A24 is making an Elden Ring film

Elden Ring is one of the biggest new IPs of this generation, with FromSoftware’s open-world action-RPG from 2022 scooping up countless Game of the Year awards while selling over 30 million copies. Given its success, it perhaps comes as little surprise that a film adaptation based on the game is now in the works – said to be distributed by A24.

As reported by the publication Deadline, director Alex Garland has been tasked with helming both the writing and directorial duties for the film adaptation of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring.

Little else is known about the film currently, aside from the fact that it will be distributed by A24 and its list of producers include Peter Rice; Andrew Macdonald; Allon Reich and George R. R. Martin of A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones fame.

Alex Garland, for context, has directed a number of well-known projects including 2014’s Ex Machina; 2018’s Annihilation and most recently 2025’s Warfare. As a writer, Garland has also worked in the video games space, having contributed to 2013’s DMC: Devil May Cry.

Elden Ring is not the first video game adaptation to come from this distributor, with Hideo Kojima’s upcoming Death Stranding film also being released by A24 – likely some time in 2027.

The narrative of Elden Ring (as with all FromSoftware games) is secondary to its lore, world and overall vibes. As such, it will be interesting to see how Garland and co. choose to adapt this game into a live-action medium.
