Rumour: Elden Ring Looks to Be Soley Owned by FromSoftware
Feb. 15, 2024Rumour: Elden Ring Looks to Be Soley Owned by FromSoftware
According to a trademark filing in the US and UK, FromSoftware is the sole owner of Elden Ring IP.
Being the sole owner means FromSoftware has full control over the future of the Elden Ring IP. Recently there have been rumours Tencent was interested in developing amobile title based on the game. The free to play game would apparently be similar to other major mobile titles such as Genshin Impact. This would also mean From would have their say on the vision of future Elden Ring projects.
FromSoftware has already announced plans for an expansion called Shadow of the Erdtree but has not announced when we can expect the DLC to drop. Of course, there has been lots of speculation about a release happening this month, which marks the second anniversary of the game. The DLC was also announced just one year after the release of Elden Ring. There have also been some murmurs ofSteam backend updates, which could indicate they readying something, but nothing has been confirmed by the developer.
Bandai Namco’s CEO Yasuo Miyakawa had previously expressed interest in “expanding beyond the realm of games” for the new IP which could mean many different possibilities. But with FromSoftware seemingly at the helm, it would be their decision to decide where to go. An Elden Ring film adaptation anyone? Who would you choose to playMalenia? Would G.R.R. Martin be involved in a screenplay adaptation? So many questions.
What exactly is in the expansion is currently unknown but could potentially have further content such as newweapons,armor,bosses,enemiesand even alocation. A brand new expansion could mean a further area to explore and expect plenty more lore to hit. None of this is confirmed of course and we’ll have to wait for the developer to spill the details as we draw closer to its launch. Since the title focuses on the Erdtree’s shadow, there could be more looming death in its wake.
