A few months back, Elden Ring developers announced their partnership with legendary writer George R.R. Martin. They wanted the man to craft their story, as he was the best pick for it. He wrote the legendary Game Of Thrones series, so writing for Elden Ring made perfect sense. While Martin played a pivotal role in Elden Ring’s success, he recently baffled fans with a bizarre secret.

George R.R. Martin is one of the finest writers in the industry. He is an excellent craftsman for story building and has a knack for writing content filled with suspense and intrigue. George’s top work includes the fictional masterpiece GOT, which buzzed the top charts for years.

While George was busy doing what he did best, a Japanese company approached him to write for them. They wanted the writer to mold their story as he was a master of historical thrillers. And look how well that turned out. Fans appreciated every effort from the franchise, ranking the game far higher than others. However, Martin kept a game’s secret for months, finally revealing it on the late-night show with Stephen Colbert.

Apart from that, George seemed to be baffled about the development time, as he did not expect video games to take long. This was a bit ironic for the man as he took over ten years to write Game Of Thrones. In conversation with Stephen, he also said“So, I went back and wrote a history of what happened 5,000 years before the current game, and who all the characters were, and who was killing each other, and what powers they had.”
