In a recent entry on hisofficial blog,George R. R. Martinhas all but confirmed there will be either a movie or television adaptation ofElden Ringin the future. TheGame of Thronesauthor is no stranger to speculative writing, with aparagraph in his blog deliberately over-denying the strongElden Ringadaptation rumorsthat have been swirling for some time. The blog reads, “Oh, and about those rumors you may have heard about a feature film or television series based on Elden Ring… I have nothing to say,” he said. “Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumor?”
Of course, Martin is not the creator of theElden Ringvideo game, with the action role-playing adventure directed byHidetaka Miyazaki. However,Martin is credited with the game’s worldbuilding, with an expansive, immersive world forged from the mind of one of the fantasy genre’s very best. If an adaptation is to arrive, which now feels more likely than not, then Martin will likely be heavily involved given his acute understanding of the world itself. TheElden Ringvideo game has received universal praise since its arrival, with critics and fans alike hailing it as a modern masterpiece. Given the currenthot streak of video game to film and TV adaptations,Elden Ringfeels like a logical next step, especially considering the involvement of Martin.
Even Miyazaki Has Announced His Admiration for a Potential Adaptation
Given the strong love forElden Ring, and, in particular, its ability to craft an ambitious yet grounded world, the cries for a TV or movie adaptation have been consistent. In an interview withThe Guardian, director Miyazaki addressed the rumors, suggesting that he has afond interest in a potential adaptation going into development. Miyazaki said, “I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation ofElden Ring, a movie for example. But I don’t think myself, or FromSoftware, have the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium. So that’s where a very strong partner would come into play.” Exactly who that “very strong partner” is remains to be seen, but, given the comments made by Miyazaki and now Martin,fans can safely assume that the wheels are at least in motion for the next big video game adaptation.
