is no text featured, so don't expect to get insights into each design, although it doesn't rule out the inclusion of insights in the book's introduction or elsewhere. This does give the book an appeal to those outside of Japan as a result, because being light on text means that non-native speakers won't be left missing out on details with these pages. There is no word on if it will be translated into English at this time. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners  was released in 2022 on Netflix by Studio Trigger in partnership with the game's developer CD Projekt Red. It follows David Martinez, an underprivileged teenager in the neon metropolis of Night City, but following tragic events, uses cyberware to become an 'edgerunner'. Becoming a mercenary, he meets fellow edgerunners and find himself in the dangerous underworld of enhancements and corporations. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners  was received well by both critics and the general audience and became so successful that a second season was announced in July of 2025, despite being planned as a standalone series. Future news on the book will be shared here and be sure to head to the Trigger store on March 6th to secure a copy of the book for your own collection.

March 4th 2026 Today publisher Dark Horse Books revealed that they have partnered with Square Enix to release a new book for JRPG fans to enjoy later later this year with The Art of Octopath Traveler: 2020-2023 . The new book will be an English translated edition for Japanese original from 2023. The 224-page hardcover will highlight the artwork and developer commentary behind Octopath Traveler II  and the series' prequel, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent . Players will get to see the early artwork and beautiful key art for both of the titles when it arrives on September 1st 2026. The book was originally released in Japan in 2023 and this upcoming edition marks the first time it will be available in English. It is not the first volume to receive this treatment either, as Dark Horse were also the publisher behind The Art of Octopath Traveler: 2016-2020 in 2024. This book also included artwork for Champions of the Continent as well as the original game, making the upcoming release a direct continuation and perfect for collectors. Like the previous book, expect a showcase of the concepts and designs behind the characters, their in-game pixel art versions, locations, key moments, enemies, items, and more. The stunning visuals of the game began with the talent of the artists behind the series, with this being a fantastic collection of some of that work. Octopath Traveler is a turn-based RPG series from Acquire and Square Enix that began in 2018. Octopath Traveler II  was first released in 2023 and is now available on PC and console, continuing the “eight-path” structure that follows eight protagonists across its world of Solistia. The game delivered unique stories and abilities for the characters to compliment its strategic combat and exploration. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent  is a free-to-play prequel released on mobile and set in Orsterra, before the events of the original game. It retains the single-player turn-based combat, but adds 'gacha' features found in other free games. Champions of the Continent was downloaded 3 million times in just 2 days, making it a hit for developer. More artbooks making their way to the West is never a bad thing and the appetite for them seems to have no end. Dark Horse are a prolific publisher of artbooks for video games in their own right, but have struck a partnership with Square Enix to help bring more to players through translated editions, including 2025's The Art of Bravely Default II: 201X-2021 , so it is likely more will be coming in the future. Future updates for The Art of Octopath Traveler: 2020-2023 will be shared here and expect retail listings for the book to become available very soon for pre-orders.

March 3rd 2026 'The Marvel Art of' series from publisher Clover Press has found huge success on Kickstarter, with each being successful in getting the books funded and later sold at retail. Two of these books, The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham and The Marvel Art of Mike del Mundo were previously listed online for a retail release this month, but new dates have moved them back in the release calendar. The new dates were spotted yesterday on Amazon, which previously had both books arriving on March 31st. I had reached out to the publisher in February before sharing this date on the latest News Roundup video and Upcoming Artbooks article. Unfortunately I didn't get a response and so shared the March date. Now though, The Marvel Art of Tyler Kirkham is set to release May 26th 2026 and The Marvel Art of Mike del Mundo is coming June 30th 2026. Release dates outside of the US can differ, but these have not been updated at this time as confirmed on multiple UK sites. The date given for the look at Kirkham's art is still listed as January 1st 2026, with del Mundo's showcase listed for May. Expect these to be updated in the near future with correct details. The series of artbooks come as high-quality hardcovers and feature over 200 pages with gilded edges, a cloth bookmark and a excellent print finish for the artwork. This makes them perfect for fans that want a premium book in their collection to collect some of the work of their favourite artists. Both Kirkham and del Mundo have an incredible portfolio of artwork and distinct styles, delivering stunning art for some of Marvel's greatest characters. Both titles blew past their funding goal of $10,000 on Kickstarter within hours, allowing them both to go into full production for their retail release. This will be for the standard edition though, but the crowdfunding campaigns from Clover Press allow backers to get exclusive editions and extras, including slipcases, prints, stickers, signed copies, and more, so it's always worth keeping an eye on their future projects. The most recent entry in the series, The Marvel Art of Dan dos Santos , was also successfully funded last month after making more than 10x the funding goal. Despite these release date setbacks, Clover Press have been on a fantastic run with the books and don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. The appetite from Marvel fans wanting books dedicated to some of the best in the industry seemingly has no end, and this series is doing a great job at filling their shelves. You can check out a preview of an earlier entry, The Marvel Art of Alex Maleev , below to get an idea of what to expect. The latest project from Clover Press launched on Kickstarter yesterday for DC Comics, the second in the series and focused on artist Bruno Redondo. You can get more details on The DC Art of Bruno Redondo here. Future updates on the series will be reported here, as well as future artbook announcements from the publisher.

March 3rd 2026 More than 25 years after his debut in 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants became a multi-generational hit with his adventures in Bikini Bottom and eclectic group of friends. Any fan will immediately break out in song just from hearing “Are ye ready, kids?”, and the voices are iconic in the cartoon space. You can’t have a cartoon without the artwork though, which can now be fully explored in the new book SpongeBob SquarePants: The Art of an Undersea World . The book was released by publisher IDW Publishing on March 3 rd and celebrates the long history of everyone’s favourite sponge through art. A copy has now joined the collection, so I can let you know what to expect from this new release. Build Quality This release comes as a 24.2cm x 28.5cm hardcover and with 416 pages, making it a larger artbook compared to most. The publisher opted for thinner paper than found in most artbooks though, likely to prevent issues with the weight on the binding, so it’s not too much thicker than other titles with 250 pages or less. I don’t mind this in practice, because larger books can have pages become loose over time and the pages don’t always fully open up. However, despite the paper choice, the pages still don’t lay flat because there is no flexibility in the binding and this does have an impact on some of the artwork as you will shortly see. What I do love about this book though, even before it arrived, is the cover art. It perfectly encapsulates the fun and colourful nature of SpongeBob and having him creating his own artwork is perfectly themed, making this one of my favourite covers in the collection. As a side note, the book was delivered without a plastic shrink wrap and although better for the environment, in a cold and damp climate of somewhere like here in the UK, it warps the pages as seen below. Those that have experienced this know how much of a pain it is to correct the wavy effect, if it can be at all. If you live in a colder climate, it’s worth keeping this in mind. Content The Art of an Undersea World features artwork and insights for not just the show, but the movies and spin-offs too, covering the weird and wonderful adventures of SpongeBob, Patrick, Gary, Squidward, and more from 1999 to 2025. There is a lot to cover which ends up being both a positive and a negative. It starts with the inception of SpongeBob, what was once called ‘ SpongeBoy, Ahoy! ’, from creator Stephen Hillenburg, showcasing some early concepts that are great to see from as early as 1996. It highlights Hillenburg’s early life and career, before getting into the creation of the show, from funding to making the pilot with the voice cast. It includes interviews with artists, writers, and voice actors for an engaging look at its inception. From here it focuses on the art, beginning with the original show. Here you get some early sketches, a few drawing guides, line art, final designs, and final stills for the main characters. SpongeBob and Patrick get a couple of spreads each with the others coming with just one, alongside notes on their characters with more interviews with the creators and cast as well. The artwork is fantastic and shows the designs that help make the characters special, including some that don’t look like the final result. However, it does feel like a missed opportunity to show more of the unused concepts from the earliest history of the characters, because most are what we all recognise. The wider cast of recurring characters, such as Flying Dutchman and Larry the Lobster, get between half a page and a full page each, but lack the early sketches seen before. These pages feature line art and final designs only for the most part, with the exception of some small storyboards, but this is an unfortunate result of covering so much in one book. Locations fair much better with some nice concept art and maps of Bikini Bottom, though some places again only showcase what you have seen in the show. It’s a similar situation for sections for The Patrick Star Show and Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years , although the latter includes 3D models as well. Some more early concepts would have been nice to see, but there is only so much space in the book and so it would be hard to fit them all in, but to have very little is disappointing. The movie chapter covers 6 releases; The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie , The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water , SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run , Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie , Plankton: The Movie , and 2025’s The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants . There is a better mix of artwork, with more concepts shared for each release, particularly for the more recent movies, and 3D models shown for those that used it as well. It’s here you get the best showcase of the art that makes the shows and movies great to watch, with the character designs that are inventive and full of personality, wonderful key frame concepts that capture the essence of SpongeBob, the unique locations, and some assets too. The early drawings of expressions and animation as seen below is the stuff that’s always a joy to see and so I was happy more of it was included in this chapter. Over 100 pages are dedicated to Search for SquarePants , making it my favourite part of the book as a result. With so much more space to dive into the work of the artists, you get a lot more development art, from unused designs to movie beats that capture the tone of a scene. There are a lot more full-colour pieces for key moments too, that while not final, look just as good as what you get on screen, just with a more painterly style that shows off the talent of the team. Many of these will likely be favourite pieces for readers of the book. There isn’t a huge amount of reading to do after the early chapters of the book, but more interview quotes from the teams are sprinkled throughout for some insights into the shows and movies. This includes lore of the characters and locations, but also intentions and ideas behind the stories and designs. With so much to fit in, I like that they didn’t flood the book with text and kept it very art focused. Small notes are also included on each page to describe the artwork too, such as what they depict and at what stage of production they are, from conceptual to a final frame. Credits The artist credits are not shown on each page, so it’s not possible to know which artist created each image. I tend to give more leeway on this for books that cover a long history of a series or franchise though, as the information may not be available for artwork created over 20 years ago. What IDW did do though that I appreciate, is list artists on the last page with the following note; “ The publisher has to the best of its ability identified and credited those artists whose work is features in this volume .”. This is a thoughtful approach in a situation where they did not have all the information available and I like that they included it. Use of Space Despite having over 400 pages, there is still a huge amount to fit in to cover so much SpongeBob, so it’s a good thing that the designers made the most of each spread and didn’t waste the space available to them. Pages are full of artwork and insights with clear layout designs and a balanced use of pieces that take up a full page. Backgrounds are kept simple which always works well when there is very little empty space as it keeps them from becoming distracting. The team at IDW have done an excellent job in this regard. One of the things that holds this book back though is the binding as mentioned before. Without the flexibility that allows the pages to lay flat, there is more image loss in the centre fold than is ideal. Of course, this only has an impact on double page spreads and some fare better than others, but as the focal point is often in the middle of the art, it can spoil them. It’s a tough problem to avoid and there are trade-offs with more flex in the binding, such as the potential for page signatures to separate over time, but there are ways of working around this like picking art that has less of a focal point on the centre line. Below is an example. Value This release comes with an RRP of $49.99 or £45, which is the norm in the US, although more expensive in the UK at the equivalent of around $60 due to exchange rates. In the US you are getting a lot packed in for the same price as books with half the number of pages, making it very reasonable from a value perspective. A price drop is recommended more for UK fans though. Good news then that discounts are already available for the book, with a 10% reduction on Amazon US and a huge 37% off on the UK site. This brings the book below £30 and hugely improves the value for money and makes it much easier to recommend. Discounts come and go, but does show that you can find yourself a very good price point, even at release. Verdict SpongeBob SquarePants: The Art of an Undersea World is a mixed bag when it comes to how I feel about it. Some sections are superb and showcase early concepts and art that holds the personality of the show that captured the hearts of many. However, other sections lack the same range of images, only highlighting the developed designs. It does a good job at covering SpongeBob’s history, but that does mean some releases get more of a focus than others. Overall, despite some issues, fans will find a lot to enjoy in this book’s charming artwork and creator insights, making it a nice addition to the shelf. For those interested in the concept and development art it boasts in the description on the back of the book, it’s a little more hit and miss, but sections that do include it make up for those that don’t. It’s easy to recommend to those that watched the shows and all of the movies. If you only watched the original show, you'll likely still find yourself enjoying the wonderful artwork of the newer releases as well.

It shares a lot of unused designs too, including a battle suit for Fragile, a katana wielding Tomorrow, and vehicles that didn't get added. There's not much to read, but some of the pages share some interesting design insights. In my review I talk about how I enjoyed the range of both art styles and stages of development on show, as well as the production quality of the book. It's a design focused book that is light on keyframe and gameplay moment concepts which is worth keeping in mind too. You can read my full review here - Book Review .

