Following the release of the highly-anticipated expansion trailer, Elden Ring is getting another manga series titled Become Lord. Yes, it’s “another” manga series as there’s an ongoing one titled The Road to the Erdtree which began serialization back in September 2022.
This new series is a bit different though as it’s not exactly a manga as it’s more of a webtoon. Whether you consider it a manga or a webtoon, what’s certain is that it’s a new comic series that’s set in FromSoftware’s latest world, and it follows a Tarnished who aims to become the Elden Lord.
"Elden Ring" is getting a new Full-Color Dark Fantasy Webtoon Manga Series titled "Elden Ring – Become Lord" by Hand Punch starting on Kadokomi Web on March 29, 2024.

Aside from the series following a Tarnished, it’s not clear what the story of this will be, though it’s likely going to be more serious compared to the first manga. After all, The Road to the Erdtree is a parody manga that offers a comedic take on the Elden Ring story.
From the previews, the art looks quite promising, meaning fans of the series will want to give it a read. Fingers-crossed that it gets an official English translation given that The Road to the Erdtree manga has an English release courtesy of Yen Press for the physical version and Comic Walker for the digital edition.
The Elden Ring: Become Lord manga/webtoon is made by Hand Punch and will begin serialization on Kadokomi Web on March 29, 2024.
