Ubisoft's Skull and Bones is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated new games of 2022, and now pirate fanatics have even more to look forward to at the end of the year. Dark Horse Books is following up the game's release with a new hardcover called The Art of Skull and Bones.
Like all of Dark Horse's video game art books, The Art of Skull of Bones features a mix of concept art, creator interviews and other behind-the-scenes material that sheds light on the making of the game. Considering how long Skull and Bones has been in development - and how often it's been delayed - that should make for some very interesting reading.
The Art of Skull and Bones will also devote special attention to the many colorful characters and ships that make up this open-world pirate adventure.
“The team did a phenomenal job at creating the world of Skull and Bones - filled with diverse regions, ships and characters," said art director Kobe Sek in Dark Horse's press release. "We are proud to be able to showcase a glimpse of never-before-seen concept art of our game. We hope you’ll enjoy discovering the unique setting inspired by the Indian Ocean and immersing yourself in the pirate fantasy of Skull and Bones!”
The Art of Skull and Bones is priced at $49.99 and is slated for release on December 20 in bookstores and online retailers and December 21 in comic shops.
After many delays, Ubisoft has now revealed a November 8 release date for the game. Check out everything you need to know about Skull and Bones including gameplay details and more here.
