Udon bringing back Darkstalkers art book with hardcover edition

Publisher Udon is bringing its Darkstalkers art book back from the dead to celebrate the Capcom fighting game’s 25th anniversary.

Rising

It’s been a while since we’ve seen this one. Udon’s Darkstalkers art book is a complete art resource for the famed Capcom fighter, loaded up with “artwork and history!”

It’s been out of print for a good ten years according to the company, but now it’s on the way back to retail. The reason, is that it’s Darkstalkers 25th anniversary, as hard as that might be for some to believe (cough).

The new edition won’t be exactly the same as the previously available one however. This new version will be done in hardcover format, giving it a little formal bump for the big event.
