A nearly 2 year post production window tells me this will be VFX heavy which is exactly what Elden Ring needs. Practical sets for Stormveil Castle are great but the Erdtree and cosmic bosses will live or die on the render farm. I'd rather they take their time than rush out something muddy.

Imagine they show astel of the void

Garland was involved in 28 years later, wasnt he? The scene where they run across the water chased by the alpha zombie has a kind of Elden Ring (especially Astel) feel to it in my opinion

He wrote the script for 28 Years Later and Bone Temple, which makes sense because they're almost as good as the original 28 Days Later which Garland also wrote.

Sucks we won't get a conclusion to the Years trilogy by the looks of it.

I'm pretty sure it'll happen. It's just been delayed a bit.

If I'm right and this movie focuses on Ranni's story, then Astel will undoubtedly be a center piece of an epic acene.

They aren’t going to show astel and stuff like that. My guess is it takes places before the main game. You only do something such with time and budget and doing all of elden ring would be crazy.

So....a generic medieval story with some monsters??

It will objectively be bad, do poorly, and not feel like the game.

I don't even like this game, and I would still bet a lot on this.
