What is the Effort of George RR Martin in Elden Ring?

Elden Ring is a new game from FromSoftware Inc. It feels and is like the next era of Dark Souls games. Instead of publishing Dark Souls 4 developers decided to create a new game with a picturesque world and a deep and intriguing plot. With the last George RR Martin helped Elden Ring with. We will tell you in what way in this post.

George RR Martin is one of the most famous modern American novelists thanks to his series of novels called The Song of Ice and Fire. To tell you the truth the first book that has the title A Game of Thrones was published long ago in 1996. But it didn’t make a breakthrough. So Martin needed to continue his work. In the long run, HBO decided to make an adaptation for the screens in 2016 and that is how the whole world met with the universe of George RR Martin.

Due to this popularity and creative mind, Bandai Namco invited him to work on Elden Ring. We all understand now that Elden Ring is not like Game of Thrones at all, so what was the effort on Elden Ring from George RR Martin? Let’s discover now.

According to Hidetaka Miyazaki a Japanese creative director, designer, scriptwriter, and executive for the video game company FromSoftware:

We had many free and creative conversations… which Mr Martin later used as a base to write the overarching mythos for the game world itself…This mythos proved to be full of interesting characters and drama along with a plethora of mystical and mysterious elements as well,…It was a wonderful source of stimulus for me and the development staff. Elden Ring’s world was constructed using this mythos and stimulus as a base.

So the main job that FromSoftware asked from George RR Martin for Elden Ring was to write the background lore for each character. As well as the background story of the world. After that developers and scriptwriters used this work from creating the amazing world of Elden Ring.

Martin on his behalf had some comments on their fruitful cooperation as well.

Of course, almost all the credit should go to Hidetaka Miyazaki and his astonishing team of games designers who have been laboring on this game for half a decade or more, determined to create the best videogame ever…I am honored to have met them and worked with them, and to have played a part, however small, in creating this fantastic world and making Elden Ring the landmark megahit that it is.

In the gaming industry, professional writers cannot take a major part because it s a very different genre. But George RR Martine is a great person who can create wonderful worlds and atmospheres as well as create engaging and strong personalities. That was the main job he made for Elden Ring as well.

You didn’t have a chance to play the game yet, you find Elden Ring on Steam for example. It is worth trying.
