Book Preview: The Art of God of War: Ascension
The review for this book is now up.
The Art of God of War: Ascension is one of the epic artbooks in 2013. Actually most video game art books are pretty good. Just that the sheer volume of this one is quite incredible. Not unexpected from a game like The God of War: Ascension. Even the previous The Art of God of War III is already 272 pages.
The book itself is a 400-page hardcover.
It has a nice gold trim black leather cover with dust jacket. It features concept art of the characters and environment, all printed large and high resolution. You get to see the character designs, their 3D models textured as well as the Zbrush sculpted models. Then there are the environment art, basically a breathtaking world built for the gods.
Publisher Blue Canvas is shipping the book in August. It retails for US$69.99. International shipping is quite expensive.
Pre-order yours on their online store. The first 1000 copies are signed.
On Amazon, they will be available in September 2013.
I'll provide a more in depth review when I get my hands on one.
Below are some photos and preview pages.

Hello, are you sure, that Amazon will sell this book in September? I spoke with their customer service and they didn't tell me anything about that.

Some of the books will be sold on Amazon after the pre-orders. They are not listed there yet.
Hello, again. As you can see
Hello, again. As you can see - there is a page of that book at amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Art-God-War-Ascension/dp/098590223X/ref=sr_1_2?s…). Their customer service told me, that they sold this book past months, but i think, that this is a mistake, because publisher's site is informind about launching this book this August. I can't order it from bluecanvas.com, because my country is out of the list. Last hope is Amazon. Are you really sure, that Amazon will sell it or i need to search for another offers?

Bluecanvas said they will list it on Amazon on a later date.
You should also contact Bluecanvas regarding the country that's missing from the list.

Any idea on the date the pre order will ship? I know they said August but gave no tracking # and my Post Office is awesome at not bring my package to my door and 'forgetting' to leave a slip for pick up.
