“It’s astonishing to see just how many people have been playing Elden Ring. I’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the entire development team. Elden Ring is based on a mythological story written by George R. R. Martin. We hope players enjoy a high level of freedom when adventuring through its vast world, exploring its many secrets and facing up to its many threats. Thank you for your continued support.”
Yasuo Miyakawa, President and CEO of Bandai Namco, added the following:
“I would like to use this opportunity to give my thanks to all our fans who have brought Elden Ring into their gaming life. I am very proud to have been involved in bringing such a wonderful and fantastic game to life with FromSoftware, under the guidance of Director Miyazaki, and with George R. R. Martin.”
The press release also teases that we’ll see more from the world of Elden Ring. FromSoftware mentions that they hope to expand both the game’s characters and other intellectual properties beyond just the realm of games. Could this mean books, comics, and television shows? It’s not out of the realm of possibility.
