Dark Souls: Redemption Manga Debuts in August

Yen Press announced an original Dark Souls manga adaptation called Dark Souls: Redemption. It will feature an original story inspired by the game, and the first volume of it will debut on August 27, 2024. 

There are few details about what the series will involve. However, the main characters will be a warrior accompanying a nameless woman into Lordran. The Gray Cinders are also mentioned.

Here’s a look at the first cover for the first volume in the new series. While pre-orders aren’t live for the adaptation yet, Yen Press did open an official listing for the series.

While the Dark Souls: Redemption is an original creation with a story by French author Julien Blondel and art by Shonen, it isn’t the first manga adaptation of a FromSoftware series. Yen Press previously picked up Kadokawa’s Japanese Elden Ring manga. It’s a comedic look at the adventures of Aseo in The Lands Between. Titan also released a Bloodborne comic series.

Volume 1 of the Dark Souls: Redemption manga will launch on August 27, 2024. The original video game is available on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, while the remaster is out on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
