Up first is Guerilla Games with an awesome art of Sam and Aloy (Horizon Zero Dawn) riding a Reverse Trike alongside Watchers. Not only is this art incredibly good, it’s also a celebration of the collaboration between KojiPro and Guerilla; after all, Guerilla Games helped out a lot in Death Stranding’s development. The studios even share the development of the Decima engine.

Finally, we have Sucker Punch Productions with art of BB holding a tiny katana, in reference to the studio’s upcoming game Ghost of Tsushima.
While the art itself is great, the tweet exchange between the studios is even better:
