Evolve, the highly anticipated FPS/DLC-platform, is coming out next month on major consoles. Also coming out at around the same time to a coffee table near you is the Art of Evolve, a new collection of sketches and artwork from Insight Editions.
Soooo...Why Haven't You Backed Strafe On Kickstarter Yet?
You might say that this new book tracks the many ways in which Evolve...evolved. The book will feature 192 pages of never-before-seen sketches and developmental art of monsters, hunters and game concepts, tracking their progress from idea to (extremely large) reality.
Per the official press release, "The Art of Evolve is packed with hundreds of sketches, character illustrations, environment art, and more, along with insightful commentary from key artists and developers, providing a unique glimpse into the video game development process."
The Official Art Of Total War Book Now On Sale
I like to think that we can all put aside our feelings on pre-order/pre-purchase/DLC and remember that no matter how it is being sold, there is a team of dedicated artists creating Evolve. Talented men and women who really care and who, by all accounts, have created a pretty great game - and certainly a very gorgeous looking one.
Besides, some of us are not blessed with a next gen console as of this time, having a book stuffed to the gills with art and screenshots may be the closest we get to the game itself!
The Art of Evolve will be out on February 10 and will feature an introduction by Phil Robb and Chris Ashton, Turtle Rock's co-founders. Fans can pick it up for the expected price of $39.99. Evolve the game is out the same day for PC, Xbox One and PS4.
