Filled with new content and plenty of challenging boss fights, the DLC kept players coming back to the game. The renewed focus on Elden Ring following the critical and commercial success of the new expansion has sparked talk of a film or TV adaptation. Game director Hidetaka Miyazaki has reportedly spoken about existing “interest” in an Elden Ring adaptation following the release of Shadow of the Erdtree. Now science fiction writer George R.R. Martin, who helped create the world of Elden Ring, has hinted at the possibility of a movie or TV show based on the game.

Elden Ring Adaptation Announced

IN Blog Post published June 29, the author hinted at a film adaptation of Elden Ring, enthusiastically feigning ignorance of the possible project. “Oh, and those rumors you may have heard about a feature film or TV series based on ELDEN RING… I don’t have much to say,” Martin said. “Not a word, no, nothing, I don’t know anything, you never heard a sound from me, mommy-mommy. What rumor? – he added.

Martin’s coy suggestions follow an admission from FromSoftware president and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki that he wouldn’t mind seeing the game adapted for another medium. interview In an article by The Guardian published after the release of Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Miyazaki said: “I see no reason to deny the possibility of another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, such as a film.

“But I don’t think that myself or FromSoftware have the knowledge or the ability to produce in another environment. So that’s where a very strong partner would come in. We’d have to build a lot of trust and agreement on what we’re trying to achieve, but there’s certainly interest,” he added.

Nebula Award for Elden Ring

Martin, whose epic fantasy novels in the A Song of Ice and Fire series were adapted into the HBO television series Game of Thrones, helped FromSoftware write the world and story of Elden Ring. In his blog post, he also thanked the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association for presenting them with a Nebula Award for game writing on Elden Ring last year. “I did the worldbuilding for this project; Hidetaka Miyazaka [sic] and his team did the rest. We were both awarded trophies,” the writer wrote on his blog.

The Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion was released on June 21 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. Since its launch, it has become the highest-rated DLC on Metacritic, although the game has received some criticism from players due to its high degree of difficulty.