February 25th 2026 Players in the West of the wildly popular game Genshin Impact will get to enjoy some more artwork for the game very soon, as the third artbook for the free-to-play action game is being released in English in October 2026. Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Vol. 3 was originally released last year in Chinese with the above cover and can be bought as an import, although it's hard to pin down exactly when it released, as different sites have different details. In the case of Amazon Japan that has the previous volumes, a completely different title and no original release date has been listed. The new listings for its English edition, shared on social media by Wario64 , aren't much more clear with its release, as seen on Amazon US , France, Germany, and the UK . The American listing has the book coming on October 13th which makes it the most reliable, because Tuesdays are the normal day for a book release. In Europe it is detailed as coming on October 8th, though this could always change to match. The page count of 212 and Expanse acting as the publisher is consistent in all listings and it is being sold with an RRP of $35 or £30, the lower end of pricing for an artbook. The original had 205 pages and it is currently unknown what the extra pages will contain, or if the new listings are using placeholders, as could be the case based on the title including a description for the book. Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Vol. 3 includes artwork from version 3.0 to 3.8, covering the characters, monsters, keyframes, and locations. It's worth noting for those unfamiliar with the books that this is not an 'Art of' style release with concept art, it is very much an illustration book showcasing the talent of the artists behind each piece, as opposed to the early and unused designs. Genshin Impact has maintained a huge player base since its launch in 2020, with around 5 million daily active users jumping into its open world to this day. The role-playing game was developed by miHoYo and gives fans the ability to switch between four characters in their party to take on enemies and explore Teyvat, but also allows up to four friends to play together across different platforms. The game is now on version 6.4, so it is very likely more artbooks are on the way. Future updates will be shared here and those interested can pre-order Genshin Impact: Official Art Book Vol. 3 below; Buy Here  / Buy Here UK Tags; #GenshinImpact #miHoYo #Expanse

February 23rd 2026 Square Enix released a look back at the art for the Final Fantasy Tactics games last year in Japan, with an English edition expected to release at a later date as is tradition for the company. This version has now been confirmed as The Art of Final Fantasy Tactics is confirmed coming to the West later this year. The Art of Final Fantasy Tactics cover art The book is arriving on November 10th and now that the Japanese version is out, we know that the book comes with 128 pages of art, but unlike that edition, this will come as a hardcover and not a paperback, which is much better for book preservation. It is arriving just after a year after the original, a release gap that is not unusual for video game artbooks from Japanese developers. Inside it features artwork for the original Final FantasyTactics game from 1997, the 2007 PSP release, The War of the Lions , and the remastered version of the game, The Ivalice Chronicles from 2025. This includes artwork for the characters, jobs, and maps, as well as illustrations used in collaboration projects. It is A4 in size which matches the other Final Fantasy artbooks, including The Art of Final Fantasy XVI . Final Fantasy Tactics was developed and published by Square Enix for the original PlayStation in 1997 and is set in Ivalice with protagonist Ramza Beoulve. The game uses grid-based maps to create strategic turn-based gameplay that utilizes the environment. In 2007 it was re-released on PSP as Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions , adding in-game cutscenes, widescreen support, new characters, items, jobs, and multiplayer.

February 23rd 2026 Masters of the Universe is headed to the big screen this summer, with a live-action adaptation from director Travis Knight, exciting fans of the long-running series and likely to create new ones too. No stranger to the world of merch, Mattel are giving the movie the artbook treatment, with a new release coming later this year with Masters of the Universe: The Art of the Film ! Cover art for the upcoming book Coming from Mattel's own publishing arm Mattel Press, the new book is set for release on September 22nd 2026 and will come as a 224 page hardcover with a dustjacket. Inside readers will get to pore over artwork for the movie, as well as interviews with the crew for deeper insights into the latest take on He-Man, Skeletor, and the world of Eternia. It is authored by Dan Jolin, who has penned multiple books about movies and directors, and the foreword come from Travis Knight. Below is the official description of the book; "This definitive visual chronicle invites fans into the world of Masters of the Universe 2026 film — from its earliest conception to its vibrant, action-packed final form. Perfectly giftable in its stunning foiled and jacketed hardcover format; it’s the missing piece to any collector’s library! Author Dan Jolin documents every major stage of production: from initial conversations with the producers about how to honor the legacy of the classic toys and animated series; to the design studios where the re-imagined costumes for Prince Adam / He-Man, Teela, and their allies were forged; to the dark citadels of Skeletor and his sinister entourage. With rich, full-color imagery and unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, learn how the world of Eternia was rebuilt for the 21st century — from the hulking arm-cannon of Trap Jaw to the swirling mystic forces of The Sorceress." The book is available to pre-order in the US on sites that includes Amazon , with more listings expected to appear soon elsewhere. There are no page previews for the book, so it is unclear as to whether this will be a concept art focused book, or one that includes a lot of on-set photography as well, as seen in many movie 'Art of' volumes. It also comes with an RRP of $60 in the US, which is at the higher end for artbooks, but not outside the expected pricing in 2026 either. It will also hit shelves just over 3 months after the movie premiers, which is a good thing for those wanting more after the credits roll, because it is shorter gap than a lot of tie-in books. Future updates on Masters of the Universe: The Art of the Film will be shared here and be sure to keep an eye on your go to bookstore to place a pre-order when the option becomes available.

February 23rd 2026 Death Stranding made a return in 2025, allowing players to take the role of Sam Bridges again with more scenery to admire and strange enemies to take on. The games from Hideo Kojima are anything but conventional, but fortunately he works with talented artists that can bring these visions to life, as seen in the newly released book, The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach ! The book is now available after being released on February 17th 2026 by Titan Books, publisher of the artbook for the first game with The Art of Death Stranding . But does it, pardon the pun, deliver ? A copy has now joined collection so I break down what to expect and give my thoughts. Build Quality This new release matches the first Death Stranding artbook, coming as a 31cm x 28cm hardcover with a dustjacket and 240 pages, making it a very large. The paper, print, and binding quality is all very good and the edges of the pages, as well as some of the interior, are gilded in bronze, the same way the first book was done in gold. Under the dustjacket is a plain black cover with a spot-varnished title. This all comes together to create a well-made book that looks great too, so a good start for Titan Books. Content People that own artbooks will know that there is a wide variety in what you can get in these releases, with this one coming light on text to read and filling the pages with art, as seen in the photos. The book covers the characters, enemies, vehicles, weapons, and locations, everything you expect to see in a video game artbook and it works well in balancing each of these. Text comes in the form of short paragraphs that can simply describe what you are seeing on the page, or give some behind the scenes insights. These include early ideas and game design notes, such as envisioning Tomorrow with a katana, having to design the back of Sam’s suit as he can remove his backpack, and concepting a mech suit for Fragile. Fans will find some nice details here and there amongst the artwork, but as it is design focused, don’t expect a development history or interviews. The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach has a wonderful range of artwork, from styles to different stages of designs. Yoji Shinkawa is back as the Art Director, delivering his unique style that somehow manages to be loose, yet detailed, and bold, yet painterly, art that is always a joy to see. His team also have concepts that can be highly detailed with clean lines, a little more rough around the edges, or created as 3D models too, making the spreads more engaging throughout. What I really like is that the book features early sketches, thumbnails, and animation exploration among the full colour pieces for all of the chapters, some of which are featured as part of the background. Fans of the game will enjoy seeing the variety and the designs that didn’t get used, but are equally as impressive as what is seen in the game. Whether it be for the main cast, the BTs, or the brutalist style of the architecture that would look at home in Dune  or Blade Runner , I thoroughly enjoyed what was included. There is a lot that stood out in this volume, such as the weapons pages that include concepts from sketches to 3D models, which is more than you get in a lot of artbooks. There isn’t a lot of keyframes or story moments shown though, with the designs being the focal point, but some are included for the BTs. There are also many pieces that focus on boots and gloves for different characters, something that stood out as interesting as it’s typically heads and torsos that get a separate focus. The section for the Ghost Mechs was a favourite part for me personally because of the intricate details in their designs. Credits Sadly, the credits are not featured on each page, so it’s not clear who is responsible for the pieces of artwork. The last page, as seen below, does list the members of the art team, so they aren’t excluded entirely which is good. Use of Space The Art of Death Stranding 2 does an excellent job with the page design, filling the spreads up but not overcrowding them either. The large dimensions of the book allow even the smaller images to get a strong showcase, also helped by the print quality. The backgrounds are kept simple, with 3 block colours used at most and the occasional sketch featured behind the art on the page. The less is more approach works well and the bronze sections on the page are reflective too, giving the book a premium feel. Overall, the team at Titan Books have helped Kojima Productions show off their artwork effectively while fitting a lot in. Value The hardcover has an RRP of $50/£40, which is the norm for a video game artbook in 2026. For the size and production quality, including the gilded paper edges that you rarely see in a standard edition, this is good value for money. However, that of course improves if you can find a discount, which there are some already available on the week of release. Using Amazon as I always do for these reviews, the book is 20% off in the US and 25% off in the UK at the time of writing this, putting it under $40/ £30. Anything below the RRP is a great price, so bargain hunters finding the book as low as this will be getting themselves a very good deal. Verdict The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is an impressive collection of artwork for the hit game, delivering a variety of art and a lot of unused concepts. The art styles are often distinct, especially for the characters, which when combined with the unique world and designs for the game, made my time with the book engaging from cover to cover. This is a superb volume of concept art that comes highly recommended for fans of Death Stranding and even sci-fi art in general.

