Udon Entertainment is set to release the third installment of its official Elden Ring art book series on November 4th. This latest volume is entirely dedicated to the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. Considering the DLC introduced a wealth of new open-world areas, intricate dungeons, and numerous formidable bosses—content vast enough to be a standalone title—it`s fitting that a dedicated art book is being released to capture its essence.
For collectors eager to add this new volume to their library, Elden Ring: Official Art Book Volume III is available for preorder, often with a slight discount, making it a valuable acquisition for fans.
Below, we provide details on this upcoming art book, alongside information about its predecessors for those interested in completing their collection. While Volume I is currently out of stock, Volume II remains available and is also often found at a reduced price.

Elden Ring Official Strategy Guides
The new art book isn`t the only publication expanding the Elden Ring universe this year. An official companion guide for the recently launched spin-off, Elden Ring Nightreign, is scheduled for release on September 30th. This comprehensive 400-page hardcover strategy guide will feature detailed maps, a bestiary, an item catalog, and explanations to help players master the challenging run-based gameplay of the multiplayer co-op spin-off. It also includes compiled dialogue, lore entries, and artwork.
This Elden Ring Nightreign companion guide serves as a follow-up to Future Press`s acclaimed three-volume Elden Ring: Books of Knowledge strategy guide series. Each volume in the Books of Knowledge series contains hundreds of pages packed with gameplay tips, lore, and artwork, each focusing on a specific aspect of the game: Volume 1 covers the various locations (512 pages), Volume 2 delves into the combat system, enemies, spells, and equipment (528 pages), and Volume 3 offers a 416-page guide specifically for the Shadow of the Erdtree content. All three volumes are currently in stock, though it`s advised to acquire them soon, as the first two volumes were previously unavailable for over a year before being restocked.
Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree Manga
Adding to the upcoming Elden Ring reading material, the next volume of the official manga series, “The Road to the Erdtree,” is set to debut on October 28th. Volume 7 is available for preorder, and Volume 6 recently launched on July 22nd. Earlier volumes are also accessible for those looking to catch up on the series.
While “Elden Ring: The Road to the Erdtree” visually aligns with the game`s aesthetic, featuring familiar locations, creatures, and characters, it notably offers a distinct interpretation of the source material. Rather than a somber, serious narrative typical of The Lands Between, this manga presents a comedic adventure. Despite this significant tonal shift, it has been well-received by fans for its engaging writing, providing a fresh perspective on the Elden Ring universe.

- Volume 2 – Available.
