From Software says ‘there’s interest’ in an Elden Ring adaptation

From Software president Hidetaka Miyazaki has said “there’s interest” in an Elden Ring adaptation.

The fantasy RPG is set in a world called The Lands Between, which was created in collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin.

It sees players take on the role of one of the Tarnished, individuals whose ancestors were exiled from The Lands Between many years ago. But when the Elden Ring is shattered, they get the chance to return and conquer the land they were once banished from.

“I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example,” Miyazaki, who also directed the game, told The Guardian.

“But I don’t think myself, or From Software, have the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium. So that’s where a very strong partner would come into play.

“We’d have to build a lot of trust and agreement on whatever it is we’re trying to achieve, but there’s interest, for sure.”

From Software claimed this month that Elden Ring has shipped over 25 million copies since its release in February 2022.

An Elden Ring expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, was released last Friday.

While Miyazaki recently ruled out making a second Elden Ring expansion, he has left the door open for a potential sequel.
