New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Now Arriving In 2027

Dark Horse Comics and Nintendo have announced a significant delay for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Secrets of the Zonai art book. Originally scheduled to release in October 2026, the publication has been postponed to 2027.

The art book is part of Dark Horse Comics’ ongoing collaboration with Nintendo, continuing a partnership focused on officially licensed art books for major Nintendo franchises. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which released on Nintendo Switch in May 2023, has been one of Nintendo’s most critically acclaimed titles, making an official art book a highly anticipated release for fans looking for behind-the-scenes insights into the game’s artistic development.

While the specific reasons for the delay have not been detailed in the announcement, such postponements are not uncommon in the publishing industry due to production, printing, distribution, or other manufacturing considerations. Fans of the franchise who have been anticipating this official collection will need to adjust their expectations accordingly.
