Elden Ring Is Getting A Novel All About Real People Playing Elden Ring
Elden Ring has been out for a little while now, and plenty of extra material has been released alongside it since then, some of it extremely bizarre. For example, an Elden Ring manga was released shortly after the launch of the game, and despite all the game's depressing themes and stories, the manga itself was actually more a comedy. Truly bizarre stuff, but not that out of character.

You'd think with the sheer amount of lore and character included in the game, coupled with FromSoftware's fairly off-hand approach to storytelling, that a novel all about the world's characters and motivations would be a no-brainer, but Kadakowa has gone for a different approach.

One day at work, a senior colleague spots him looking at Elden Ring guides, and the two begin to form a beautiful relationship while bonding at work and in Elden Ring over their shared love of the title.
See You At That Grace After Work has a pretty talented writer behind it too, having been written by Keiichi Hikami who has also written several books based on the Monster Hunter series.

See You At That Grace After Work is currently only available in Japan right now, with no word on an international release at the time of writing, though it is up for pre-order on Amazon Japan with a March 29 release date. If you speak the language, and you're a fan of Elden Ring, then fill your boots.
For the rest of you, you'll have to wait for Shadow of the Erdtree for more Elden Ring. Thankfully, we
