Since its release in February 2022, players have discovered many easter eggs in FromSoftware\u2019s open-world title such as the Berserk Greatsword and some Game of Thrones nods. But one that had the community in a debate was whether George RR Martin had deliberately hidden one in the game \u2013 and the novelist has finally cleared it up. George RR Martin responds to Elden Ring easter egg theory The rumor spread after Elden Ring players noticed a number of characters with names starting with \u2018G\u2019, \u2018R\u2019, and \u2018M\u2019 and started a discussion about whether the writer\u2019s initials were deliberately placed. George RR Martin laid the theory to rest on March 21, though, debunking it via a blog post on his website titled \u201cThis, That, and t\u2019Other Things.\u201d Read More: How to beat Fire Giant in Elden Ring &#8211; \u201cThere\u2019s a weird story all over the internet about how I \u201chid\u201d my initials in ELDEN RING because\u2026 ah.. some of the characters have names beginning with R, or G, or M,\u201d he wrote. \u201cTo which I say, \u201cEh?
