As the game of the year of 2022, Elden Ring deserves the title. Players will never forget the experience of exploring this land full of mystery, danger, and violence. Players need to understand what happened in this land while repairing Elden Ring.
As the creator of the background of the game Elden Ring, George RR Martin said in a recent interview that the movie of Elden Ring is likely to be released. He admitted that he was involved in the planning of the film, but the adaptation of the film into a game encountered great obstacles.
As the creator of Soul series, from Demon’s Soul to Dark Soul, from Bloodborne to Sekiro, the background of the game has always been controlled by Hidetaka Miyazaki. Elden Ring is the only time that Hidetaka Miyazaki did not create the story, but invited George RR Martin to create the background of the game. Some players questioned that Martin’s role in the creation of Elden Ring was minimal. Insignificant. They just wanted Martin’s name to make more headlines before the release and attract ordinary players.
But Martin definitely contributed to the background design of the game. The story of Elden Ring often contains incest and great characters, which is exactly the same as the chaotic background of Elden Ring. Even as a player, when I think of the relationship between Radagon, Marika, Godfrey, and Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon, I feel a mess, which is undoubtedly Martin’s handwriting.
But whether this movie can be released is still a question mark. Elden Ring inherits the obscure narrative of Soul series as always. Many players are often confused after playing the game and don’t know what happened. How to convert this type of game into a movie and put it on the big screen is undoubtedly a challenge. Instead of compressing the grand background of Elden Ring into a few hours of movie, it may be a wiser choice to put Bloodborne on the big screen.
On the other hand, Martin is still writing the sixth part, The Winds of Winter. The fifth part, A Dance with Dragons, was published 14 years ago. Martin did not reveal when he would finish the sixth part. But he joked that he might not be able to finish it until the day he died.
As far as Martin’s procrastination is concerned, he probably doesn’t have the energy to adapt Elden Ring. Therefore, the release of Elden Ring is still a long way off. Instead of waiting for the release of Elden Ring movie, it’s better to ask Miyazaki if he has prepared his next work.
