George R.R. Martin doesn’t dare go anywhere near ‘Elden Ring’

Recently appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, George R.R. Martin was asked if he’d played Elden Ring, the universally acclaimed masterpiece by FromSoftware that utilized the author’s worldbuilding chops to expand the lore of the Lands Between. In response, he said that he doesn’t dare do that as a once video game addict, especially since “people seem to want this Winds of Winter book.”

“I did play video games a long, long time ago,” he said, per PCGamer. “I played games like Railroad Tycoon, Master of Orion, and Homeworld. I would get sucked into it. Weeks and months would go by, and I’d be sitting there in my red flannel bathrobe saying ‘One more game! One more game!'”
