Brandon Sanderson, the fantasy and science fiction author that Soulsborne fans have been hoping could team up with FromSoftware in the future, has been trying his hand at Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, adding a bit more fuel to the fire to the hype of those hoping for a collaboration.
Sanderson is arguably best known for his Mistborn series, but his bibliography is enormous – he's also the author behind The Stormlight Archive series, as well as the final three books in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. FromSoftware fans really started talking about his potential involvement with a future project shortly after Elden Ring's launch, when he revealed that publisher Bandai Namco had reached out to him with some Elden Ring goodies, and a note to say "they are interested in perhaps doing something together." At the time, he confirmed "I am as well," and even revealed that he had a pitch ready to go in his head.
