If you're a fan of Elden Ring, here’s some exciting news: the game is getting a live-action film adaptation! Confirmed by publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and American film company A24, this project marks a significant milestone for the franchise. Renowned screenwriter and director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) will helm the project, aiming to bring the rich lore and thrilling action of Elden Ring to the big screen. Produced by Peter Rice, Andrew Macdonald, and Allon Reich from DNA Films, along with Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin and co-executive producer Vince Gerardis, the film is generating buzz among fans worldwide.
While details about the plot and casting remain under wraps, anticipation is high. It’s unclear whether FromSoftware president and Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki will be involved in the production, but his influence on the game’s universe is sure to resonate in the film.
Elden Ring Continues to Shine in 2025
Even as the live-action adaptation progresses, the Elden Ring franchise remains robust. Since its debut in 2022, the game has sold over 30 million copies globally, proving its status as a cultural phenomenon. Its critically acclaimed 2024 DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, further solidified its legacy, earning praise alongside the main game. With over 324 Game of the Year awards under its belt, Elden Ring continues to dominate the gaming industry.
Upcoming Releases to Look Forward To
Fans can rejoice as FromSoftware prepares not one but two new projects for 2025. First, Elden Ring Nightreign, a cooperative action game set in the realm of Limveld, introduces players to the Nightfarers, warriors tasked with preventing the rise of the Nightlord. Featuring revamped mechanics tailored for multiplayer experiences, Nightreign launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on May 30th.
Additionally, the Elden Ring Tarnished Edition for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive later this year. This comprehensive version includes the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, four new armor sets, and customization options for Torrent, the spectral steed. While not a launch title for the Switch 2, it ensures players can dive into the world of Elden Ring on the latest platform.
