FromSoftware’s latest dark-fantasy epic Elden Ring has been out for less than two months, but it’s already proven to be another landmark video game in the medium. The way it transcends what’s been considered the norm in games of its genre is akin to the impact the likes of Super Mario 64, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild had at the time of their releases.
Netflix’s Castlevania animated series was arguably the first great game adaptation, as what came before could only largely hope to be middling. The overall production value — from the writing, acting, art style, and animation — was top-notch in creating an engrossing universe filled with characters that have compelling story arcs.
The HBO and George R. R. Martin factors While the aforementioned ties to A Song of Ice and Fire scribe were a big marketing and selling point for Elden Ring’s new world, FromSoftware has had a great reputation and growing fan base for over a decade now that helped instill trust in fans for new IP. Martin had helped write the foundation for the lore and history of the Lands Between, with Miyazaki and the rest of his development team building on top of it.
HBO has a largely stellar reputation for creating quality TV projects and for attracting creative talent and giving them the liberty to craft something compelling. And disastrous final season aside, Game of Thrones proved that the premium network can more than handle profound and narratively dense fantasy stories.
