An official Alden Ring manga has been released, featuring characters like Melina, Radhan, and Melania, but instead of following a deep and dark story similar to the game, the comic is actually a comedy.
As reported by PC gamerThe manga is Available for free online in 12 languages and published by FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa. It follows Ace, a wretched Tarnished (the naked starting character from Alden Ring) as he navigates the weird and wonderful world of the Lands Between.
While only two chapters are currently available, the manga will evolve over time with new chapters coming out on the 4th and 19th of each month. It is written by Nikiichi Tobita, the artist behind another gag manga called A Cursed Sword’s Daily Life, but follows the same experiences and storylines set by FromSoftware.
