While the original gallery has been taken down, copies of the artbook continue circulating across file-sharing platforms. The materials include:

The leak coincides with Shadows' adjusted March 20, 2025 release date, following a delay from its original 2024 window. Game director Charles Benoit recently explained to IGN that the additional development time primarily addressed:
