Many video game publishers have released books that show how the visuals of various video games were formed, and Amazon has several of them on sale. The art book for Assassin's Creed: Shadows shows just how Ubisoft brought feudal Japan to life for this game, The Art and Making of Arcane is a vibrant look behind the scenes of the critically acclaimed League of Legends animated series, and the Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-Speedia covers decades of games featuring the Sega Icon. JRPG games have some of the best art teams around, and you can pick up books dedicated to Bravely Default II and Octopath Traveler. We'd also recommend the God of War: 20th Anniversary Retrospective for a deluxe look at the popular action franchise, told through exclusive interviews with the creative teams behind the games.
