Written by The cover art for the new, highly anticipated console video game titled “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction” has been revealed!
Illustrated by the talented artist Freddie Williams II, the original pencil artwork for this exciting new video game art was designed on 22 x 17 inch paper (in the hopes that the finished artwork would not only be used on the physical game packaging, but blown up to poster size as well.)
Coming from Bitmap Bureau and Limited Run Games, “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Dragon Pearl of Destruction” is scheduled to be released sometime in 2026 and be available on PS5, Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
We’ll see you next time!
I gotta be honest I don’t think that style particularly works for the characters in the comics much less as a video game cover. They look strung out! And it’d be an idea to have focused on He-Man (or even Skeletor) alone or go all-in and have the characters fighting.
If nothing else, unless they change it, the characters are almost all squeezed into the lower half of a small disc box, though I know that’s less of a consideration these days.
I have had many discussions on this topic. There is a consensus that Freddie William’s art style does not mesh well with MotU. Somehow he still gets the work.
Yeah, a snarling monster doesn’t strictly do Beastman justice never mind Trap Jaw here. Evil-Lyn has always been more composed than what we see here too. And so on. My guess is it’s what’s somebody decided on as opposed to what the characters need.
LMAO
Goodness gracious! Freddie has done it again! No offence, but can’t we just see what’s going on? We’re in a bind because it looks like he’s going to stick around for the long haul. Leaving his marks pretty much anywhere he can.
Why didn’t they ask Francisco Etchart? This game is very Filmationlike and the art Francisco does for the Cartoon Collection is perfect.
Fully agree, the cover art is wildly different to the actual game art. It’s conveying a whole other attitude.
I like the art. Freddie is one of my favorite Turtles artists so I smile whenever he pops up.
I can’t really play video games much anymore because of arthritic hands, but I can’t miss this one!❤️I would love a new Masters Of The Universe game with my favourite character Evil-Lyn, Sorceress Of Night & Evil Warrior Goddess!❤️
