By Darryn Bonthuys, Brendan Hesse

Fan-favorite indie platformer Shovel Knight got its first official art book back in 2017, but soon a new expanded hardcover edition is set to launch on May 26, 2026. The new Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works Hardcover Edition will include nearly 100 pages of new content covering the many Shovel Knight expansions and spin-offs that have launched in since the original book. Preorders for the Shovel Knight: Ultimate Design Works Hardcover Edition are available for $60 at Amazon. Publisher Udon Entertainment is also offering an exclusive version of the book through its online store that includes an exclusive Shovel Knight metal art card illustrated by Edwin Huang.

If you're a Shovel Knight fan, chances are you also enjoy the precision platforming of other stylish indies like Cuphead, which happens to have two art books available and discounted at Amazon. The first, The Art of Cuphead, covers the production of the base game, while The Art of Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course dives into the game's DLC expansion.

There are also several new video game art books set to launch next year, including the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: Material Ultimania on July 14, which will offer fans a look into the visual design of the second entry in the Final Fantasy Remake trilogy. Final Fantasy fans can also score a massive deal right now on The Sky: The Art of Final Fantasy Box Set. This originally launched for $200, but Amazon has discounted it to $91.34. This box set of books celebrates the art of legendary designer and illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, featuring three hardcover volumes alongside an art print, postcards, and more.
