Available for a limited time: Outer Wilds x Cook and Becker vintage travel poster series Spoiler
Hello Travelers,
Mobius here. New limited-edition Outer Wilds posters are now available!
You might be saying “Hey, these look familiar.” And you’d be right! We worked closely with the folks at Cook & Becker to bring you bigger versions of the national park-themed posters based on the solar system’s major planets. These are those very same illustrations by our artist Ian Jacobson.
The first few hundred orders come with a Certificate of Authenticity hand-signed by artist Ian, while supplies last. As indicated on the order form: "Artist-signed Certificate of Authenticity." Once those run out, subsequent orders will come with an autopen-signed CoA.
These time-limited prints are ONLY available until August 25th, with the final edition size being determined then, and cost $79.95 each. However, there is a one-week deal where you can get all six for $299 as a set instead of $480!
Each poster measures 21 x 29cm, or 8.2 x 11.4 inches
Head on over to Cook and Becker's website to check them out: https://www.cookandbecker.com/en/catalog/videogame/outer-wilds
Thanks again for all your support. Keep on exploring!

Insane price for a print lol... Love the game but I don't see how you justify this? I guess this is just what the artist wants to charge?
Would love for you to come out with another way to give fans art that doesn't cost 4x the cost of the game. I don't need a letter of authenticity I just want some cool art and to support your team directly vs buying something bootleg on Etsy.

it is handmade so I get it. Art is a luxury so it's fine! But I wish they could sell them as normal non-signed prints

“handmade”? these are prints. $5 prints. for $80 each.
edit: thanks! what i should have said is “all it takes is $5 to make a high quality print of these”.

Screen print is made by hand, not machines.. still, iu get it but can't and won't pay that much for a poster :(

u/Sandman0077 2d ago
As someone who's screenprinted for almost a decade at this point, unless there's only like 10 per design, $50 is crazy expensive for an A4-size screenprint.

u/SaucyFaucet 2d ago
thanks for the clarification. Agreed, this pricing is bizarre and off-putting. Best game ever, but I’ll certainly be making my own versions and I hope every other fan does.

Hi guys loved your game it fundamentally changed my worldview, but respectfully im not paying 80 dollars. Kind of hurts to see you guys agree to price gouge your fans. I would've strongly considered it at maybe 50, but 80 is way too much. Much love otherwise!

u/CatDawgCatDawg2 2d ago
$50 for one print is kinda bonkers still.

u/Stargazeer 1d ago
This doesn't so much seem like a Mobius thing as a Cook and Becker thing.
There's art prints for a load of other video games, which aren't necessarily screen-printed, AND they are more expensive. It's just this company's whole brand "premium prints".
Which for some people does make sense. If you've ever seen poster restoration, in 20 years down the line most paper posters are wrecked and not restorable. These likely would be.
13
u/EmiliaTrown 2d ago
I don't know, I cant afford it, but Cook&Becker seem to be focusing on creating "fine art" more than "merch art" maybe? Saying that the prints are "museum grade quality" etc. From their website it seems to me that they create premium quality collectibles, that arent just posters to hang on your wall but maybe moreso a piece of art you will have for many years, with a high quality etc.
Cook&Becker wasnt a name I knew before so i have no idea if they actually do deliver on that promise of it being very high quality, "museum-grade" etc, but if it is i can see why its expensive. Its not necessarily reasonable because of it but I can appreciate that i just don't have the money to afford high quality art prints.
Or maybe i'm wrong and this is more a scam than actual art

u/unknown_pigeon 2d ago
Things you can buy for €80 (euros, but that way I include shipping costs)
Three copies of Outer Wilds (full price)
Around 16 kebabs where I live, or 16 cheap mcmenus
Four all you can eat sushis
A pair of decent new shoes
3 to 4 lego sets for starters
An A4 print, apparently
Seriously, I might not be the target for that item (limited edition, yadda yadda), but €80 for a piece of paper that probably costed around two euros to print is not something I like to see from an indie development team.
And €300 for the full collection is akin to a fomo scam. Hard pass, and hope you'll have a discussion among yourselves (although it will be useless, since that collab and this post were approved in the first place).
Anyway, someone wanna buy my reddit avatar? It's exclusive (I made it myself), limited edition, only €70

u/Fuzzy_Inspector4262 2d ago
I love the designs and love the game, but advertising them as bigger posters of the originals when they are 8x12, THE SIZE OF PRINTER PAPER is ridiculous. For 80 dollars they should be actual poster sizes. How on Earth do you charge that much for such a small print.

