Rather than recreating the already established stories from the games, the comic, titled Dark Souls, will have an entirely new story that’s set in the same universe as the first two games. 

The comic will be written by George Mann, who was the author behind the Dr. Who novels Paradox Lost and Engines of War. It will also be illustrated by Alan Quah, whose previous work includes Godzilla: Awakening and The Vampire Diaries.

Mann stated in the official Titan press release:

It’s not yet known whether this will be part of a series or serve as a one-off edition, but as long as it lives up to the standards set by the Dark Souls games, I think fans will be overjoyed to be able to experience some of the lore without suffering through a thousand painful deaths.
