The Art of XCOM 2 Book On Sale Now

For each video game that is made, there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of pieces of concept art and touchstone imagery that never get seen by the public. The art that was created during the development of XCOM 2 is so good, we couldn’t let it suffer the unseen fate that has befallen so much concept art before it - and so we’ve asked Insight Editions to compile it all into one massive tome.

The Art of XCOM 2 - now available for pre-order - features images from every phase of development, from initial sketches right on down to paintings of fully-detailed environments. You can see early versions of enemy units, XCOM classes and even characters vital to the narrative arc of XCOM 2. Beyond the illustrations in The Art of XCOM 2, you also get first-hand accounts and insights from key members of the team. Follow the creative process of artists and developers that worked on the game.

In the meantime, here are a couple sample images
