Pretty sure the actual contents of this article already got shared on here a while back via other website info (mainly about what would be in the new guide such as updated cat profiles, the two old leadership ceremony stories of Tigerstar and Bramblestar as well as the new StarClan story about Firestar and Graystripe and so on). Weirdly enough, now it again states October 10th to be the release date and not October 31st...

Just out of curiosity I bought the old guide only because the original illustrator died and I wanted his art. But is the upgraded book worth it? I've already pre ordered so I know I'd have the new artwork but all the entries are having new info right?

Unfortunately, from the preview on the Warrior Cats instagram, it looks like many of the entries will be copied and pasted from the original with very little, if any, changes at all. I am hoping there will some original new entries added.

I am hoping there will some original new entries added. I mean, yeah that does kinda suck but is not really that surprising since other older guides also reused art from previous entries (although not cover art, I think). As for new character entries, apparently Shadowsight will be in it (and thus presumably Rootspring and Bristlefrost too, as well as other protagonists and characters from arcs that came out after the original guides). It looks like the founders from DotC are also getting pages (I saw Shadowstar's art in the preview from the reprinted The First Battle cover, for example). And in regards to new art, Sandstorm and Feathertail have some since they were never drawn by Owen Richardson (the illustrator) before on any covers as well as others (although Raggedstar seems to just be a traced/copied and flipped version of Graystripe from his SE cover). I'm sure there are at least a few others as well (and reckon I saw new art for Rock and some more cats on the inside cover of the guide that was shown in the trailer).

I've already pre ordered so I know I'd have the new artwork but all the entries are having new info right? We technically don't know yet but I'm pretty sure that the pages of cats that were already in the old guide will indeed be updated with info from the newer arcs. There is some old content being reused as well though (the leadership ceremony stories of Tigerstar ad Bramblestar from the old guide and a lot of the reprinted cover art being used for the cat profiles) but also new content (a StarClan perspective story featuring Firestar and Graystripe as well as some characters getting art who have never gotten any before by Owen Richardson such as Sandstorm, Feathertail and Raggedstar for example).

Weird, my bookstore still has the listed date for October 31st. Perhaps it's an error on the website...? Seems odd that they would change the release date this close to the actual one.

It's likely the entries malfunctioned. if not it could be market condition, such as a lack of competition which could promote the book.

I will admit I am impressed by how gorgeous the art for Sandstorm and Feathertail is!
