Dark Horse’s artbook “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” will be released at the same time as the game

Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on November 15th, featuring a sprawling world to explore and two playable characters to master. If you’ve been a long-time Assassin’s Creed fan, consider combining your pre-order with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Shadows art book, which launches just days after the video game on November 19th. The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows features over 250 pages of images and commentary and should make a cool companion to the game. It’s pretty rare for an art book for a video game to be released at the same time as the game. The hardback book is available in two formats – standard or deluxe – and both are available to pre-order now ahead of their release this holiday season.

The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows

$50

This hardcover art book is 256 pages long and is published by Dark Horse Books. The company has a long history of producing high-quality collectibles, and The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows should be no exception. The team at Ubisoft worked with Dark Horse Books to “put together an art book in the tradition of the globe-spanning Brotherhood, designed to satisfy and inspire shinobi assassins and samurai of all generations.” In other words, this is meant to be a comprehensive book that touches on every major aspect of the game. If you pre-order now, you’ll get the lowest price offered between the time you place your order and release – you won’t be charged until Amazon ships your book.

The Art of Assassin’s Creed Shadows (Deluxe Edition)

95 US dollars (100)

The Deluxe Edition is slightly cheaper before release and is a nice improvement over the Standard Edition. This version is also 256 pages, but comes with exclusive packaging and additional accessories, such as a decorative slipcase and a portfolio with a gallery-quality print. Just like the Standard Edition, you’ll pay the lowest price Amazon offers until release when your order ships.
