Some are worried about the storyline, given so much of Elden Ring's lore is implied and has chiefly been interpreted by the community.

this impressed player. "Go watch his video with [Last of Us creator] Neil Druckmann if you need any convincing that he will be as true as possible to the source material."

For now, plot, casting details, and a release date for the Elden Ring movie have yet to be announced, and fans are also speculating on that, too, including a
