Game urbanist Konstantinos Dimopoulos knows a lot about places that don’t exist: he’s consulted on the construction of videogame cities for many years. His new book is a fictional travel guide to some of the most iconic cities in videogames, and testament to a career spent City 17, the twisted streets of Yarnham, Clock Town in Rockvil – and ’s spiritual home and the true star of Kamurocho. Preorder now for its November 10 release – this, at least, is one trip the pandemic can’t spoil.
