After the critical and commercial acclaim that Elden Ring saw, there was little doubt that the IP wasn’t going to fade into the background anytime soon, and sure enough, we’re continuing to see it major steps forward in its efforts to expand. Publisher Bandai Namco, for instance, has officially announced that it is developing a live action adaptation of the FromSoftware-developed action RPG in collaboration with producer A24.
The Elden Ring film will be directed by Alex Garland, best known as the director of Civil War and Warfare. Garland will also serve as writer on the film. A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, who wrote and crafted the lore for the Elden Ring game, will serve as a producer on the film. He will be joined by Vince Gerardis, as well as Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich from DNA.
Elden Ring is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It launches for the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime later this year, with a specific release date currently unannounced. A multiplayer spinoff, Elden Ring Nightreign, launches May 30.