February 20th 2026 The upcoming artbook for the third instalment of Avatar has had new updates, exciting fans that are looking forward to seeing the concept art behind the visual powerhouse. The Art of Avatar: Fire and Ash was revealed here in December following an early listing for the book, but this new update has replaced the placeholder cover with the official artwork, as well as changing the release date. You can see the new cover with art from Dylan Cole below. The upcoming hardcover from publisher DK is now coming July 21st 2026, moving it back in the month after the original listing gave it a July 2nd release. Dates often change in the artbook world as many readers and collectors will know, so this is not unexpected and may have also been an early placeholder. The 272 page count and description remains the same though, and it comes with an RRP of $50 or £35, both of which are very reasonable for a book of this size. Previews have also been shared online, which you can see below; These updates can also be taken as an official announcement, because when the book listing was reported in December, it wasn't available to view on most websites, with some only showing the book in search results using the ISBN number. To add to this, it has also now been shared on social media by the movie's production designer Dylan Cole. The official description is as follows; "Explore the magnificent behind-the-scenes artwork underpinning James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash. Discover how crucial scenes were conceived and marvel at the incredible attention to detail that the Avatar artists brought to the development of new characters like Varang, leader of the fearsome Ash People, and aerial creatures like the medusoid and windray. Hundreds of spectacular images convey all the power, beauty, and intricate detail with which the Avatar film franchise has enthralled millions all over the world. Written in full collaboration with James Cameron’s production company Lightstorm, Art of Avatar: Fire and Ash provides a unique window into a visionary movie universe." Avatar: Fire and Ash  has made over $1.4 billion at the box office, continuing the series' huge success. The visual effects and visual design are incredible, possible in no small part because of the talented artists working with James Cameron and Wētā Workshop. If the previous book, The Art of Avatar: The Way of Water, and the previews are anything to go by, this will be another excellent addition to the shelves of fans. Dylan Cole also released a s superb artbook last year, Creating Worlds: The Disney and 20th Century Studios Cinematic Art of Dylan Cole , which also includes artwork for the first Avatar and The Way of Water , among other movies. You can read a review of that book here - Book Review - Creating Worlds . Future updates on The Art of Avatar: Fire and Ash will be shared here and those interested can pre-order the book below.

February 18th 2026 Marvel fans have another artbook to look forward to for the long running series from Marvel Studios, as a new listing has appeared online that will deliver a look at the artwork behind Peter Parker's upcoming adventure in Spider-Man: Brand New Day . Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie is now on the site of Penguin Random House, with a live page available on Barnes and Noble , as well as on Amazon US via a ISBN number search. This comes with details on the book, including a release date of August 4th 2026, while also using the below placeholder image. There are three details of note, first the release date, then the price and page count, which I will break down here. August 4th 2026 is less than a week after the movie's July 31st premier, which would make this a very short gap between the two releases. While this may be the intention of the Marvel-published book, this would be odd, given that Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie came over three months after the movie, but was still one of the shortest gaps in recent years, with others coming six months to two years after the project they are based on. They have been closing the gap with the movie artbooks, but this could indicate it is a placeholder date. It's always worth noting, as has been reported an endless amount of times on this site, Marvel miss their original dates, having delayed (or cancelled in a couple of cases) the last 27 books in a row, so take this new date with a big pinch of salt. Next is the pricing and the 224-page count, which indicates that this is not going to be a 'Deluxe Edition' as seen with First Steps , one that added a small booklet, but also 32 extra pages. Prior to this, all Multiverse Saga artbooks have been capped at 224 pages, as this one is, which is good news for fans as that increase came with a huge price tag of $150. The price for Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie is just $50, which also signals that this won't have a slipcase either, which were added for the movie books starting with Marvel Studios' Deadpool & Wolverine: The Art of the Movie , which saw the price rise to $100. Fans may be split on this, as while some enjoyed the value the slipcase added, others saw this as a steep increase from $60 to include it with 5 prints. With this coming even under that price point, it could be that Marvel are reverting back to the older format again. The official description of the book is also included; "Marvel Studios is proud to present the latest volume in its acclaimed Art of the Movie series as Spider-Man swings back onto the silver screen! Four years have gone by since we last caught up with our friendly neighborhood hero. Peter Parker is no more, but Spider-Man is at the top of his game keeping New York City safe. Things are going well for our anonymous hero until an unusual trail of crimes pulls him into a web of mystery larger than he’s ever faced before. In order to take on what’s ahead, Spider-Man not only needs to be at the top of his physical and mental game, but he must also be prepared to face the repercussions of his past! As Spider-Man: Brand New Day wows moviegoers the world over, discover the behind-the-scenes magic of the film’s visual development—from early concept sketches to final character designs. Explore environments, costumes, and exclusive insights from the next chapter for Marvel’s neighborhood hero!" A preview of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps - The Art of the Movie All of these details could change, as they often do in the artbook world, which includes this ongoing series for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Placeholders are very common and these are the earliest listings, with other sites not having it available yet at all. No doubt more updates are to come, but this is at least confirmation that the book is coming, as predicted in a list at the start of the year here - New Artbook Predictions for 2026 . From the perspective of someone that reviews and covers the series, releasing the books without the slipcases is a smart move, especially for one based on one of the most popular characters in the MCU in Spider-Man, because the pricing makes it much more accessible for fans. The prior price increases were too high from a value perspective and left many passing on them, or waiting for discounts. The release date is also hard to believe based on the last 27 releases, but it would be fantastic if they managed to hit it. Future changes to Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie will be reported here, and those interested can read reviews for the series below, including the re-releases of the Infinity Saga books from Titan Books.

