The Art of Splatoon will be an English adaptation of the Japanese book which released exclusively in that country last year, making it the first time that concept art for the game will be available in a translated format.

The book is set to be 320 pages long, will include both 2D and 3D illustrations from the game, and is due to launch on June 13th, 2017.

Within, you’ll find “illustrations of your favorite characters, maps, concept art, weapon and gear design, storyboards, sketches, hand-drawn comics” and more, which all acted as inspiration for the game itself.

You can pre-order the book for $39.99 on Amazon right now, but no word yet on which stores will be selling it directly.

It might feel like a long wait till that June release date, but at least you can check out the front cover of the book below.
