Although artists for the art book were not specified, individual names of the artists might be seen inside the book. Among the art set to be seen in the special-release book will be conceptual framework for each character in the game. Like most art books, "The Art of Overwatch" will also feature imagery of the game's environment.

The official product description for the deluxe version read as follows:

Among the characters will be fan-favorite Tracer, Mercy, Widow Maker, McCree, Reaper, D.Va, and Genji. New characters like Orisia, Sombra, and Doomfist will also be part of the character list.
