Even though the majority of the creative work aroundElden Ring is to be attributed to Hidetaka Miyazaki and its teams, the promotion around the game never ceases to remind us that George R.R. Martin, famous author of the saga Game of Thrones, participated in the development of the universe, without us really knowing to what extent. The author sent a word about his work on the game in a new post on his blog, which tells us a little more about his involvement in the project.
The birth of a new world
On this new mood ticket, George RR Martin looks back on the birth of this rather unexpected collaboration:
« A few years ago, Hidetaka Miyazaki and her amazing team of game designers, the creators of the Dark Souls game series, contacted me from Japan to ask me to help them create a backstory and story for one. new game they were working on. »
The author then explains that his relationship to the world of video games is very limited apart from a few games like Railroad Tycoon Where Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but that he could not miss such an offer:
« Miyazaki and her team at FromSoftware were doing groundbreaking things with magnificent art direction, and what they wanted from me was just a little bit of building for this world: a deep, dark, resonant world to serve as the basis for the game they planned to create.. And I happen to like making worlds and writing stories. So I did my part and passed it on to my new friends in Japan, and they took over from there. And the years passed. Video games are as big as movies these days (bigger, actually) … and take just as long to create. But the day of Elden Ring is finally near. And I have to say it looks amazing. »
It is certainly not the fans of the game who are going to contradict this conclusion. While waiting to discover all the work done by this fine team, do not forget that spoilers are currently in the nature, and that it would be a shame to spoil the fun before the release.
Elden Ring will be available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series starting February 25, 2022. Please check out our latest preview of the game.
