20 years have passed since Double Fine Productions was formed, and 15 since it broke onto the gaming scene with the fondly-remembered Psychonauts. A lot has happened with the studio in the past couple of decades, and today Microsoft announced that a new book called 20 Double Fine Years will cover its extensive history ahead.
The book is a collaboration between Xbox, Double Fine, and Indie By Design, a publisher of similar books about the history of video games. In its press release, Microsoft revealed that it celebrate Double Fine’s 20th anniversary by exploring “the people, ideas, inspirations and goals that have resulted in everything from Psychonauts to Costume Quest, Brutal Legend to Broken Age and stacks more.”
Going into greater detail, 20 Double Fine Years will feature over 280 pages of content. This will include commentary from studio founder Tim Schafer, current and former staffers, and long-time collaborators that looks back on everything from Double Fine’s founding to its acquisition by Microsoft last year and beyond. Complementing this will be a selection of concept art and key visuals from across its library of titles, which Microsoft describes as “a celebration of some of gaming’s most charming and attractive art and visual design.”
The book is slated to come out in early 2021, which will make it a perfect companion for longtime fans when Psychonauts 2 launches next year. Microsoft said it will come in both a $50 Standard Edition and a pre-order-exclusive $65 Legend Edition that features a luxury fabric cover with a gold embossed logo. Pre-orders are now available and come with free shipping in the US and UK, and reduced costs in other regions.
20 Double Fine Years will release sometime in Q2 2021.
