Udon Entertainment, a publisher of translated and original artbooks (and other things including graphic novels and comic books) have announced the release date of “Street Fighter x Tekken: Artworks” as August 2012. As I am not that big a fan of the game to be able to describe everything about the series in detail, here is an official blurb from the company from the announcement:
Based on the hit 2012 fighting game, Street Fighter X Tekken: Artworks collects 192 pages of amazing insight into the game! Inside you’ll find character artwork, rough sketches, and costume designs, with creator commentary on almost every page! This art book is filled to the brim with amazing illustrations and sketches by the greatest Street Fighter and Tekken artists, including Shinkiro, Kinu Nishimura, Akiman, and more! Walk through all of the trailers, character intros and endings, and stage designs with additional art and commentary! Street Fighter X Tekken: Artworks is an amazing behind-the-scenes look at the title for fans and professionals alike!
In addition to all of the fantastic art, Street Fighter X Tekken: Artworks also features extensive interviews with the creators and designers of the Street Fighter X Tekken game! Get the dirt on designing and illustrating a best-selling video game from everyone on the development team, including Polygon Pictures (the visual designers for Street Fighter® IV and Street Fighter X Tekken), DIMPS (the gameplay balancers and testers), Street Fighter series illustrator Akiman, and the Tekken Team at Bandai Namco Games
