This is why subscription services will struggle, most people don't need them. Those that do play a lot of games may still choose to buy them individually too.
Game Pass numbers only grew by 1 million in over a year to 35M, making it unsustainable.

No problem! It's hard to keep track of what's coming but any post helps with that, even my articles about delays are often a way for people to discover what's on the way.
I'm hoping it comes soon, even if I've not played the game yet, I love the art style!

Not sure when my copy will be arriving, I always seem to have my pre-orders met with stock not arriving this time of year 😅
Looking forward to it though as the previous artbooks for the series were great!

Go see it if you haven't already!

They're great and well worth adding to the shelf if you can grab them. Dark Horse has done some awesome stuff this year and still have a bunch coming.
It will be interesting to see if my favourites of the year change with another 20+ books on the way!