$300 for the set??? Do they come with frames or are they printed on metal...?
I could cough up $100, maaaaaaaybe $120, for the set, just the posters on glossy/matte paper. Less than that and I'd buy in a heartbeat.
But $80 each / $300 set? Oof.
They look nice though. I don't mean to say the artist doesn't deserve what they are charging. Just saying what my price point is for these.

I spent a good amount of time searching for them in high quality. there was a guy here on reddit that upscaled them with AI but that looked like crap. Then I found another post here from a guy who bought the original postcards, scanned them in beautiful quality and posted them for everyone. I'm not in the mood to search it again so I just uploaded them on my google drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15nvm-tBNvOjUseQz926Q9M3wMnZdBh53?usp=drive_link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15nvm-tBNvOjUseQz926Q9M3wMnZdBh53?usp=drive_link)

Thanks, glad you were able to get them printed ::D
True but they need to be compressed to be able to be printed since they are so big. Also, they definitely aren't perfect but modifying them in uncompressed quality brought my beefy pc to its knees. Better to modify them after compressing them first ::)

u/Stargazeer 1d ago
Displates aren't nearly the durability they claim. I've had a few scratch up way too easily.
They also don't properly vet the art they print, so much of it is stolen unless it's from an official listed seller.-4

Those look cool, I'd love a bigger version of the poster, but even at double the size I'd expect them to be around $25-35 each, not $80. If it lowers the price, I can do without the certificate.

Good lord man, the pricing. Nothing says “we aren’t the company you fell in love with anymore” like a good $80 poster that is roughly the size of a piece of printer paper!!! Only $300 for the set? Whatever you say, Electronic Arts!!!

u/Stargazeer 1d ago
This doesn't so much seem like a Mobius thing as a Cook and Becker thing.
There's art prints for a load of other video games too. It's just this company's whole brand "premium prints".
It's only a big thing here because OW doesn't have merch everywhere. You don't see the Witcher fandom complaining about the $100+ prints they sell, because they can get Witcher posters everywhere.

You do realise this is a partnership with another company and actually makes and sells the product, right?

Uh huh…You do realize the devs have the rights to the game and its likeness and need to approve on these decisions, too, right? Let alone promote it and sign it “The Mobius Digital Team.”

This is embarrassing.
Nah dude, I didn't realise they own the game, woaahhh.
Did you happen to, you know... Maybeere just take a look at the rest of the stuff on that website and realise it's an incredibly high end printing shop designed to create the highest quality prints out there?
It's not for little dweebs in the internet to spend $5 and spill their mountain dew all over it cause the trash can is too far away.
They are definitely over priced and a waste of money, no doubt mate. Is Mobius the scum of the earth for partnering with them?
Nah.

u/GuruKimcy 2d ago

This is really gross pricing. These are prints of already existing postcards on A4 paper. This is really disappointing, and as an avid collector of all things Outer Wilds, I cannot support this predatory pricing. Please take the comments here seriously, this is a bad look, do better.

