Elden Ring is getting a live-action film from A24, and the project now has a release date: March 3, 2028. A24 announced the adaptation on May 22, 2025, and Bandai Namco confirmed it on May 23, 2025, with the movie set to reach theatres in 2028.

That matters because this isn’t just another vague licensing play. With Alex Garland directing and George R. R. Martin producing, the film already has names that carry real weight, and the leaked set material suggests A24 isn’t treating this like a cheap fantasy tie-in. For players who care about Elden Ring’s lore, the big question is whether the movie can tell a story that stands on its own without trampling the game’s timeline.
About Elden Ring
FromSoftware developed Elden Ring, and Bandai Namco published it as a 2022 action RPG. The film adaptation sits with A24, DNA Films, and Bandai Namco Filmworks, which tells you the project has both indie-film muscle and direct publisher involvement. That combination usually means more control over tone and lore, and less chance of the movie drifting away from the source material for no reason.
Garland’s involvement also gives the adaptation a clearer identity than most game movies get. According to the article, he delivered a 160-page-long screenplay to FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki in Japan, which suggests this wasn’t a quick pitch and pray job. If Miyazaki signed off on that draft, the film likely has at least some of the game’s tone and structure baked in from the start.
