Dark Horse Comics has announced the latest in its line of Nintendo based books. Following Fire Emblem, Zelda and Splatoon, is Switch exclusive from earlier this year, Arms.

What is said to be the first novel, so I suppose we can expect a few Arms-related novels in the future, is scheduled to be out in the Autumn of 2018. No story details, writer, or illustrator are publicly attached to the project yet, but the above image was drawn by Joe Ng.

Ng has worked on a number of Capcom books before such as Darkstalkers, Mega Man and Street Fighter, so he’s no stranger to video game comics.

In our review we said that Arms has some ‘enjoyable tactical one-on-one battles,’ but is ‘chaotic when there’s more than two characters fighting.’
