American fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson revealed in the live broadcast that Eldon Falun and Dark Souls distributor Bandai Namco have discussed possible future collaborations with him.
Sanderson is best known for Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive, and Children of the Mist also linked to Fortnite in May 2021.
He opened the package he received from Bandai Namco, publisher of "Eldon's Circle of Law" during this week's livestream. This large Eldon Ring of Law box contains a sword, a cloak, and peripherals to Other From Software games, as well as a note from Bandai Namco. Sanderson reads:
They are interested in possible cooperation, as it says. Actually, me too. Here's my way: actually I have a proposal for them in my head... So I'm going to send them my proposal and see what they think.
He then said that he had actually come up with a proposal for a soul game:
I always have my own plan for everything. That's it. For example, 'If I were to do a soul game one day, what would I do?' ’
You know this happened when I thought, 'If I write a Magic story, what would I do?' I spent four years designing the story of Magic, so when Magic contacted me, I said, 'Hey, do you want to write a story?' I can say, 'Yeah, I already have one and I'll write it!' And I did.
Again, I've been thinking, 'How could I do a soul game?' Obviously, I can't decide this question, can I? But I have this idea in my head, so maybe you'll hear something from me. I have some ideas... I always have ideas.
In fact, Sanderson had previously collaborated on "The Ring of Law in Eldon" with fantasy writer George W. Bush. R· R. Martin, who had commented on the collaboration, thought he should be invited because George W. Bush was the one to do so. R· R. Martin doesn't play games:
From Software decided to make a fantasy game and work with a fantasy novelist, right?
Did they choose someone who blogs about the NFL all day, rather than someone who has played their game since King's Field and has been listing their game in the top ten over time? Hey, what are you thinking?
Last year, Sanderson claimed he had been working on a game for "a few years" that he expected to be released that year, but didn't.
