Martin, known for his contributions to the game's mythology, will serve as a producer.

His gamer cred solidifies his capability to capture the essence of the game’s challenging combat and storytelling.
Garland's understanding of play is core to much of his work, making him an intriguing choice for adapting the challenging medieval world of Elden Ring.
Despite having no direct experience with fantasy epics, Garland’s extensive background in gaming narratives positions him well to translate Elden Ring’s complex themes.
