Bandai Namco confirms Elden Ring Movie is in the works

Bandai Namco Entertainment announced on Thursday evening that they are partnering with A24 and writer and director Alex Garland for an Elden Ring movie. This will bring FromSoftware’s iconic title to life as a live-action film.

The company did not announce anything specific, such as the cast and a theater release. All they said was. “We’re truly excited to bring the world of Elden Ring to fans in a new form, outside the game. Stay tuned. The path ahead is only beginning.”

In June 2024, FromSoftware shared that there was interest in making an Elden Ring movie. In the modern era of video games, almost any popular game is now expected to get its own movie, with the success of Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Five Nights at Freddy’s, Detective Pikachu, and others.

Elden Ring has continued to grow, and this month players will be able to hop into Elden Ring Nightreign, a co-op multiplayer PVE experience releasing on May 30 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC.

FromSoftware and Bandai Namco will bring Elden Ring Tarnished Edition to the Switch 2 this year, which will bring even more sales to the series. A release date for the game on Switch 2 has not been announced yet.
