Elden Ring is one of the best-selling games of all time and FromSoftware's magnum opus. It's becoming such a big franchise that it's expected to expand into other media forms. Elden Ring is Japanese, like anime, so will there be an Elden Ring anime? Let's find out.
Description Elden Ring
Well, yes and no. As it stands, there is no official Elden Ring anime in development. FromSoftware even went the extra mile to purchase the rights to the Elden Ring IP from Bandai Namco, effectively halting any plans the publisher had for media expansions. So far, FromSoftware has not commented on whether they will be making anything, though company president Hidetaka Miyazaki did say that he would be open to a film adaptation with the right partners. George RR Martin has also hinted at a possible Elden Ring TV show or movie in the works.
On the other hand, there is actually a fan-made Elden Ring animation coming out this year. It’s made by SteinsAlter, who have done fanimations before. The creator posted a trailer for the anime on their X-page on July 8th, announcing that the project will go live this fall. The entire production will only be five minutes long, but given how good the animation in the trailer looked, I’d say it’ll be more than enough. Hopes for an actual adaptation remain high, and given the size of the Elden Ring IP, it would be foolish to leave things as they are.
