[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55405, member: 1"] Elden Ring publisher Bandai Namco has expressed interest in working with Mistborn and Wheel of Time author Brandon Sanderson – who'd seemingly like to work with developer FromSoftware in the same way George R.R. Martin did. In a a [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPj6VRnl3og&t=697s&ab_channel=BrandonSanderson']YouTube stream[/URL] spotted by [URL='https://www.pcgamer.com/bandai-namco-may-collaborate-with-another-american-fantasy-novelist-after-george-r-r-martin/']PC Gamer,[/URL] Sanderson unboxed an Elden Ring gift package from Bandai Namco that included a message saying the publisher was interested in working with him. Sanderson previously jokingly complained about developer FromSoftware working with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin over him, or as he put it "someone who spends his days blogging about the NFL rather than the person who has played their games since King's Field." During his YouTube stream, someone off-camera asked if the package was an apology for choosing Martin and Sanderson laughed saying "no, they should've hired George", but another off-screen voice told him to read the note that came with the gift. "They are interested in perhaps doing something together", Sanderson said. "I am as well. I actually have a pitch for them in the back of my head. So I may have to send them my pitch and see what they think." Sanderson likened the potential collaboration to his work for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game a few years ago, saying he'd already been working on a story before publisher Wizards of the Coast asked if he was interested in writing for them. He added: "I've been thinking of what I would do if I did a Soulsborne sort of game. Obviously I don't get to decide that but I have it in the back of my head. So maybe you guys will hear something from me. I have some ideas." The gift package was also sent from Bandai Namco to other influencers and media outlets but it's unclear if the specific note given to Sanderson was sent from FromSoftware (which has the most influence in the development process) or the publisher. While the Dark Souls trilogy and Elden Ring are published by and closely tied to Bandai Namco, other recent FromSoftware hits have seen different publishers including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice coming from Activision and Bloodborne from Sony. Sanderson's interest in gaming partnerships has already been made clear through [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fortnite-mistborn-collaboration']his collaboration with Fortnite last year[/URL], that saw his Mistborn character Kelsier arrive as a skin in the game. While [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-george-r-r-martin-miyazaki-writing']Elden Ring's story wasn't directly written by Martin.[/URL] he provided director Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/miyazaki-george-rr-martin-elden-ring-speaking-with-an-old-friend']samples of text that provided a backbone to the world,[/URL] including some of its history and important figures.
