Could an Elden Ring anime be on the way? In a press release that also revealed that the RPG game had sold over 12 million copies worldwide, publisher Bandai Namco says that it's taking the franchise and "expanding beyond the realm of games" - which may mean Elden Ring novels, comics, anime, or possibly even live-action tie-ins.
Elden Ring isn't just one of the best open-world games on PC, it's also now confirmed to be a highly successful one. In its first three weeks, it's sold over 12 million copies worldwide, and in Europe, nearly half of its sales came from the PC version.
Bandai Namco's English press release calls this "a fantastic start for the new franchise", suggesting that the publisher is already planning on expanding the series. The Japanese press release - which is also available in English - specifically notes that fans can "look forward to more of Elden Ring as an IP (characters and other intellectual property) in hopes of expanding beyond the realm of games".
