Elden Ring Aims To Conquer The Big Screen in 2028

Taking on Elden Ring is going to be a challenge in itself, considering how massive the original title was, as the game primarily focuses on exploring a vast land and taking out major bosses along the way. The game's primary story focuses on you playing the role of a "tarnished" warrior with a murky past, who is now on their own pseudo quest to become the Elden Lord. It has great potential to be an epic story, but it also could end up flopping if done incorrectly. With A24 taking care of it, the odds of failure are less likely, but you never can tell with video game movies.
