Time for some Light Reading.
Two new Overwatch books are on the way from Dark Horse and Blizzard Entertainment.
The first is The Art of Overwatch, a 9”x12” hardcover book that shows off never-before-seen art along with commentary from the game’s development team. It will retail for $49.99. Similar treatment was given to World of Warcraft in the previously released World of Warcraft: Chronicle hardcover art books.
There will also be a limited edition (predictably titled The Art of Overwatch Limited Edition) that is the same book but comes packaged in a clamshell box with magnetic clasps and includes an acetate slipcover designed after Overwatch covergirl Tracer. It also comes with two portfolios, one featuring a portrait print and the other two landscape prints. You can see the prints in the slideshow gallery below except for one that’s being kept a surprise until release. The limited edition will run you $100.
Finally, there’s Overwatch: Anthology, Volume 1, a 140-page hardcover reprinting of the first 12 issues of the Overwatch digital comic from creators like Matt Burns, Robert Brooks, Micky Neilson, Nesskain, Bengal and more. The comics reveal character backstory and offer insight on the cast’s many relationships and rivalries. This one will cost $19.99.
The Art of Overwatch and The Art of Overwatch Limited Edition goes on sale October 24, 2017, and Overwatch: Anthology Volume 1 goes on sale October 10, 2017. Starting today they are available for preorder on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, on TFAW.com, or on DarkHorse.com.
