George R. R. Martin Reveals 'There Is Some Talk About Making a Movie Out of Elden Ring,' but There's One Big, Obvious Thing That Could Limit His Involvement With It – IGN Fan Fest 2025

George R.R. Martin has hinted at a potential Elden Ring movie, but acknowledges a significant hurdle to his involvement. The Game of Thrones author created the world and history for FromSoftware's best-selling game, a collaboration heavily featured in the game's marketing and opening credits. While sidestepping questions about a sequel, Martin confirmed discussions about an Elden Ring film adaptation during IGN Fan Fest 2025. This isn't the first such tease; FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki has also expressed openness to an adaptation, but only with a strong partner to handle production, as FromSoftware lacks the expertise in film production.

However, Martin revealed a major obstacle: his ongoing work on The Winds of Winter. The long-awaited sixth book in A Song of Ice and Fire series has faced years of delays, with Martin himself acknowledging the possibility it may never be completed. He candidly discussed the significant time commitment, stating his current focus remains on finishing the novel.

Martin detailed his contribution to Elden Ring, explaining his role in world-building for FromSoftware. He collaborated on the game's backstory, developing the history and lore that predates the game's present-day events, including elements of magic and runes. He described the collaborative process, involving multiple sessions with the FromSoftware team and subsequent reviews of their work. He confirmed that not all his created material was used in the game, suggesting further potential for future installments or adaptations. He drew parallels to Tolkien's extensive world-building, highlighting the vast amount of background material typically created for epic fantasy settings.
