Nikiichi Tobita, creator of the Elden Ring: Road to the Erdtree manga, has announced a break to coincide with the release of Elden Ring's latest DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree.
Few events in the gaming world have generated as much excitement as the recent release of Elden Ring's latest DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. Nikiichi Tobita, the creative force behind the popular Elden Ring: Road to the Erdtree manga, has decided to take a break from production. This decision is simply Tobita's understandable desire to fully dive into the DLC experience.
It's Called Research!
For those working in the gaming industry, finding time to unplug between major releases can feel like searching for a rare treasure. But Tobita, known for infusing the lore of Elden Ring with humor and playful twists, isn't avoiding the issue. He's taken a break after the manga's 45th chapter to indulge in Shadow of the Earth Tree.The manga itself, a lively reinterpretation of Elden Ring's serious lore, covers the Lands Between with a mischievous spirit. It departs from the seriousness of the game by adding humorous characterizations and bringing in memes and insider references that are deeply resonant with fans.
