After months of speculation, Bandai Namco has officially confirmed that it will be collaborating with acclaimed production company A24 to produce a live-action movie adaptation of Elden Ring, the award-winning action-RPG developed by FromSoftware.
Elden Ring, which launched in 2022 to widespread critical acclaim and won multiple Game of the Year awards, has since become a cultural phenomenon in the gaming world. Now, fans’ dreams are becoming reality as the fantasy epic makes its leap to the big screen.
A24 and Alex Garland Take the Lead
Bandai Namco announced via Twitter/X that A24, known for visually rich and emotionally intense films like Midsommar, The Lighthouse, and Uncut Gems, will be producing the movie. The project will be helmed by Alex Garland, the acclaimed writer-director of Ex Machina and Annihilation.
With A24’s reputation for bold storytelling and Garland’s experience with complex, atmospheric narratives, the team behind the Elden Ring movie is raising expectations across both gaming and film communities.
The George R.R. Martin Spark
Speculation about a movie began earlier this year when George R.R. Martin, co-creator of Elden Ring’s lore, mentioned the idea of a film adaptation in a February 2025 interview. Though things went quiet for a while, this new confirmation has reignited interest and enthusiasm among fans.
What to Expect from the Adaptation
While no plot details have been revealed, fans are eager to see which aspects of the Lands Between will be explored in the film. Will it follow the journey of the Tarnished, delve into the shattered history of the Erdtree, or focus on the demigods who vie for power after the Elden Ring was broken?
With such a deep and layered world, the possibilities for adaptation are endless. Fans on social media are already speculating which iconic bosses or locations—like Radahn, Leyndell, or Ranni the Witch—will make the cut.
Why This Matters
The Elden Ring movie is part of a broader trend of high-quality video game adaptations, following the success of titles like The Last of Us (HBO), Arcane (Netflix), and Fallout (Prime Video). With its acclaimed narrative foundation and deep lore, Elden Ring is well-positioned to thrive as a cinematic experience.
When Will It Be Released?
As of now, there is no official release date, but production is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026. Fans should stay tuned for casting announcements and trailer releases in the coming months.
