The much-anticipated live-action adaptation of the iconic video game, Elden Ring, is officially in the works. This exciting project is being spearheaded by the acclaimed writer and director Alex Garland, known for his compelling storytelling in films like Ex Machina and Civil War. Dive deeper to uncover more about this upcoming cinematic venture and what fans can expect!
Elden Ring's journey from the gaming world to the big screen has been confirmed by Bandai Namco Entertainment and the renowned American film company A24. Alex Garland, celebrated for his visionary approach in cinema, is set to bring the epic world and intense action of Elden Ring to life. The project is in capable hands, with production led by Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich from DNA Films, alongside George R. R. Martin, the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire, and Vince Gerardis, co-executive producer of Game of Thrones. While it remains unclear whether Hidetaka Miyazaki, the president of FromSoftware and director of Elden Ring, will be involved, anticipation is high.
Details such as the plot and casting are still under wraps, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more announcements that could come at any moment.
While the live-action film may still be on the horizon, the Elden Ring video game franchise continues to thrive with new releases. Launched in 2022, the original Elden Ring quickly established itself as a juggernaut, selling over 13.4 million copies in just five weeks. By April 2025, the game celebrated surpassing 30 million copies sold worldwide, a testament to its enduring popularity and the dedication of its players, affectionately known as the Tarnished. It has also garnered over 324 Game of the Year awards, making it one of the most acclaimed titles in video game history. The 2024 DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, has similarly captivated players.
FromSoftware is not slowing down, with two new releases set for 2025. The first, Elden Ring Nightreign, is a cooperative action game set in the new realm of Limveld, where players become Nightfarers tasked with thwarting the rise of the Nightlord. This spinoff retains the essence of the original Elden Ring while offering a fresh multiplayer experience, set to launch on May 30th for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The second release, Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, will be available on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This comprehensive edition includes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, four new armor sets, and customization options for the three variants of Torrent, the Spectral Steed. While not a launch title for the new console, it promises to bring the Elden Ring experience to Switch 2 enthusiasts soon.