February 16th 2026 Great Scott, Back to the Future is over 40 years old! The trilogy of movies are iconic classics that have gone on to be adapted into other mediums, creating fans across multiple generations. To mark the milestone, a look back at the franchise is now available in an updated book, Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History (Revised and Expanded Edition) ! This re-release of the 2015 book from Insight Editions and Titan Books delivers the same content found in the original, with additional pages to include more on Back to the Future since its release. This makes the book the most comprehensive deep dive to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Marty and Doc’s adventures across time. Titan Books have kindly provided a copy, so I can share my thoughts on the new book that has a February 17th 2026 release date! Build Quality It comes as a 24cm x 28.5cm hardcover, with 272 pages of insights and imagery, making it a hefty book. The binding is strong and does an excellent job of providing enough flexibility to make the pages lay flat with ease as well. Also inside are some thoughtful physical extras that I will touch on shortly. The cover has an embossed and spot varnished logo and DeLorean, a nice touch that gives it a more premium feel. The production quality, including the print finish, is very good all round and won’t leave fans disappointed. Content There is a huge amount included across the book’s pages, giving fans a lot to read about the series, as well as images to enjoy too. This really is the definitive book for those that love Back to the Future because it shares so much, including the highs and lows and leaving no stone left unturned. It begins with background of creators Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, before getting into how the first film came to fruition. From inception, to being dropped and finding life again, casting, and more, the fascinating history of how Back to the Future started is shared in full and is an engaging read. Author Michael Klastorin does a wonderful job throughout, delivering a huge amount of detail between the interviews with the cast and crew. The book highlights the shoots of each movie by breaking them down into weeks, starting in November of 1984, which includes filming with Eric Stoltz before he was replaced by Michael J. Fox. Within this pages you learn about the challenges faced by the cast and crew, the locations, and even the business side of what was happening. It’s impossible to highlight here the full range of insights that you can read about, because it’s a truly impressive and detailed breakdown of the movies that fans will appreciate. As well as the trilogy, a large part of the book looks at the history of Back to the Future: The Ride , the animated series, the music, merch, and more, with the same level of care. The story of Marty and Doc expands beyond the screen and this book celebrates that as well, highlighting the impact the time-travelling adventures have had on pop culture. Of course, this is the ‘ Revised and Expanded Edition ’, so more has been added to mark the 40-year milestone. Added to the book are events and releases that have happened since 2015, including the documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie being released, the musicals in the UK, Broadway, and Japan, and new merchandise like an updated Lego DeLorean. This new edition of Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History is perfect for fans new and old to get lost in four decades of cinema history. As the titles indicates, this is a visual guide, which means there are a lot of images inside to pore over as well. Most of this is made up of production photos, from days on set, to the cast of the stage productions. Pages are littered with these as you can see in the previews and will give film buffs a lot to enjoy. Alongside this is concept art too, with sketches of characters, the DeLorean, sets, and even the amusement park ride. Seeing early and unused designs is always a highlight of a book for me personally, so I was very happy to see so much included. The final and concept posters from artist Drew Struzan also stood out as a favourite part of the book. Other images cover casting call sheets, script pages, and storyboards, adding to the range of insights. Something that I also really liked was the physical extras that are found inside. These are items that have been placed within the pages to really cement the book as something special for fans. A lenticular photo of Marty McFly and his family, the envelope with “ Do not open until 1985 ”, a Biff dollar note, a movie poster, and other extras didn’t need to be included as there is so much here already, but they are a superb addition from the publishers. The below preview shows one of these inclusions. Credits Continuing the positivity of the review is the use of notes on every page for the images. Photos are given a description of what you are seeing and the person or studio responsible for the artwork is credited too. You can’t ask for much more than this and it’s always great to see it done in this way. Use of Space As you can see in the photos, the book is packed with images and text to read on every page. The designers have left no space wasted without overwhelming the reader either. The backgrounds are kept clean and this always works best in a book that has so much included, because it doesn’t become distracting or create a mess. The book is far from small with 272 pages, but I’m happy to see the team still got the most out of each page. Value This updated version of the book has an RRP of $74/ £54.99, putting it at the higher end of companion books. However, this is a large book and includes some physical extras as well, justifying the higher price tag. Taking into account this, the production quality and the sheer amount of content shared in its pages, fans won’t feel stung ordering at the full price. At the time of writing this just before its February 17th release, there are no discounts on Amazon, the site I check for my reviews. However, discounts frequently come and go and it’s always worth keeping an eye our for sales. If you can’t wait though and love Back to the Future, you will still find good value here. Verdict Back to the Future: The Ultimate Visual History (Revised and Expanded Edition) takes the already excellent book and updates it with yet more interesting details to mark the 40th anniversary of the DeLorean’s first trip into the past. From the conception of the first movie, to the animated show and modern collectibles, this is an outstanding volume of insights, photos and artwork that will take you on your own adventure through time.

