On Thursday, publisher Bandai Namco and A24 announced that an adaptation of Elden Ring is currently in development. While specific details about the film are scarce, it has been confirmed that George R.R. Martin, co-author of the game’s lore, will co-produce the project, as reported by Deadline.
Elden Ring marks a significant evolution in FromSoftware’s reputation for challenging action-role-playing games, immersing players in an expansive open-world setting that offers greater freedom compared to previous titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne. The narrative follows players as a Tarnished, a once-great hero, who ventures into the bleak Lands Between to piece together the shattered Elden Ring and claim the title of Elden Lord. Since its release, the game has become FromSoftware’s best-selling title, with over 30 million copies sold by April.
In 2024, FromSoftware launched an expansion for Elden Ring titled Shadow of the Erdtree. Additionally, a multiplayer-focused spin-off, Elden Ring Nightreign, is set to debut on May 30.
Garland’s latest film, Warfare, which he co-directed, was released in April and received both critical acclaim and commercial success.
