Two limited edition box sets celebrating the works of Japanese video game designer Tetsuya Mizuguchi have been announced.
Sounds and Visions: Enhance at 10 and The Enhance Soundworks Collection Boxed Set are available to pre-order now ahead of their release next year.
Produced by Enhance, Lost in Cult, and Cook & Becker, Sounds and Visions: Enhance at 10 and The Enhance Soundworks Collection Boxed Set will be limited to 1010 and 505 copies respectively.
“Thank you to everyone who has followed us over the years,” Mizuguchi told VGC. “We managed to release multiple works in the last decade and we look forward to sharing our stories in the book including untold stories from the team who created these experiences. It will be a deeper dive into our history and who we are.
“When this book is complete, I believe there will be plenty of surprises for our fans… but not only that, I also think it will lead to many discoveries about ourselves as well.”
Shipping for The Enhance Soundworks Collection Boxed Set is planned for spring 2025, with The Sounds & Visions one expected to follow in the summer.
