Yen Press Confirms Elden Ring Manga Adaptation Arriving in English in 2027
A new journey in print
Elden Ring: Become Lord, Vol. 1 TP is scheduled to arrive from Yen Press on January 26, 2027. Its 176 pages present a full-color retelling of the original game’s adventure.
The story follows a Tarnished traveling through the Lands Between and seeking to become the next Elden Lord. Its battles center on the fate of the land and the powerful shardbearers who stand in the way.
Creative team and artwork
Scriptwriter 21g and artist Tegekiken are spearheading the manga. Tegekiken also uses the pen name Hand Punch and is a twin-brother creative duo from China.
A darker adaptation for English readers
Unlike the more comedic Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Become Lord follows the game’s serious, dark-fantasy tone with an action-oriented approach. Its full-color presentation also differs from the black-and-white format used for most traditional manga.
The Yen Press edition is the official English-language release of a Japanese manga that debuted in 2024. A second Japanese volume has also been published, though the article says an English-language follow-up is only a possibility. The first volume is priced at $20.00.
