The Elden Ring video game is getting the Hollywood treatment. Bandai Namco and A24 have confirmed the adaptation will arrive in theaters on March 3, 2028, with filming set to begin in the coming weeks. Fans have been waiting over a year for an update since the project was first announced, and now they finally have a concrete release date to mark on their calendars.

The cast brings together an intriguing mix of rising stars and seasoned veterans. Kit Connor (Heartstopper), Ben Whishaw (Paddington), and Cailee Spaeny (Alien: Romulus) lead the ensemble, alongside Peter Serafinowicz, Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman, and Sonoya Mizuno. While the full cast is announced, the specific characters they'll portray remain under wraps. Alex Garland—fresh off directing Civil War—writes and directs, marking his first foray into fantasy after sci-fi hits like Ex Machina and Annihilation.

The timing places Elden Ring among major franchise releases, with two new Avengers and Star Wars films hitting theaters before it arrives. The game itself continues expanding this year through new DLC featuring armor sets, weapons, and skins. Garland's fantasy debut will face high expectations from both gaming enthusiasts and general audiences when it finally premieres in nearly two years.