February 13th 2026 PlayStation treated gamers to over an hour of updates and new announcements for upcoming games yesterday (February 12th) and it was one of their strongest State of Plays yet. Now that some time has passed and wishlists have been updated, I wanted to take a look back over the titles shown and highlight some that may get the artbook treatment! Below is a list of all of the games in the showcase, with some highlighted with deeper speculation and thoughts. Kena: Scars of Kosmora The new game from Ember Labs is a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits , and like that game, looks beautiful. No artbook was released for the first game though, but with a partnership with Sony and a bigger game on the way, perhaps ' The Art of Kena ' is a possibility to see art for both releases. Ghost of Yōtei Mentioned in my New Artbook Predictions for 2026 article last month, this is very likely to get the artbook treatment given that PlayStation partnered with Dark Horse for The Art of Ghost of Tsushima . It's also worth noting that it included art for its 'Legends' mode, which was just revealed for Ghost of Yōtei , so the timing is now right. This is an artbook I'm very confident will get a reveal this year. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach - The game was shown to announce a PC port, but an artbook is already coming very soon, with The Art of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach releasing February 17th 2026! 4 Loop - While multiplayer titles do get artbooks, they are much less common. I wouldn't expect one for this new co-op shooter, but if it becomes a big hit, it's always possible. Pragmata - Capcom's upcoming third-person action game is looking very nice visually and a showcase of the concept art would be most welcome, but the developer can be hit and miss on releasing artbooks. Series like Street Fighter still get releases from Udon Entertainment, but others like Resident Evil have been skipped in recent years. ' Pragmata: Design Works ' is a possibility, but it may depend on the game's success. Resident Evil Requiem - As mentioned, this series has been without an artbook for some time. While books are released, they haven't been any dedicated to concept art since Resident Evil Revelations: Official Complete Works in 2015. If there hasn't been artbooks for the last two instalments, I have no reason to believe one is coming for this game either. Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered - Remasters of this nature are never cause for a look at the artwork behind them, so fans wont be expecting more than this updated game. Brigandine Abyss - Another game unlikely to receive an artbook, the last was for Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia , but that was only included in the Collector's Edition. Dead or Alive 6: Last Round - The classic series does have artwork printed in books, but there is no history of dedicated artbooks to indicate that one may be coming for its return. Control Resonant Developer Remedy Entertainment have released artbooks in the past, but it's not been the most collector friendly in its approach. The Art and Making of Control was published by Future Press, and while their books are of a high quality, their print runs are very limited, making this book expensive on second hand markets. The Alan Wake II Art Book was only included in a Collector's Edition from Limited Run Games, which was again not mass produced. The good news is that Alan Wake: Design Works is coming from Lost in Cult, so fans can grab some art for their previous games later this year. Although this is a hybrid book that dives deep into the development of the series alongside the art, it does highlight the studio's commitment to releasing books, so there is a good chance one will be made. Crimson Moon - Developer ProbablyMonsters is a small studio with no previous artbook releases, so it's highly unlikely that their new co-op action game will be receiving one either. Beast of Reincarnation - Game Freak is sitting on gold with the Pokémon series, yet they don't release artbooks. This could be down to Nintendo though, who are strangely lacking a library of concept art deep-dives for some of the biggest franchises in gaming. This is a completely new type of game though, so it's not impossible one will arrive. Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition - While on its own I would be confident ruling this one out, a book has actually already been revealed! Into the Glade of Dreams: The Art and Design of Rayman from publisher Cook and Becker is set to arrive later this year and looks back at the series as a whole. Mina The Hollower Yacht Club Games are finally making a return this year with Mina the Hollower to the joy of patient fans. It's far from the safest bet on the list, but an artbook was made for Shovel Knight , which was a fantastic look at the designs behind the characters and maps with a lot of early sketches. The book is getting a re-release in the form of Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works from Udon Entertainment in May, so keep an eye out for this potential release! Neva: Prologue - GRIS | Neva Art Book was included in a Collector's Edition from Devolver Digital for the games, but as a standalone artbook? Unfortunately it's unlikely. Yakoh Shinobi Ops - This interesting looking fantasy co-op game has some cool enemy designs, but a game of this size is unlikely to get an artbook. Project Windless Is this game likely to get an artbook? Based on Krafton's history, no. Is a game with a buff sword-wielding cockerel-like birdman in need of one? Absolutely! This upcoming open-world RPG was one of the highlights of the show, not just because of the protagonist either, but because the combat and visuals are very impressive. It's fast action and fantasy designs have left many excited to see the new game, one that is based on the Korean novels The Bird That Drinks Tears . It has drawn comparisons to Dynasty Warriors , but players of Heavenly Sword on PlayStation 3 will also feel at home too. Star Wars: Galactic Racer - This promising looking release is set to arrive sometime this year and has pulled in a lot of positive attention. An artbook for this game is not a sure thing, because although Star Wars has a very rich history and back catalogue of books filled with stunning artwork, not all of their games get them, and the racing genre isn't known to receive them either. I would certainly buy one if it was announced though! 007 First Light Developer IO Interactive are diving into the past of James Bond with a new story-driven action game. It certainly has elements of their flagship series Hitman, but it's adding set pieces to allow for bigger blockbuster moments. Standalone artbooks would be new for the studio, but if they were to start with any game, this would be it. ' The Art of 007 First Light ' is within the realm of possibility. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 - Art for the game have been published before, but no book was released for Vol. 1, so don't expect anything for this upcoming collection. Darwin's Paradox - As much as I would love to see the art behind the stealth-action sidescroller and its Octopus lead, it's highly unlikely to be printed in a book. Castlevania: Belmont's Curse - The long-awaited return of Castlevania comes by way of Evil Empire and Motion Twin, the teams behind Dead Cells . There is a chance of an artbook, as the series owner Konami has worked with book publishers in the past and The Heart of Dead Cells: A Visual Making-Of was released by Third Éditions. Silent Hill: Townfall - This is unlikely to get the artbook treatment, as sadly for fans of the series, previous entries also went without them. Rev. Noir - It's always hard to guess whether anime style games will get an artbook, but the market for them is huge, so if the game makes a big splash, it could happen. John Wick - Saber Interactive are bringing the visceral action to the hands of gamers in this upcoming release. The movies are so video game coded in places that one in this style was inevitable. An artbook though? I'm not so sure, the world has some interesting lore behind it, but visually it doesn't do anything too crazy. If it has big action set pieces like 007 First Light , then it's always possible, but if it stays more grounded, there less of a need for one. Marathon This is an interesting one, because the team at Bungie not only have a history of creating stunning concept art, but they like to release books to showcase that too, as seen with Halo and Destiny. I am expecting to see ' The Art of Marathon ', or a similarly titled book, but there have also been some controversial findings of art theft for this game too. The issue of the stolen art from Antireal has been resolved behind closed doors since their work was found in the game, but people have still not forgotten. Stories like this are known by hardcore gamers, but the more casual may be completely unaware enough that it wouldn't impact sales of an artbook. Marathon is also entering an unsteady landscape too, one that has seen multiplayer games fail, but Bungie have a better chance than most of creating a hit and justifying a look at the art behind it. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Games - There was nothing of note here to mention in terms of new artbooks, but one does already exist for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac. The Art of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a fantastic release from Dark Horse for those that want more from its world. Saros Also mentioned in my New Artbook Predictions for 2026 , Saros is a game that looks incredible and will likely get an artbook release. Not only are PlayStation Studios happy to partner with publishers for books, but The Art of Returnal from Housemarque and Dark Hose was released in 2024. It did take time to arrive, but ' The Art of Saros ' could always come quicker. Check out a preview of their last book below. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls - The upcoming fighting game will certainly be popular, in part because of the new takes on the designs of Marvel characters. An artbook is always likely with a Marvel game, as seen with The Art of Marvel Rivals , The Art of Marvel SNAP , Marvel's Midnight Suns - The Art of the Game , and many more. God of War Trilogy Remake & God of War: Sons of Sparta The State of Play ended with two new reveals for God of War, starting with the God of War Trilogy Remake . This is likely a long way off, it wouldn't be a shock if this was a PS6 game given that it's in early development. The chances of an artbook are up in the air though until we know more. If this is a new coat of paint, like we saw with The Last of Us Part I , then an artbook is not needed, especially as the Greek games had art shared in last year's release God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective from Dark Horse. This two-volume set also included the Norse games too, but still reduces the need to print artwork again for the games. You can see a review of that book below. If the remakes are total overhauls though, there's always a chance, but I think that it's unlikely they would change much because it would be too much work to be worth announcing yet. God of War: Sons of Sparta is a new Metroidvania that takes players back to the youth of Kratos and was released yesterday after a shadow drop. The scale of the game and its use of existing designs does lower the chances of an artbook significantly, so I'm not expecting another God of War title in the collection for this one, but it would always be most welcome. Perhaps it will be included for a 30th anniversary book! That's brings us to the end of the list and my speculations of books that could expand your collection. There was a lot to enjoy in the State of Play and I'm hoping it will being a lot of concept art to pore over as well. Until then though, check out the Upcoming page ! for books that have been announced and stick around for more news and reviews of artbooks!

