Prepare to read.

Several video games are getting their very own comic book adaptation in 2014. This year’s New York Comic Con had some particularly cool announcements for fans of roleplaying games.

Dark Souls 2

From Software’s Dark Souls 2 is getting a free online graphic novel called Dark Souls 2: Into the Light. It’s being developed primarily for the internet, but certain editions of the game will come with a print copy, according to Namco Bandai.

I’m intensely curious how Dark Souls, a game with few words and a very enigmatic storyline, will translate to the printed page. What new lore will we be privy to this coming January when the comic is slated to go online?

Into the Light is being written by Rob Williams and Andi Ewington, with illustrations by Simon Coleby.
