Dark Souls: Redemption officially announced, will release this year

Dark Souls fans rejoice! No, you aren’t getting a Bloodborne PC port, but you are able to get something equally as cool. Ok, slightly as cool.

As of 27 August, Dark Souls fans will be able to get their hands on Dark Souls: Redemption, an original manga series inspired by the RPG series.

Check out Dark Souls III in the trailer below!

Having previously only been available in French, the manga series has now been translated into English and will be published by Yen Press.

With the first volume dropping on 27 August, pre-orders will be made available very soon and you can expect it to retail for around $15 USD/$19.50 CAD.

The original story is written by Julien Blondel with incredible art from Shonen and the synopsis reads as follows:

“Doomed by a past long forgotten, resolved to save what she once held dear. The flame is lit. A nameless woman wakes. Roused from the tomb by a past she cannot recall, she sets out into a barren, unfamiliar landscape.

The protector follows. Bound by oath and honor, he safeguards her against the dangers that draw near with the same ferocity he does the secrets of his past. The Gray Cinders gather in their tower, called by the fire to complete their solemn duty.

A colossus, incarnate of death, stirs with the bones beneath the scarred grounds. And a nightmare-scourge of a bygone era-returns to exact its toll. The fate of this land hangs in the balance, as their journey unfolds in this original DARK SOULS story!”

If all this talk of Dark Souls has made you want to dive back into the series, this Dark Souls Remastered mod will allow you to experience the original title but with enhanced graphics and gameplay.

If not, you only have a few weeks left for Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree!
