FromSoftware Open to Transmedia Adaptation of Elden Ring
"Foul Tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring. Emboldened by the flame of ambition".
Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree is so hot right now that it seems to be all anyone is playing. Considering the incredible 25 million copies the base game sold, it should be unsurprising.

Director Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed "there's interest" in a potential film or TV adaptation.
That's according to comments made in an interview with The Guardian (thanks VGC), where Miyazaki said: "I don’t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie, for example. But I don’t think myself, or FromSoftware, have the knowledge or ability to produce something in a different medium. So that’s where a very strong partner would come into play.
