Rumours about an Elden Ring movie or TV show have just got a lot louder as George R.R. Martin has hinted that he’s personally involved.

There’ve been video game movies around for over three decades now but it’s strange to think that it’s Sonic The Hedgehog, of all things, that finally and both (relatively) high quality and authentic to the original games.

In any case, he congratulated From on the award and then made then added the following paragraph to his blog:

‘Oh, and about those rumours you may have heard about a feature film or television series based on Elden Ring… I have nothing to say. Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumour?’
