Elden Ring is undeniably one of the most critically acclaimed and influential fantasy RPGs of the modern gaming era. Having shipped 30 million copies worldwide by April 2025 and earned numerous accolades, including 2022's Game of the Year, it's no surprise that this gaming phenomenon is getting a new adaptation of the original game's adventure, arriving in 2027.
On January 26, 2027, Elden Ring fans will have the opportunity to experience FromSoftware's legendary video game through a different yet equally visually stunning medium with the release of Yen Press's Elden Ring: Become Lord, Vol. 1. This full-color manga retells the original game's adventure, following a Tarnished on their quest to become the next Elden Lord.
With this release, fans can look forward to 176 pages of pure Elden Ring epicness, with scriptwriter 21g and artist Tegekiken spearheading the project. When it comes to the artwork in Elden Ring: Become Lord, readers can rest assured that they're in good hands. Tegekiken, also known by the pen name Hand Punch, is actually a twin-brother creative duo from China, best known for their original work, Emotions Evolution, which won two awards at the TATESC COMICS Global Awards.
Having won the Simplified Chinese Gold Award and Japanese Translation Publication Silver Award, this talented twin-brother duo brings some impressive artistic credentials to the project. Elden Ring fans will undoubtedly have plenty to look forward to in their contribution to the manga. Those interested in getting their hands on Elden Ring: Become Lord, Vol. 1 TP can purchase it for $20.00 when it releases in January.

Main Cover by Tegekiken for Elden Ring: Become Lord Vol. 1 TP (2027)
In Elden Ring: Become Lord, Vol. 1 TP, readers can expect a retelling of the battles that determine the fate of the Lands Between. The manga's full synopsis reads: “Following the guidance of grace, a Tarnished has arrived in a cursed land—but the path ahead is perilous indeed, for the shardbearers will not relinquish their power without a fight. Experience the world of Elden Ring in this beautiful full-color retelling of the battles to decide the fate of the Lands Between!”
Fans of the original video game's tone will find this release particularly tempting. Unlike the previously released, more comedic-leaning Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree, Become Lord embraces the video game's serious, dark-fantasy tone, delivering a more traditional, action-oriented approach to the story. The full-color release is also notable, since most traditional manga are published in black and white. As a result, this vibrant rendition will elevate the story visually.
It's important to clarify that Yen Press's Elden Ring: Become Lord, Vol. 1 TP will be the official English-language release of an already-published Japanese manga. Therefore, while this release will be entirely new for English-speaking audiences, readers who speak Japanese may have already experienced this epic adaptation, which originally debuted in 2024.
With a second Japanese volume of Elden Ring: Become Lord also published, fans can likely expect a second English-language release in the near future. So, if you've got the Elden Ring itch, you can look forward to an exciting year ahead filled with epic adaptations.
Elden Ring: Become Lord Vol. 1 TP from Yen Press will be available to read on January 26, 2027!
