Namco Bandai Announce Comic Book Adaptation for Dark Souls II

-

Yesterday saw Namco Bandai Games Europe and From Software host the very first closed beta test for Dark Souls II – which due to my feeling unwell I slept pretty much all the way through. The beta test is not the only recent news to come from the studios however, with them confirming that they are enlisted some “of the most exciting comic writers and artists” to produce a comic book based on Dark Souls II. A treatment I would have personally preferred from Demon’s Souls.

Titled Dark Souls II: Into the Light, this graphic novel takes place in the same universe as the game. It will be written by Rob Williams and Andi Ewington, with art to be produced by Simon Coleby. When asked about their collaboration around “DARK SOULS II: Into the Light”, the authors said that “Gothic environments, unworldly monsters, eldritch atmosphere, adventure and terror” are the best arguments that an artist could wish for! When it comes down to the deep & breathtaking storyline they only whispered “Before you venture into the darkness, pay heed to those who know what awaits within”.

Dark Souls II is a sequel to the 2011 / 2012 console and PC title Dark Souls. As with its Playstation 3 exclusive predecessor Demon’s Souls, all three are action RPG’s that rely on being insanely difficult and challenging as their main draw. A draw that has been successful  for them so far.
