A few days ago, North American artbook publisher Udon Entertainment announced their plans to publish a hardcover version of Breath of Fire: Official Complete Works. This, it turns out, was not an isolated hardcover book announcement. Udon Entertainment has this evening confirmed that Street Fighter: Swimsuit Special Collection will be available for purchase from 23 June 2020 via select digital and physical stores.
Udon Entertainment is no stranger to Capcom’s Street Fighter franchise, with an extensive line-up of pin-up specials, artbooks and comics available for purchase. Out of all IPs they publish, Street Fighter would arguably be the biggest, with other brands in their library including Persona, Mega Man, Bayonetta, Dark Souls, Disgaea and many more.
Street Fighter: Swimsuit Special Collection will capture artwork of the many fighters taking a break from their brawls, and taking some R&R time at beaches, pools, volleyball courts and more. In addition to brand new cover artwork from Rob ‘Robaato’ Porter, this book features art from over 60 artists around the world. As you can see from some of the sample pages above, it also features rough concepts from various stages of the design process.
Coming in at 136 pages in length and a price of $39.99 USD, Street Fighter: Swimsuit Special Collection will be available exclusively in its hardcover format from 23 June 2020 through selected digital and physical artbook retailers. If you want to guarantee your copy, pre-orders are open via Amazon at a reduced price of $29.18 USD.
