SEGA announced that Sonic is getting a special anniversary art book! Not unlike anniversary book that released in 2011 to celebrate the Blue Blur’s 20th Anniversary, this new art-book will cover the series up to this point.
“We’re very excited to be working with SEGA on this official art book for one of video gaming’s most iconic characters. Sonic is such a great character with such a vibrantly designed world. Everyone that has seen our fine art prints and books knows that Cook & Becker is always a 100% committed to bring an outstanding level of quality to everything we work on. And with the Sonic the Hedgehog art book we want to raise the bar for coffee table art books on video games and showcase everything that is great about Sonic.” –Maarten Brands, C&B Founder
To celebrate his silver anniversary, SEGA and art dealership Cook & Becker will be releasing a commemorative art book. The book will encompass the expansive history of the franchise and include a variety of design sketches, official character illustrations, in-game art, pixel art, rare promotional art and game box art, all on top of never-before-seen art and interviews with key artists and designers who worked on the franchise over the years.
The Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary art book will launch in early 2017, with preorders opening sometime over the next two months. SEGA and Cook & Becker previously collaborated with an official print by Paul Veer.
