Elden Ring "Become Lord" Webtoon Format and Availability

Created by artist duo Hand Punch, Elden Ring "Become Lord" will chronicle The Tarnished's journey through the Lands Between toward their destiny of becoming Elden Lord. The series aims to faithfully recreate the grand adventure and charm of the original Elden Ring game.

This is the official synopsis from Kadokawa:

"The story follows one of The Tarnished who, guided by blessings, reached the Lands Between and sets out on a journey to become the next Elden Lord. Along the way, the Tarnished encounters charming characters, explores various dungeons, battles mighty bosses, and more.”

As described by Kadokawa, Become Lord will be formatted as a "full-color dark fantasy webtoon manga" optimized for smartphone reading. This vertical, scrolling style is commonly seen in manhwa webcomics.

In addition to web publication on the Kadokomi website, Elden Ring: Become Lord will be released in e-book format and as physical Tankobon volumes too. Currently, only a Japanese language release has been formally announced.
