One of the strengths of Elden Ring has been the collaboration with George R. R. Martin when creating the world of the Midlands. the author of Song of ice and fire laid out a foundation for the mythology of From Software’s title and from that point on Hidetaka Miyazaki began to shape through his vision.
There are many theories that can be created around Márika, the Elden Circle and all the plots that Elden Ring opens, but in PC Gamer They noticed a small detail. If we take the initials of the four demigods in the game, Godfrey, Rennala, Radagon, Marika, we have the novelist’s own initials. A wink that has been taken for real until Martin himself has spoken about it.
In a blog entry, George RR Martin recounts the arrival of his new book The Rise of the Dragon, framed in the history of the Targaryen dynasty. In that same publication he has dedicated a paragraph to actually explain if the theory about his initials is true or not:
Oh, and while I’m putting things together, there’s a weird story all over the internet about how I “hid” my initials in Elden Ring because… oh… some of the characters have names that start with R, or G, or M., to which I say: “Huh? What? Really?” This was new to me. I’ve been writing and publishing stories since 1971, and I suspect from the beginning I’ve given the characters names that begin with R and G and M. And also with the other twenty-three letters of the alphabet. Thinking of names is hard, especially since I use a lot of them in A Song of Ice and Fire, and I like to give family members and close relatives names that have something in common… but really, why would I have to hide my name in the game? My name is right there in the game, as one of the creators. Hey, Elden Ring is exciting enough, no need to make things up.
That’s right, it seems that the theory had a chance of being real, but George RR Martin has knocked her to the ground with a stroke of the pen. He himself explains that he has no need to play tricks by hiding his name somewhere in Elden Ring, since he appears directly in the credits.
Meanwhile, the players do not cease in their battle to discover secrets. One of them consists of a false wall that disappears after making numerous hits, while an exploit in the PC version can cause an infinite loop of death if we are invaded.