February 12th 2026 Pixar is back with its new critter-filled movie Hoppers , an animated movie about a young girl that enters the animal kingdom as a beaver, after transferring her mind using experimental technology. This set the stage for a wonderful collection of critters and characters, perfect for another entry in their artbook series! The Art of Hoppers was made in partnership with Chronicle Books and was released on February 10th 2026 (February 19th in the UK), a month before the movie premiered. With this in mind, my review of the book is spoiler free, but still gives an in-depth look at what to expect from the new release. Build Quality Collectors of the Pixar artbooks will know what to expect, as the series from Chronicle Books has been going for a long time and they keep it very consistent. This is not a bad thing, as the 29cm x 23.5cm hardcover book is well-made yet again. This entry comes with 176 pages made of high-quality gloss paper that is held together by strong binding, while also allowing the pages to open flat without bounce back. This makes it another fantastic job from the publisher. The book has a dustjacket with the cover art seen above, a fun piece created by Daniel Lopez Muñoz, with another image on the back with the book description. There’s not much to see under the dustjacket though, as the book cover is completely green with a debossed ‘Hopping’ loading bar, with the book title and on the spine. Content The artists at Pixar never disappoint and this is another example of that. The Art of Hoppers is full of superb art from front to back, giving readers a lot to enjoy. It covers all stages of development too, from early sketches, to full colour images and 3D renders. Among this are also animation concepts, storyboards, and a colorscript page that is found in each Pixar artbook. This gives a nice variety of artwork for fans to pore over. Variety doesn’t stop at the type of images included though, as there is also a nice mix of art styles as you can see in the previews for the characters, settings, and key moments. Although the majority of the art is created digitally, each artist has still added their own flare, with some looking like watercolour paintings, some having an almost Studio Ghibli style, and others looking much more modern and refined. It’s a joy to see all of this on the same page in many cases, highlighting that expression and design is what makes them work, not matching the final on-screen visuals. Animal lovers hoping to see a lot of adorable designs will not be let down with The Art of Hoppers ! Another highlight is the large number of early sketches that, while not focused on detail, express character and personality for the characters and animals of Hoppers . These sometimes come with artist notes or speech bubbles, adding to who the characters are. Many of these are done digitally, but there’s also a good amount of paper sketches included too, something I always like to see. Whether it be the early sketches, or the later designs, there is an incredible amount of charm in the artwork that helps make Pixar movies special. There are also some physical models used and shown here, like a miniature for a log dam, which is a nice touch. As well as this, photos are shared of the team doing research for the movie and allows you to see how the real world directly impacted their designs. Storyboards are shown throughout the pages, giving an insight into how the scenes look at their earliest stage, perfect to look at after the credits roll on the movie. A big highlight for me is a section at the end for unused concepts and ideas, from early ideas for the movie, to scenes that were cut from the script due to time. I love seeing the stuff that didn’t make it into the final movie like this, and so an entire chapter is great to see. A lot of unused designs for existing characters are found earlier on, but the end of the book has characters, places, and ideas that didn’t get used at all. These include a scene with penguins, places George was living, and an assassin poisonous frog, all of which fans will no doubt enjoy seeing. It’s something I want included in all releases from Pixar and Chronicle Books, as it adds a lot of interesting art. There isn’t a huge amount of reading to do in The Art of Hoppers , but what is included is engaging and adds some nice insights. Even in the introduction you learn that the movie was pitched as ‘Penguin Avatar’, with other notes highlighting trips the team went on. The majority of the text comes with the storyboards that speak on the scene being shown. This does make the book much more art focused overall, with most spreads having no paragraphs or notes to read at all. One thing that was very odd though, was that there are no titles or names given on the pages. Having not seen the movie as it isn’t out yet, it is strange to have pages of art dedicated to what are certainly key humans and animals, but not have their name included as seen is almost all other artbooks. I’m not sure why they would do this, as it feels wrong not knowing the names of the eclectic mix of characters. Credits Chronicle Books and Pixar have again done a very good job at crediting every image on the page. A nice short and sweet section of this review, as you can see who created each piece of art, along with the technique used as well. Use of Space Another welcome consistency from the series of artbooks is the page design, because there is no space wasted and the art is well organised. Layouts change from spread to spread to give the art the showcase it deserves, while double page spreads benefit from the binding that stops image loss in the centre fold. An excellent job from the team at the publisher yet again. Value This new release has an RRP of $50/ £40, which is standard pricing now in the artbook world. For the production quality and art found inside, Pixar fans should find this to be a fair price as there is a lot to enjoy and the book will last a long time if looked after. As always, and to stay consistent in my reviews, I checked prices on Amazon and found that the book has already been reduced on the week of its release. In the US is it $39.30, with the UK having it at £31.09, both of which being very good value for money. Prices on artbooks fluctuate a lot, but it does highlight that people that shop around can get a nice deal on this book. Verdict The Art of Hoppers is a wonderful showcase of the artwork that helped create the mind-hopping world of their latest movie, delivering a huge amount of artwork in a variety of styles that all capture the magic of Pixar. I really enjoyed my time with this book and can’t wait to revisit it after leaving the cinema. Collectors of the series and those that want more from Hoppers cannot go wrong in adding this volume of fantastic art to their shelf!  If interested and what to enjoy the book yourself, you can order The Art of Hoppers below; Buy Here  / Buy Here (UK) Tags; #ChronicleBooks #Pixar #Disney #Hoppers

