In July, Game of Thrones writer George R.R. Martin – who created the initial world and plot for Elden Ring –teased a possible film or TV adaptation of the game.

Martin noted that the game was given the Nebula Award for Game Writing by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association, saying: “I did the worldbuilding for that project, Hidetaka Miyazaki and his team did all the rest.”

Unprompted, he then appeared to tease: “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. Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumor?”
