Well, hello gaming fans! If you know about the Elden Ring game, then you'll want to read this. The president of FromSoftware, Hidaketa Miyazaki, recently spoke to The Guardian. Guess what he said? He might be open to the idea of making Elden Ring into a movie. Exciting, right?
A Word from FromSoftware President
Reporting via the Video Games Chronicle, Miyazaki clarified that new adaptations of the game, which is a massive, open-world RPG, are entirely possible. Even though he didn't make any official announcement about this, he does seem to believe that a film or a TV series based on the Lands Between, where Elden Ring takes place, would need talents beyond his scope.
What Miyazaki said exactly to The Guardian was, “Why should we deny another interpretation of Elden Ring, like a movie?” But, he mentioned that he or his company doesn't have the ability to transform something into a different medium. He believes this is where a strong partner comes into picture. I agree with him, don't you?
What's the Big Deal About Elden Ring?
Elden Ring has captivated the gaming world. The game is full of dark themes, deep lore, and a vast scope. The journey of the Tarnished, those banished from the Lands Between by Queen Marika the Eternal, is a core aspect of the game. But, here's the thing – distilling this journey into a film or TV series isn't as simple as it sounds.
Picture this: you would need a super talented team who could spend years making a film or TV series worth it. And then, there's the decision of whether to use live-action or animation as a medium. What do you think? I, personally, think an animated adaptation, similar to the style of Castlevania, would work better.
Elden Ring's Success So Far
Elden Ring is no small presence in the gaming world. FromSoftware confirmed that it has sold a whopping 25 million copies. This makes it one of the most successful games of this generation. Currently, I am exploring the Erdtree DLC and I barely managed to outpace the Dancing Lion.
The concept of FromSoftware adapting the game is exhilarating. But, they would need to give the project the time, talent, and effort it deserves to equal the game's quality. It might be easier to conquer Radahn at first go than find the right team for this job!
