FromSoftware Has No Plans for Elden Ring 2, but Has Multiple Projects in Development, Says Hidetaka Miyazaki
Elden Ring, the action-RPG phenomenon from developer FromSoftware, has won numerous accolades, sold over 25 million copies and has continued to attract thousands of players nearly three years after its launch. The studio released a long-awaited story expansion to the game, Shadow of the Erdtree, earlier this year. But FromSoftware has no plans to follow-up the game's success with a sequel.

The game director, however, left the door open for future pieces of media within the Elden Ring IP in some form. “I would like to tell you that we are not ruling out the development of the IP ‘Elden Ring' in some form in the future,” Miyazaki said.
His comments echo the sentiments of fantasy writer George RR Martin, who helped build the world of Elden Ring. Back in July, Martin had teased the possibility of a film or TV adaptation of the game. “Oh, and about those rumors you may have heard about a feature film or television series based on ELDEN RING… I have nothing to say,” Martin had said in his blog. “Not a word, nope, not a thing, I know nothing, you never heard a peep from me, mum mum mum. What rumor?”