February 11th 2026 *Update 11/02/2026 Since posting the story, conflicting details have been found on new listings, confirming placeholders are in place for the new book. Australian website Booktopia has a listing with a release date of July 28th 2026, conflicting with other retailers, lining up with reports the upcoming game has been delayed to fiscal year 2026/ 2027. Find that listing here . A new listing has also appeared on Blackwell's under ' The Art of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced ', matching the rumoured title for the game. Despite having different information, both are further confirmation that an artbook is indeed coming. Original story below. An early placeholder listing has been spotted today for an artbook based on the remaster (or remake) of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag , one that could hint at a release date for the unofficially announced game. The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was published by Titan Books in 2013, which covered the concept art for the original release from Ubisoft. Now though, it seems that there is an updated version coming for the long rumoured remaster for the game based on a listing on Amazon UK . The cover of 2013's The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag The Amazon listing seen below has a release date of March 24th 2026, which is less than 6 weeks away and maybe a hint at when the updated game is arriving. However, although it may be shadow dropped or given a very short wait time if revealed, there is also the chance that the date is simply a placeholder, and there are signs that indicate this. The first are that there is no cover art, no description, and the publisher is noted as 'TITAN', not 'Titan Books'. It wouldn't be the first time that a book is listed early with details that are later updated, so although it is entirely possible that the book and game could be coming very soon, it's not a guarantee. It's also worth noting that while Titan Books was the long time publisher of the Assassin's Creed artbooks, from Assassin' Creed III to Odyssey , Dark Horse took over for the last few books. These were for The Art of Assassin's Creed Valhalla , The Art of Assassin's Creed Mirage , and last year's The Art of Assassin's Creed Shadows . It could be that Titan are back in partnership with the developer for this title, but that could also depend on what the game actually is; a remaster, or a remake? This is also the last indication that the release and details are not final as the title ' Art/Assassins Creed Black Flag Remaster ' is certainly going to change. Previous reporting has indicated that the game is a remake, not a remaster, which would mean that this book will feature new artwork and therefore opens the door for Dark Horse to be the publisher of original material. Titan Books could still release a book for a remake though, but if the new version of Black Flag is indeed a remaster, there's also a chance it may be a reprint of the 2013 book. It's all up for speculation, but it is at least more confirmation that Ubisoft are working on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag title, one that is a fan favourite in the series. The original release of The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was filled with incredible artwork from the studio, which you can preview in the video below. Officially announced artbooks have listings that are changed and updated for games that have already been released, so while it is fun to speculate, we shouldn't jump the gun based on a page that is clearly filled with early placeholder information. Future updates on the book will be shared here and when an artbook does arrive, be sure to check in for a review! Tags; #AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag #AssassinsCreed #TitanBooks #Ubisoft

February 11th 2026 After being introduced in Archie Comics more than 80 years ago, Betty and Veronica are continuing their time in the limelight with a reprint of the 2012 artbook, The Art of Betty & Veronica . Spotted on the website of publisher Titan Books , the re-release of the book is set to hit shelves on September 22nd 2026 with an RRP of $39.99 in the US and £34.99 in the UK.

February 10th 2026 Titan Books is in the final stretch of The Infinity Saga series, their collection of reprints for the older Marvel Studios artbooks. The 19th entry of 22 books has now been listed online, this time focused on the concept art behind the blockbuster epic, Avengers: Infinity War . Marvel Studios' The Infinity Saga - Avengers: Infinity War - The Art of the Movie takes fans through the incredible concept art that was the start of the end for Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as the Infinity Saga as a whole. The 336-page hardcover book was spotted on the website of the publisher and has a release date of November 3rd 2026. The cover art depicting Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet can be seen below. Like previous books in the series, this is a resized version of the original from Marvel themselves, which in this case was released in 2018. It contains all of the original content, so those worried that it will be missing artwork need not worry, as everything remains the same, from the images to the text. The original book can be expensive on second hand markets too, making this the perfect way for fans that missed out before to add this to their collection. Inside is a collection of concept art for the characters, locations, keyframes, technology, and more of the movie, including unused designs that makes for an interesting peak behind the curtain. From the return of the Avengers team, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange, to the introduction of the Black Order, the artwork will give readers a lot to pore over. It doesn't stop there though, as a huge amount of art covers the key moments and locations of Infinity War , including the planet Titan and the battlefield of Wakanda. The original is filled to the brim with stunning artwork that will be faithfully reprinted in this new version. Details are also shared through interviews with the creatives and artists themselves, adding more value to this upcoming book. To get an idea of what to expect, check out a preview of a previous release, The Infinity Saga - Spider-Man: Homecoming - The Art of the Movie below Retailer listings for the book have not yet appeared online, but as the book was only added to the Titan Books website late yesterday, expect the book to be available to pre-order soon. It comes with an RRP of $50/ £35, a very reasonable price for the amount of art found here. This leaves just a few more books left to be listed in The Infinity Saga series, which will no doubt go into 2027 based on there being just three releases this year. Up next will be artbooks for Captain Marvel , Spider-Man: Far From Home , and finally, Avengers: Endgame . The series comes highly recommended for MCU fans, as not only do reprints make some of the books accessible after selling out, but they make quality improvements too. Although smaller in size and without a slipcase like before, the paper and binding are higher in quality, reducing image loss in the centre fold and correcting the overly dark print finish in places as well.

February 9thth 2026 Call of Duty is getting its first standalone artbook this year after the first game's release over 20 years ago, focusing on the hugely popular Zombies mode. However, fans will have to wait a little longer, as Call of Duty Zombies: The Art of Treyarch has been hit by a delay that pushes further back in the summer. The book is coming by way of Insight Editions and Titan Books, and was revealed in October 2025 with a June 16th publication date. Sadly, that has now changed, as retailer listings and the Titan Books website have now updated its release to August 11th 2026. The reason is unknown, as is normal for the artbook world, with both publishers silent about the delay as is also the norm. Those that collect artbooks will know very well that delays are common, affecting most titles, and that announcements are done with a bang in contrast to the silence of subsequent set backs. After 20 years of only having published artwork for the series in books found in collector's editions of the games, a couple of extra months to wait is very unlikely to deter fans from picking this up. The other details have not changed though, because it is still listed as a 256-page hardcover with an RRP of $50/ £40. It will feature the artwork of the Zombies mode from Treyarch, the developers behind the Black Ops game the mode is featured with, as well as insights from the team too. Zombies has grown and expanded since its debut in 2008, going from defending a decrepit house, to large maps and its own story, after multiple Call of Duty releases. It became quickly popular with players that enjoyed the intense chaos that it brought while playing with friends, offering an alternative gameplay experience to the rest of the series' multiplayer modes. The latest iteration was included in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in 2025. The trailer can be seen below that highlights how far Zombies has come. Future updates will be reported here and a copy will be joining the collection when it arrives on August 11th to be reviewed as well.
