I’m glad such guides are still being published. Honestly there is something special in buying paper books, magazines etc.
I mean digital products aren’t able to surrogate the good old books as well as digital copies of video games couldn’t serve as analog classical discs with manuals in boxes.
Wow this is awesome news. I love strategy guides in general and the futurepress ones for previous Souls games have been absolutely superb
Thanks for the heads up here as I imagine these will go quick
Following the link for book 1 on amazon tells me its £35.19 not £31.78...i may have to buy both of these to sit along side my from collection..
@roe My thoughts exactly, my hardcover Bloodborne guide is a valued treasure and I think these will be incredible as well!
@Northern_munkey great catch! It looks like the price has already changed since this article was published, have edited to reflect that
Finally, I've been waiting on this for so long. Instant buy for both volumes. I love the Future Press strategy guides and I have one for every FromSoft game.
Very nice.
I said I'd stop buying these things, but when they look this good...
These will be the last two I buy...
Will sit along nicely with my Art Works books for Dark Souls 1, 2 and Sekiro. The one for Dark Souls 3 goes for over 200 quid on Amazon UK, so best to get them whilst they are at a decent price.
@Khayl @Northern_munkey Yeah, it had gone up to £35.19 when I checked only 50 mins after your piece was posted, Khayl.
@Khayl they did one of those? I was late to the BB party, however i did managed to catch a softcover version of the Udon press art book.
I was too late for the Bloodborne Guide but I got the one for the Old Hunters DLC and that one is amazing.
Pre-ordered both, thanks for the heads up! I've been looking out for these, was puzzled how they hadn't announced anything yet. I've got the DS trilogy compendium, BB+Old Hunters and Sekiro from them, and they are all magnificent, these will look great next to those. Shame they never did the Demon's Souls remake.
Pre ordered. They look great and seemingly will only go up in price too.
We're preordering strategy guides for a game that released months ago? I have several really nice hardcover guides - BotW comes to mind - but I got them all day 1. 🤷
@Gamerintent55 I'm in New York, it's 7AM, both are showing available for me right now.

Ordered them both for my kid, going for the plat now - I'm stuck at both Melanie and Elden boss after 300 hours - so maybe they'll come in handy. They collect dragon stuff, it fits the decor. Got 30 day free Prime trial too.😁
A bit late no? Should have released back in March
Pre-ordered—thanks for the heads up! I don’t usually buy this type of stuff, but I love Elden Ring so much, and I know I’ve missed a lot!
If they'd released them at launch, it'd already be filled with misinformation and inaccuracies since the game has changed quite a lot.
@AndyKazama they did, and it was a thing of beauty. I remember there being a stack of them on the counter of my local EB games, I picked one up for like $20 haha