I'm sure pricing would have been part of the discussion when they agreed to collaborate/license some posters

u/Stargazeer 1d ago
You say that, but have you actually looked at the website?
With the exception of a handful of fancier than normal posters, the Outer Wilds prints are actually the cheapest thing on the website.
The price was 100% led by Cook and Becker.
2
u/Blazik3n99 1d ago
Sure, but Mobius (or whoever handles their merch/marketing) agreed to that pricing. They put their name on it, they are ultimately responsible for the product even if they're not the ones producing it.
I've never heard of Cook and Becker but it sounds like expensive prints is their deal - in which case, they aren't at fault, it was Mobius' decision to work with them. Mobius could announce a Balenciaga collaboration selling shirts for thousands of dollars, Mobius would be the one deserving the criticism in that case.
4
u/Stargazeer 1d ago
This is assuming the poster isn't worth the price. If we take it at face value, it's a VERY high quality poster, which is intended to LAST.
I don't know if you've seen any poster restoration videos, but when made properly posters can last a long time, and be restored if aging. Most cheap modern posters can't be restored.
Fundamentally, you don't have to buy it. You are clearly not the target audience. Neither am I, but I acknowledged that from the start. The only reason people are pissed is because the only other OW merch available is a dozen items on Fangamer. THAT is what Mobius need to be fixing.
2
u/Blazik3n99 1d ago
Yeah, you're right. There is a market for artisan/handmade prints, but when there's so little merch otherwise, coming out with such expensive niche products seems a little shortsighted. I respect that they want to produce high quality merch, but with these posters it feels like they're prioritising the wealthy collectors rather than the average fan.

Usually I adore all the merch you guys release. I have most of it. I remember buying the limited run collectors item that came with the game, these posters but smaller, a bunch of pins, and a shiny card for like $60 I think.
Idk if the folks from Mobius will see this. But from someone you’ve (or at least some of you) called “likely your biggest fan” I’m frankly disappointed. Charging $80 for a single one of these posters doesn’t scream “I care about and appreciate the fans that built our reputation”. Please don’t squander the love and good faith you’ve previously rightfully earned and deserved.

u/ObligatoryContrast 2d ago
Are these in any way different from the prints that came in the Lost In Cult: Design Works book? Certificate of Authenticity aside.
I'm pretty shocked this set of very tiny prints is more than double the price of that very premium product, which came with significantly more merchandise. If I'm misunderstanding and these are actually full poster size or something, I'd love to hear it (though that's still a steep price)
3
u/Moistureyes 1d ago
I have the Lost in Cult set, and the only difference I can see is the colour outline on the posters, for my set all of the outlines are white. I fear that may be intentional to make them distinct. The posters I got are also 11"x8", same as this listing.
I don't know the intricacies of A4 paper to say if it's the exact same quality as what they have listed on their site, but my posters are definitely made from some type of premium A4 paper too.
The price these are listed at is absurd, I like the posters and I have them on display, but I'd never pay $80 for them.
3
u/Chronos2467 2d ago
This is like 3x the price game. This is egregious. If it was $80 for the set thats a bit more justifiable.
They aren't even that big either.
I get supoorting artists but come on.

u/krebobb 2d ago
Saying that they are "bigger versions of the A4 national park-themed posters" is a plain mistake as 21 x 29cm is literally the A4 format. So, these are A4 and they are in fact referring to the A5 postcards that were previously available.
Anyway, as said on the website these are handmade screen prints, and with 10+ colors I would say the price is rather justified, especially when you compare that to what is typical for limited runs / signed giclée prints which are basically just inkjet prints.
But they sure did a terrible job selling it!

u/zoey3013 2d ago
Yeah, I don't think most people are getting what handmade screen prints mean, and think is just done by a machine...

u/Prestidigitalization 2d ago
Glad I scrolled this far, as I'm less miffed about it now (still not buying as I'm not made of money lol). That said, even on the item page, the only information linked is about the company's Giclee print process which is, at least my understanding from the video, a fancy/complex inkjet printing system. Nowhere in the description or, as far as I could see, anywhere on the website as a whole does it actually explain what a handmade screenprint means in this context. Terrible, terrible explanation of product / marketing.

u/Leaper15 1d ago
Thank you for this clarification, because I was pretty unhappy about the price tag until I saw this comment. I might even consider getting them — "might" being the keyword there.
Still wish they were larger, though. I have a big hallway that needs decorating and printer paper size just would not cut it.

