Brandon Sanderson Plays Elden Ring DLC, Fueling Collaboration Speculation

Brandon Sanderson, a well-known fantasy and science fiction author, has recently been exploring the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC for Elden Ring, sparking rumors of a potential collaboration with FromSoftware. Sanderson, famous for his Mistborn and Stormlight Archive series, has caught the attention of Soulsborne fans who are eager to see what the future may hold.

Sanderson, not only an accomplished writer but also a dedicated gamer, took on Elden Ring’s latest DLC content during a recent streaming session. Impressively, he managed to defeat both a challenging optional boss and a major story boss within a short timeframe. Despite starting the DLC with a lower-level character than recommended, Sanderson showcased his gaming skills and made significant progress.

While Sanderson’s gameplay of the Elden Ring DLC is exciting for fans, it does not confirm any collaboration with FromSoftware. However, director Hidetaka Miyazaki hinted in a recent GameSpot interview that the studio is open to working with other prominent creators on future projects. This notion, paired with Miyazaki’s positive remarks about collaborating with George R. R. Martin for Elden Ring, raises the possibility of a potential partnership with Sanderson.

Sanderson’s interest in the gaming industry is not new, as he previously contributed to the lore and world-building of Moonbreaker, a turn-based strategy game developed by Unknown Worlds Entertainment. This indicates that Sanderson is not only a fan of games but also willing to lend his creative talents to enhance the gaming experience.

As speculation continues to swirl about a potential collaboration between Brandon Sanderson and FromSoftware, fans eagerly anticipate what the future may hold. Sanderson’s foray into the Elden Ring DLC has added fuel to the fire of excitement surrounding the possibility of these two creative powerhouses joining forces to create something truly exceptional in the gaming world. As Sanderson continues to explore new horizons in the realm of gaming, the possibilities seem endless for what collaborations and projects he may undertake next.
