In June 2024, Elden Ring (2022) director Hidetaka Miyazaki said he was open to a "very strong partner" adapting the game to other mediums. Worldbuilding writer George R. R. Martin teased a film or television adaptation a few days later, playfully denying knowledge. Shortly thereafter, director Alex Garland privately shared his experience playing Elden Ring with A24's head of film, Noah Sacco, impressing him to support pursuing an adaptation. After Garland wrote a 160-page spec script, accompanied by forty pages of imagery, Sacco flew him to Japan to sign a deal with FromSoftware, the developer of the game.

In May 2025, a live-action film adaptation was announced to be in development at A24, with Garland hired to write and direct the film. Additionally, Kit Connor joined the cast. In July, Cailee Spaeny and Ben Whishaw joined the cast. In April 2026, the rest of the cast was announced.

Principal photography began in April 2026 on location in the United Kingdom, including Scotland. Filming of scenes in Iceland is set to take place in summer. The budget is stated to be well over $100 million dollars and filming is meant to last around 100 days.

Elden Ring is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 3, 2028 and in IMAX.
