Whether you are a lore scholar memorizing the names of the demigods, a content creator looking for the perfect voiceover, or a new player who skipped the cinematic by accident (go back and watch it!), this script is your first step into the Lands Between.
"The fallen leaves tell a story. The great Elden Ring was shattered. In our home, across the fog, the Lands Between. Now, Queen Marika the Eternal is nowhere to be found."
"The Greater Will has long renounced the demigods. Tarnished, who are you to stand before the Elden Ring?"
Few video game openings have captured the imagination of players quite like the cinematic prologue to Elden Ring . Written in collaboration with A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the "Elden Ring intro script" is not just exposition—it is a piece of dark poetry. It sets the stage for the Shattering, introduces the major demigods, and explains why the Lands Between have fallen into chaos.
"Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all."
