The creators from FromSoftware sought the help of the famous author, George RR Martin, to create the world and heroes of Elden Ring<\/a>. The creator of Game of Thrones was sure to bring his flair to this new game, but recent news releases hint that many of George RR Martin\u2019s contributions were warped and twisted<\/strong>. But to what effect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elden Ring is set to be released on February 25<\/a> and was on the top of the Most Wanted list in the Golden Joystick Awards<\/strong> in 2021. From the developers that brought us Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, the newest release, Elden Ring, aims to create a much more open-world game than any of its predecessors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elden Ring is based on the Dark Souls universe, but knowing how important the story and worldbuilding for this game would be, Director Hidetaka Miyazaki got George RR Martin on board to help in the creation process<\/strong>. However, in a recent interview, Hidetaka Miyazaki announced that the world and heroes created by George RR Martin were before the shattering of the Elden ring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was up to the developers to interpret how this would affect the heroes and the world. The developers had to decide how the mad taint of the shattered shards would affect the universe. As such, they made some changes to the original heroes<\/strong> by distorting and misshaping them into monsters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it would appear that George RR Martin isn\u2019t too bothered<\/strong> by this change in his characters. He\u2019s been reported admiring how good the game looks<\/strong> on several occasions. Could this be due to the open-ended agreement between both parties?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hidetaka Miyazaki reported in another interview that from the start, George RR Martin wasn\u2019t hired to write the story for Elden Ring but rather create the basic world and histories<\/strong> that influence the game. This was also done in an unrestricted way to ensure that the author could give as much of his creative input as possible, with the developers having the same input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, it doesn\u2019t seem like there are any hard feelings about the changes that have been made. Could it be that we\u2019re looking at the perfect combination of all the best from Dark Souls and Game of Thrones in a new game? Exciting times await us as we count down to the game\u2019s release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
