The eighth volume of the Prestige edition of Berserk will be released on February 17, 2027, by the French publisher Glénat. Priced at 27.90 €, this edition continues the format used in earlier Prestige volumes, which combine two standard editions into one large, hardcover volume. This edition includes a revised and expanded translation, along with previously unpublished color pages in France. The Prestige edition features Kentaro Miura's manga in a large format (18.9 × 26.6 cm), with a rigid cover and colored spines. Volume 8 corresponds to volumes 15 and 16 of the standard edition. The price has risen over time: volumes 1 to 6 of the Prestige edition cost 24.90 €, and the price increased to 27.90 € starting with volume 7. This volume 8 arrives three months after volume 7 (volumes 13 and 14 of the standard edition), which was also available for pre-order and was scheduled for November 18, 2026. For collectors who wish to complete this new edition, volume 8 is already available for pre-order.
Following the events of the Golden Age and the horrifying Eclipse, Guts has left behind his life as a mercenary and taken on the title of "black warrior." Two years after the tragedy, he wanders the land searching for the apostles and Griffith, who has transformed into the demon Femto, driven by a single purpose: revenge. This quest leads him to track down increasingly monstrous creatures, as the line between the human world and the demon world becomes increasingly blurred. In this eighth volume of the Prestige edition, Guts reaches the outskirts of the Mist Valley, a region perpetually cloaked in fog. There, he encounters Jill, a young girl mistreated by the adults in her village, which is itself terrorized by mysterious "elves" that attack both livestock and humans. Miura reveals another side of Guts in this volume. While remaining a war machine fueled by revenge, his encounters with Jill and Rosine begin to make him more human.
If you are following the standard edition of Berserk, volume 43 has been available from Glénat since July 1, 2026, at a price of 7.20 €, and opens a new arc titled "Exile in the East." Fans of Kentaro Miura can also look forward to The Art of Berserk, an artbook of 240 pages published by Glénat and scheduled for October 28, 2026. It is available in two versions: a standard edition priced at 35 €, and a special Zodd edition priced at 95 €. The book includes color illustrations and double-page spreads from the manga, as well as an interview with Kentaro Miura, who passed away in 2021. The interview focuses on his universe, his creative desires, and his artistic techniques. Both editions of the artbook are currently available for pre-order.
