A little over a month ago, Elden Ring was launched, a creation of Hidetaka Miyazaki in collaboration with George RR Martin, creator of Game of Thrones. Martin’s role focused on the creation of a world, the characters that inhabit it, and an event; all this reflected in dozens of pages that he made available to the Japanese studio.
However, one of the most renowned and well-known writers in fantasy literature, Brandon Sanderson, who completed “The Wheel of Time” and wrote dozens of books such as “The Storm File”; He said he should have been chosen for the Elden Ring, not George RR Martin. Everything from a formal point of view and without discrediting the author, simply He was thrilled to work on a project like this
Sanderson already has his own Elden Ring in mind
In a recent show on his YouTube channelBrandon Sanderson said he was already working on his own “Soulsborne” and the publisher, Bandai Namco, was interested in collaborating with him.
They are interested in maybe doing something together, or so they say. I am too, in fact. That’s how I roll: I actually have a pitch for them in the back of my head… so maybe I should just send them my pitch and see what they think.
I always have a tone for everything. That is the question. Like, ‘if I ever had to make a Soulsborne game, what would I do?’ You know what happened when I thought, “I wondered what I would do if I ever wrote a Magic: The Gathering story?”
I spent four years developing a Magic: The Gathering story, so when Magic reached out to me and said, “Hey, you want to write a story?” I could say, ‘Yes, I already have one, and I’m going to write it down!’ And I did.
Fans of the author and FromSoftware would be delighted to see a joint collaboration, since if anyone knows how to make good Souls, it’s the Japanese studio. Sadly, if that finally happens, we won’t see it for many years.
