The writer behind the Battle of the Thrones explained how the Japanese studio dragged him into shaping the background story of the Elden Ring.
George R.R. Martin a on his blog wrote that after a long time he was working in an incredible way but on his first video game. The writer admitted that this was not preferred for the entertainment genre, but when Miyazaki Hidetaka, the head of FromSoftware, approached him with an offer, it was too exciting for him to say no to him. (So it’s not just the mafia that has such an irresistible offer!)
Miyazaki and the FromSoftware team are doing tremendous things with their art of dropping animals, writes Martin. They said what they wanted: they expected the writer to build a little world so that a deep, dark, resonant world would serve as the basis for the game they planned. And Martin admitted that he loves to be a world-creating role, and he also refuses to write fictional history.
Martin doesn’t consider himself a player, but he doesn’t despise some of the classic games either: Railroad Tycoon, Master of Orion, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms also gave him good memories (and these are really older franchises, not exactly new IPs). it is about). He added that the work done by Elden Ring had been completed for several years, confirming that for the game, world building was really the starting point, and that was the only development that followed. He even described that it had nothing to do with the lyrics and dialogue of the Elden Ring, but Martin found the game to look amazing, so he was happy with the project…
So the Japanese studio has managed to get the writer out of his thoughts, from which FromSoftware could have benefited, and that’s why we could really call the collaboration between Martin and the Japanese a win-win situation. We will have to wait a little longer for this to happen the Elden Ring will be released on February 25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
