The Art of God of War

Product Information

Deluxe edition includes deluxe treatments like a faux leather clamshell case and cover and a gallery-quality lithograph in a displayable portfolio. God of War is a third person action-adventure video game developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The end effect is an outstanding action-adventure video game that peaks at both the action AND the adventure parts. The game is a showcase for current-generation game animation, texturing, and audio design, and profits from a strong art direction that focuses on story as well as on combat, on strong character development as well as on tight combos.

You'll get to see different versions of Kratos, his armor and amazingly detailed hand-sculpted maquettes (that I initially had mistaken for 3D renders). Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.It's one thing to read about Norse gods and their stories, but it's something else entirely to experience the stories visually, to see characters come to life, even if the stories are stretched far from the original source. The stunning visuals are undoubtably one of the biggest highlights of the game, and totally deserves a splendid art book to showcase all the amazing concept art, which this volume delivers in spades. Living as a man, outside the shadow of the gods, he seeks solitude in the unfamiliar lands of Norse mythology. This is a document unlike any other that sets readers on an exhaustive behind-the-scenes journey to witness the creation of an epic of tremendous scale. This is a tome unlike any other, including an expanse of gorgeous art and in-depth interviews that set readers on an exhaustive behind-the-scenes journey to witness the creation of an epic of tremendous scale.

Just like the art book for the first game, this volume for Ragnarok delves into the absolutely incredible concept art created during pre-production, with tons of really jaw-dropping environment, character, creature, weapons and prop designs. Tonally, the game shifts from gentle, funny, and often heartfelt family bonding moments to the brutal fighting the God of War series is known for. These prints are aimed at fans and collectors that are looking for something that goes beyond an ordinary God of War poster or litho. The God of War fine art print collection celebrates the exquisite art and design of this award-winning video game.

This passionately assembled tome details a story of parenthood, destiny, and adventure in the voices of the team that brought it to life.

The Deluxe Edition features a unique, faux-leather clamshell case and an art portfolio containing two lithograph prints of Kratos and Atreus. While every set and character has been designed with meticulous, loving detail and are all equally stunning, some of my personal favorites include Sindri’s House, the lush tropical jungles of Vanaheim and the character designs for Surtr. As with Dark Horse's previous art books, The Art of God of War Ragnarok features several hundred pages of concept art, developer commentary and other behind-the-scenes material for the game.
