Yen Press has announced the English-language release of Dark Souls: Redemption, an original manga series based on FromSoftware’s Dark Souls video game series. The manga will be released in both print and digital format in August 2024.
Dark Souls: Redemption is an official manga spin-off taking place in the world of the video game series, which is an original creation from French publisher Mana Books. The story is written by Julien Blondel and illustrated by Shonen.
Yen Press describes the synopsis of the manga series as:
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!
FromSoftware is a sister company to Yen Press, which has published a variety of books based on its properties, such as Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying and ELDEN RING: The Road to the Erdtree. In October 2022, Yen Press published the original novel DARK SOULS: Masque of Vindication.
