Miyazaki Open to Elden Ring Movie, But Won't Direct It

With the rising trend of video game adaptations in movies and TV, Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki has expressed openness to the possibility of turning FromSoftware titles like Elden Ring and Dark Souls into cinematic experiences. Although not opposed to adaptations, Miyazaki emphasizes his strength in storytelling through interactive mediums, suggesting that he prefers leaving movie and TV creation to professionals who excel in linear formats.

Miyazaki's comments come amid anticipation for the upcoming Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, which promises to conclude Miquella's story while inspiring new fan theories. The director highlights the importance of interactivity in his game design but acknowledges that the potential for cinematic adaptations is not out of the question.

Given the popularity and significant sales of Elden Ring, there is growing curiosity about whether this game will follow the footsteps of successful video game adaptations like the Super Mario Bros. Movie and the Fallout series.

While Miyazaki has not ruled out the possibility of an Elden Ring movie or TV show, he prefers focusing on creating interactive content and suggests that other professionals might be better suited for such adaptations.

Background: Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, is an action RPG that has captivated players with its expansive open world and intricate lore. The game has received universal praise for its deep gameplay mechanics and storytelling, making it a strong candidate for a potential cinematic adaptation.
