WIZARDS OF THE COAST AND VIZ MEDIA ANNOUNCE THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING AMONKHET
Seattle, WA and San Francisco, CA, November 2, 2016 Wizards of the Coast and VIZ Media have jointly announced plans to expand THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING collection with THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING AMONKHET, scheduled for release in July 2017.
The fourth and latest release in the ongoing series of impressive hardcover editions featuring artwork from Magic: The Gathering will present scores of full-color illustrations from an array of talented artists, including Cliff Childs, Winona Wilson, Christine Choi and Adam Paquette. Additional insights and lore on the dangerous and beautiful world of Amonkhet are provided by bestselling author and Magic: The Gathering Senior Game Designer, James Wyatt. Amonkhet is the latest expansion game for Magic: The Gathering and is set for retail release by Wizards of the Coast in April of 2017.
Throughout its 23-year history, Magic: The Gathering has visited many richly imaginative worlds through card sets and stories. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Magic: The Gathering has more than 20 million fans, is played in more than 70 countries, and is available in 11 languages. Magic: The Gathering has won numerous notable awards, including a Mensa Award and multiple Origins Awards, the Hobby Game industry's annual top award.
In THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING AMONKHET, the Second Sun creeps across the sky, growing ever closer to the horns of the God-Pharaoh. These pages, lavishly illustrated with the award-winning art of Magic: The Gathering , will introduce readers to the people of Amonkhet, whose life is a series of trials meant to prepare them for the great God-Pharaoh's return. The glorious hope and desolate despair of Amonkhet awaits readers as the final hours draw near!
THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING AMONKHET reveals a world of harsh beauty and incredible contrast. While withering sandstorms rip across barren and treacherous deserts, a thriving city-state worships the God-Pharaoh who protects their verdant oasis, says Elaine Chase, Senior Director of Global Brand Strategy and Marketing for Magic: The Gathering. Of course, beneath this utopian surface lies a darker truth, and James Wyatt guides fans through the lore of Amonkhet masterfully.
The vibrant yet deadly world of Amonkhet comes to life in vivid illustrations, and we invite players and fans of fantasy art to celebrate their love of Magic: The Gathering with this beautifully detailed and comprehensive new release, says Beth Kawasaki, Senior Editorial Director, VIZ Media. Explore the desert oasis of this sun-drenched plane ruled by the infamous Elder Dragon, Nicol Bolas, and savor all of the strange and wondrous inhabitants of this unique world.
THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING AMONKHET joins THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING: KALADESH (scheduled for January 2017 release) and THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING: INNISTRAD and THE ART OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING: ZENDIKAR, which are available now from VIZ Media. Each contains specially curated collections of illustrations from Wizards of the Coast's popular strategy card game, Magic: The Gathering.
