According to IGN, the comic will be simply called ‘Dark Souls’ and will be set within the universe of 2014’s ‘Game of The Year’. Issue 1 of Dark Souls will come in five variant covers designed by Joshua Cassara and Marco Tuni and will be written by George Mann and drawn by Alan Quah.
Just incase you're wondering why everyone's so hyped about this game
In Titan Comic’s official press release Mann expressed his excitement for the new series saying:
"I’m ‘dead’ excited to be working on this new series (see what I did, there). Dark Souls has a rich, original universe that’s just begging to be explored in comics, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to delve in and tell some new stories within it. I’ve been a fan of the games for some time, so it’s a real thrill to be able to contribute to the mythology of the Hollows and their world.”
