George R.R. Martin hints at a potential Elden Ring movie, but his involvement remains uncertain. The acclaimed author, known for creating the world of Game of Thrones, played a significant role in developing the lore for FromSoftware's Elden Ring, a 2022 bestseller. While dodging questions about a potential sequel, Martin confirmed discussions regarding a film adaptation during IGN Fan Fest 2025.
This isn't a new suggestion; FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki has previously expressed openness to an adaptation, but only with a strong collaborative partner due to FromSoftware's lack of experience in film production.
However, Martin himself acknowledges a major obstacle: his ongoing work on The Winds of Winter, the long-awaited sixth book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. The significant delay on this novel, spanning over a decade, limits his availability for other projects. Martin's comments reflect the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the book's completion.
Martin detailed his contribution to Elden Ring's world-building, explaining his collaboration with FromSoftware in establishing the game's rich history preceding the present-day events. He created extensive background material, focusing on the magic and runes, thousands of years prior to the game's timeline. He described the iterative process, where FromSoftware would incorporate his ideas and then present their interpretations, which he found impressive.
While a significant portion of his work was integrated into the game, Martin suggests there's still unused material that could potentially be incorporated into future projects, echoing the vast lore found in works like Tolkien's.
