Will Elden Ring film be 'awesome' or 'meh'? Fans have thoughts

Fans have reacted with a mixture of excitement and caution to the news that hit game Elden Ring is to be made into a live-action film.

The epic dark fantasy game will be adapted by Alex Garland, who is known for movies like Ex Machina and Warfare, along with US entertainment company A24.

"I am very excited," said TikToker Blue Thunder, adding that he hopes it will stay faithful to the game. Grant Greenly added on TikTok: "All the lore, all the action, all the Elden lords, all the fights… it's more than we could ask for. This is going to be awesome."

However, gaming journalist Christopher Dring, host of the Games Business Show podcast, told the BBC that "translating something like Elden Ring is no small feat".
