Today, Remedy Entertainment and FuturePress have revealed a fresh run of the highly-prized The Art and Making of Control book. The second reprint is part of the publishing company's twenty-fifth anniversary, which sees them return to beloved works!
The collection spans an impressive 384 pages and measures 11" x 8.5", so it's a sizable beast! The hardback book is paired with an impressive textured slipcase and three art cards. The pages are bound with thread-sewn binding for maximum page view and durability, a huge plus for fellow bookreaders who don't crack the spine. Despite the high quality and page count, the book is much more affordable than similar art publications, at $59.99 / £ 49.99 / €54.99, depending on your territory, and you definitely get your money's worth. So far, they only ship to selected European countries and the US, but hopes to expand to more shipping regions in the future.
In the reveal post on the publisher's website, Future Press describes the book as being "a truly unique, limited edition companion book for one of the most outstanding games of recent times. Remedy’s world-class art direction is given the treatment it deserves—concept art, sketches and renders are beautifully framed across almost 400 pages of in-depth, behind the scenes content. Take a journey through the game design, VFX work, narrative design, creative direction, costume design and world building that have collectively brought Control and its expansions to life."
"Happy 25th anniversary to our friends at Future Press!" Remedy writes on their social media pages, "We know how much our community has been asking for this book to come back - we're so glad that @FuturePress are able to put it back in print for everyone. Supplies are limited, so don't hesitate!"
