FromSoftware’s Deep Lore Continues to Captivate Fans with Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium 25th Anniversary Edition

FromSoftware, renowned for its intricate and immersive gaming worlds, continues to capture the imagination of gamers worldwide, long after the release of their iconic titles like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring. Among these, the Dark Souls series stands out for its rich lore and multiple expansions.

Released in 2016, “Dark Souls III” marked the last installment in the series, but the lore of the Kingdom of Lordran remains a vibrant topic of discussion among fans. To satiate the community’s thirst for knowledge, Future Press, in collaboration with FromSoftware and Bandai Namco, published the Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium in 2019. This collector’s book delves deep into the series’ lore, uncovering secrets and offering a stylish addition to any fan’s shelf.

However, the initial run of the Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium sold out quickly, leaving many to seek it at significantly higher prices through independent sellers. In response to continued demand, Future Press has released a “strictly limited one-time reprint” to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary. This special edition launched in the UK in February 2024 and is still available on Amazon UK, albeit with a waiting list of one to three months. Meanwhile, fans in the US can look forward to its release on April 15, 2024, with pre-orders already underway on Amazon US.

Looking ahead, FromSoftware isn’t resting on its laurels. The company’s next big project, the “Elden Ring” expansion titled “Shadow of the Erdtree,” is set to release on June 20, 2024. The gaming community highly anticipates this upcoming expansion and promises to expand the lore of Elden Ring, which has already garnered a massive following.

For fans of FromSoftware’s games, the reissue of the Dark Souls Trilogy Compendium and the upcoming Elden Ring expansion represent exciting opportunities to dive deeper into the rich, dark worlds that have become hallmarks of the developer’s success. Whether you’re a longtime aficionado or a newcomer to the series, these releases offer fresh insights and continued engagement with some of the most profound storytelling in video gaming.
