It got posted here. You can see some cat profiles there. I'm disappointed that it seems that much of the cover art got reused.

Ooh, new Sandstorm art! She looks so beautiful! And I didn't expect Pinestar to look so cute! I really like the interior, too. I'm really not surprised they reused cover art, though.

Too bad about a lot of the new SE covers being used for the cats (that have SEs and are in the Guide), it's really not that surprising though... I did see Sandstorm in there with some really lovely new art <3 Edit: These are the ones I "caught" (kept the video running so the play button was not visible on the image)! The cover (which was already revealed) The inside (revealing some more that are not shown in the trailer) Pinestar (reused from his novella cover but also something added on in terms of background) Sandstorm (new art that is just beautiful in my opinion) Ivypool (old art from the reprinted Fading Echoes cover) Dovewing (no artwork despite her being on The Fourth Apprentice reprint) Tallstar (reused art of his reprinted SE cover) Sharpclaw (with Hawkwing as a picture and name right beside his page which initially made me think it was a mistake) Thunderstar (reused art from the reprinted cover of Thunder Rising) Sol (old art from the reprinted cover of Eclipse) Really hope they somehow fix Hawkwing being shown on his father Sharpclaw's page before release but I doubt it. Might crop the screenshots again to only include the book content without the video background.

I’m just curious to see what new information they bring to the table. It’s nice to see modern SkyClan showing up, and the overall design is very clean. At the very least, we won’t have to see the super close-up faces from the modern TNP covers, hopefully.

I completely called the reuse of cover art back in January lol. wcrpforums.com/thread/90637/ultimate-guide-20th-anniversary-editionStill really disappointed. Hard pass for me, I think (but I was already on the fence about purchasing it anyway). I know the other guide had reused art, but at least that art was from one guide to another and not just regular cover art.

Loving the new art we got! It doesn't surprise about the reused art- the original one had some reused art as well. I am very glad we are getting official at of new characters so that their website pages don't look so barren. Speaking of which, I am glad that they are adding the little infoboxes from the website- it really adds to that aesthetic the series is going for.
But no trailer can come close to the original trailer, it slaps.

Okay, so I extracted the frames in case anyone needed a slowed down version and here's who the trailer showed: Pinestar Sandstorm Ivypool Briarlight Alderheart Raggedstar Brokenstar Dovewing Tallstar Feathertail Leafstar Sharpclaw Hawkwing Thunderstar Sol Teller of the Pointed Stones
It also looks like the guide will be including Littlecloud, Shadowsight, and Mistystar as well. And I recognized a few cats on the front flap, like new art for Scourge, Rock, and Ravenpaw and Barley.

The video makes it look like they don't though (or maybe I just missed it). And the page compositon of Sharpclaw makes it very much look as if Hawkwing's art is used on it instead (although I just noticed that it does say Hawkwing underneath that).

𝕱𝖑𝖚𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖋𝖆𝖑𝖑 Made a post about this already, but here's a list of cats I was able to see after extracting the video frame-by-frame. Pinestar Sandstorm Ivypool Briarlight Alderheart Raggedstar Brokenstar Dovewing Tallstar Feathertail Leafstar Sharpclaw Hawkwing Thunderstar Sol Teller of the Pointed Stones
Only the last paragraphs are shown, but looks like Mistystar and Littlecloud will be included again and Shadowsight will be included as well. Interestingly enough, Feathertail has brand new art!

Awesome that you were able to do that! I just viewed the video at normal speed and took my screenshots that way. Excited to see that new Feathertail art! Shadowsight will probably just get his floating head image from the Lost Stars cover although I would love to see new art for him as well...

Oh wow, I love how ominous that artwork for her looks (due to the background and lighting)! I'm really looking forward to using that as a pfp at some point. Well then, guess I'll be getting my hopes up for some new Shadowsight art after all. Thanks for sharing!

Wait, guys, if you look at Hawkwing’s picture, you can see the green text box that says “Hawkwing” in it. Why they’d put it right next to Sharpclaw’s entry, though, is beyond me.
Edit: I say this because I was under the impression that they used Hawkwing’s photo to substitute a potential Sharpclaw one. Slick as the format it, readability is proving difficult.

Disappointed but not surprised that they're reusing most of the art. That said, I see we're getting some more info on characters old and new, but I'm really hoping we're getting more of that. There's been a ton of important characters who need an entry.

Sharpclaw's picture is on the other side of his description. This happens all the time with character guides (picture first, then description, and sometimes that description will cover a two-sided page). It's really nothing to worry about.

That’s fair, it may take a bit to get used to In that case, I'd suggest reading the last two character guides, Cats of the Clans and the previous edition of TUG. It follows the same format. No different from reading any other book, it's just that there's illustrations this time.

welp, the reused artwork is disappointing, but I LOVE what we've seen of the new artwork. Sandstorm and Feathertail are GORGEOUS and I like the design they're going with for the character profiles. And at least reused artwork means that my girl Star Flower's chances of getting a profile are that much higher since they can just use her art from the cover of The Blazing Star lol.
