Dynamite To Produce A Tekken Hardcover Art Book Retrospective

Published Wed, 04 Oct 2017 10:59:01 -0500

Dynamite is adding to their Video Game Icons line as their third New York Comic Con announcement of the day is a partnership with Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc to produce a hardcover retrospective art book for Tekken.

Since its original release in 1994, Tekken — one of the first games at the time to incorporate 3D animation — garnered a worldwide following and spawned multiple sequels and spin-offs. Structured around the fictional King of Iron Fist Tournament as sponsored by the Mishima Zaibatsu corporation, Tekken tells the story of the Mishima ancestral curse, pitting the series protagonist Jin Kazama against members of his villainous lineage, while incorporating the colorful stories and aspirations of a wide cast of additional fighters.

The new retrospective from Dynamite Entertainment will feature in-depth interviews and exclusive, behind-the-scenes looks into the making of the games, as well as the iconic art, design, and imagery from across the Tekken universe. Oversized and hundreds of pages in length, printed on high-quality glossy paper to perfectly capture the vibrant colors of high-res photographs and scans, this commemorative collectible makes the perfect coffee table book or addition to a hardcore gamer's bookshelves.

Dynamite's Tekken art book retrospective will be available at major bookstore chains, online booksellers, and independent bookstores in 2018.
