See how Kratos became ‘grounded’ in The Art of God of War

God of War is a very good game — and it’s also very good looking. If you can’t get enough of the game’s landscapes and character design, you’re in luck. The Art of God of War will hit shelves just next week, full of behind-the-scenes looks at concept art and preliminary sculptures for the game, with plenty of commentary from the folks at Santa Monica Studio.

And, courtesy of Dark Horse Books, you can check out seven preview pages of the volume below. The 224-page hardcover edition will be released on April 24, and retail for $39.99.
