Principal photography for the A24 Elden Ring movie has officially wrapped, according to reports and crew member communications [1, 2, 3].
The completion of filming marks a critical transition for the project as it moves from the set into post-production. Because the film is based on a complex, high-fantasy video game world, the wrap signals that the core visual and narrative elements have been captured for the screen.
News of the production milestone surfaced via a now-deleted Instagram post from prop artist Sean Schofield [1]. In the post, producers said they thanked the crew for their efforts in bringing the unique project to life [1, 3].
Filming for the production lasted six months [4]. This duration suggests a concentrated shooting schedule to capture the expansive environments characteristic of the source material.
The film is currently scheduled to be released in March 2028 [2]. While a specific release date has not been finalized, this window places the movie nearly two years away from the public.
IGN said that Elden Ring has officially completed principal photography following the social media update from Schofield [1]. The project represents a significant venture for A24, known for its indie and prestige cinema, as it tackles a massive intellectual property from the gaming industry.
Production teams now enter the editing and visual effects phase. Given the nature of the game's art direction, this stage is expected to be intensive to ensure the cinematic version matches the scale of the virtual world.
“The film is currently scheduled to be released in March 2028.”
The wrap of principal photography shifts the burden of production from physical sets to digital post-production. For A24, a studio typically associated with smaller-scale psychological or artistic films, the Elden Ring project is a test of their ability to manage a large-scale blockbuster. The 2028 release window suggests a lengthy post-production period, likely required to integrate the heavy visual effects necessary to translate the game's surrealist landscapes into a feature film.
