Elden Ring movie date
- A24 has given the Elden Ring movie a release date of March 3, 2028, ahead of some platform ports.

A24 and Bandai Namco have set the live-action *Elden Ring* movie for theaters on March 3, 2028. (variety.com) The film is written and directed by Alex Garland, and Bandai Namco said production begins in spring 2026. The companies also said it is being filmed for IMAX. (deadline.com) Kit Connor and Ben Whishaw lead the cast, with Cailee Spaeny, Tom Burke, Jonathan Pryce, Nick Offerman and Havana Rose Liu also announced this week. Variety reported the full cast reveal alongside the date. (variety.com) The movie is moving on a faster public timetable than some game-release details around the same property. Bandai Namco announced *Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition* for Nintendo Switch 2 in April 2025, but official pages still list only a broad 2025 or 2026 window, depending on region, rather than a firm launch day. (bandainamcoent.com, fromsoftware.jp, en.bandainamcoent.eu) That sequencing stands out because *Elden Ring* is still primarily a game business. Bandai Namco and FromSoftware said in April 2025 that the title had passed 30 million units in worldwide shipments and digital sales. (gematsu.com, bandainamcoent.com) The adaptation itself is not new. A24 and Bandai Namco first announced the project on May 22, 2025, saying Garland would direct a live-action version of FromSoftware’s fantasy role-playing game. (bandainamcoent.com, bandainamcoent.co.jp) The source material launched on February 25, 2022, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with a world created by game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and novelist George R. R. Martin. That collaboration helped turn *Elden Ring* into one of FromSoftware’s biggest global hits. (bandainamcoent.com, gematsu.com) For now, the clearest date on the calendar is the movie’s. The game side still has another *Elden Ring* release on the way for Nintendo Switch 2, but the first fixed appointment is now a theater opening on March 3, 2028. (variety.com, en.bandainamcoent.eu)
