COP BASTARD Digital Compendium DLC: Artbook and Guide Details
A $2.69 artbook and guide DLC with 50-plus pages.
The COP BASTARD Digital Compendium is a $2.69 DLC that bundles a 50-plus page digital artbook and game guide, released alongside the base game on October 29, 2026. It is a companion piece for fans of the game's noir visual style, not a gameplay requirement.
What is inside
The DLC packages:
- A 50-plus page artbook. Concept art and visual development from the game's 1990s Osaka setting.
- A game guide. Reference material for the campaign and its systems.
- Concept previews. A look at the art direction behind detective Katashi and the yakuza underworld.
Is it worth $2.69?
If the comic-panel storytelling and noir art direction are part of why you want the game, the price is hard to argue with. If you only want the shooter, skip it: nothing in the compendium changes gameplay, and the base game is complete without it.
How it relates to the base game
The compendium is sold separately on both Steam and GOG. There is no bundle tier forcing you to buy it, which keeps the base price at $11.69 clean.