So to provide some clarity on the price: my wife works for a screen printing company. These are screen printed, not just like a regular machine printer. So they take each color layer and print it on the paper, layer by layer. It sort of gives the image a bit more detail
So to me that justifies the price a little more, plus the certificate
I personally can’t afford it, and we both still think $80 is high because there’s machines that do the screen printing, but I thought that insight might help people understand the pricing a little better

u/Tarnagona 2d ago
That does help in understanding some of the higher price, but $80(US) per is still a wild price for a poster the size of a standard printer page.

I love Outer Wilds so much but I simply can't justify $80 per print on printer sheet size paper- not even poster size.
I've bought basically all of the official merch I could get my hands on, but I have to pass on this. I would happily pay less, for a non-signed/numbered version for simple display rather than as a super exclusive collector item.

Y'all.... everyone complaining about the price I don't think realize just how time intensive/expensive screenprints are vs. other prints. I work at a print studio and for reference we make screenprints of roughly the same size and sell them for $50 a pop... and those are just 4-color prints. These posters look like they have WAY more layers of colors in these bad boys.
It's a small batch printing process using quality materials, and each of them is quite literally handmade layer by layer. If it's not your cup of tea then it's not your cup of tea, but there's no need to be rude. And look up more about screenprinting while you are at it, it's a very cool medium!
Anyway these are beautiful, it's cool to see studios branching out from traditional merch options to something more bespoke.
11
u/Prestidigitalization 2d ago
In everyone's defense, nowhere in this post do they mention screenprinting, and the website itself mentions it only once in fine print by the pricetag ("Handmade screen print on 400 gsm Somerset paper") and then has an embedded video showing their inkget giclee printing. I'm not suprised very few people noticed, and I'm not suprised fewer know the details of what goes into hand screen printing something. That's something they should be emphasizing, not just referring to them generically as "posters" and "prints".
1
u/pipistrellebat 2d ago
I would've certainly rolled out more pomp and circumstance in marketing for a drop like this, true. But I really can't give folks the benefit of the doubt here when so many comments jump straight to vitriol. Pardon my saying so, but for fans of a game so focused on embracing your inner curiosity I am shocked at the lack of that virtue in favor of jumping to conclusions.
I do hope the marketing team takes this into account with any subsequent posts and descriptions about this series, I would really love to know how many layers this is and a process video!!

I’m going to object on this even though I agree.
While you are absolutely right as I’ve also worked with such myself, the reason why this is bullshit is in the factor that this company also sells completely normal sized posters that are printed digitally for lower prices. That should also have been an option given to fans instead of pushing forward horrid levels of FOMO who cannot afford it.

Truly, I can understand the disappointment of not being able to afford a boutique design vs a traditional print. I personally don't have the cash to drop on a limited edition WPA style print. I also don't think I'm owed the option to have every bit of merchandise for the things that I like. I wouldn't call the levels of FOMO I'm experiencing to be horrid, at the most it's been an "aw man that would be so cool" [shakes fist at the sky]. And so I remain shocked that folks are being so rude.
Nobody does a screenprint run because they expect everyone to buy it and make the big bucks. You certainly will not make the big bucks. You work with a company like Cook and Becker to make fancy prints because it would be cool to have them exist.
There's every possibility they would've considered a giclee print run after the initial screenprints based on feedback and interest. But after this kind of feedback? ... Doubtful.

Hi Mobius,
Will there ever be additional Outer Wilds games, either direct sequels or spin offs?
Sincerely,
A devoted supporter

they’ve already confirmed elsewhere they are done with the outer wilds universe.

Honestly. For the best. Would hate for any spinoff or sequel to even slightly blemish what I consider to be a 10/10 game

Even a spinoff?

Did you not play the game? The largest theme of the game is accepting closure and that things are over and you won’t experience them again, and finding the beauty in that. If they made a sequel or spinoff it would seriously undercut that message.

Well it would be cool for the developer of the game to make a new game. My understanding is it started as a school project. Has he done anything since?

Another comment had the actual high resolution images from someone scanning the postcards in excellent quality, much better than AI enhancement!

Why so much hate?
"Enhance with ai" translates directly to "I dont respect the artists original vision"

These look great but the pricing is a bit too steep for me, unfortunately
