Production on the Elden Ring movie, directed and written by Alex Garland, is ongoing at Conwy Castle in North Wales, which has been closed for filming since April 2026 [1, 2]. The castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built between 1283 and 1287, serves as the primary filming location [2]. Videos shared by TikTok user mightbeliber show soldiers and guards atop the castle walls resembling early enemies from the Elden Ring game, suggesting a faithful recreation of the game's medieval fantasy setting [1, 2].
Although not definitively confirmed, it is believed the castle represents Stormveil Castle in the movie, depicting a time before the Shattering event central to the game's lore [1]. However, sources caution that the exact castle identity is debated, and the visuals from the leaked video do not conclusively prove the filming is for Elden Ring [1, 2].
The cast includes Cailee Spaeny, Nick Offerman, Kit Connor, and Ben Whishaw, all confirmed to be part of the project [1]. The production is described as partially a prequel to the Elden Ring game, expanding on the backstory of its world and characters [1, 2].
Conwy Castle’s role as a filming venue highlights its blend of historic architecture and cinematic appeal. Built nearly 750 years ago, the fortress has been adapted to stand in for a fantasy castle within the movie’s narrative [2].
The Elden Ring film is scheduled for release in IMAX theaters across the United States on March 3, 2028 [1]. The project aims to bring the dark fantasy universe created by FromSoftware to a wider audience through a large-scale cinematic experience.
Filming continues at Conwy Castle, with further scenes expected to be completed in the coming months as the production progresses.
