The Art of The Forever Winter

A full-color hardcover volume collecting art and commentary from the brutally unforgiving and darkly beautiful survival shooter The Forever Winter!

Step into a war-torn post-apocalyptic future where Scavengers must loot weapons and supplies from the dead to survive—all beneath the shadows of terrifying gargantuan war machines locked in never-ending conflict.

This oversized art book is bursting with behind-the-scenes concept art and renders created for the highly anticipated tactical shooter, all accompanied by intimate artists’ commentary. The development of the atomically devasted, chilling sci-fi world from Fun Dog Studios is chronicled in glorious detail through faction lore, intricate level maps, weapon and gear schematics, storyboards, and more.

The Art of The Forever Winter is a grisly and gorgeous love letter to its genre, and is an invaluable addition to any scavenger’s stash!
