A new interview about Sekiro appeared on Youtube, which also contains a part with some new information about Elden Ring: https://youtu.be/k_T_2LMf6m4?t=2320
It's in Japanese, but Reddit user cocoakoumori translated the part about Elden Ring:
A. Basically, I decide the thematic elements of the game first to develop the motifs and world view of the title. Now we're in development for a game called "ELDEN RING" which is larger and deeper than anything we've done before (..) history, or mythos, we feel we're challenging ourselves to make a game that deals with these two opposing [elements].
B. ELDEN RING has staff from the foreign drama "Game of Thrones" participating in development and the game has got a sort of "open-worlded-ness" to it with wide open areas where you can ride your horse and things, it seems there are scenes like that in the game so, well,... There's a feeling of a world here, I suppose, right?
C. True, well, this is one that I personally like and I think it's a very painful fantasy drama... There's pain there and from a human perspective there are themes of racism, politics, citizenship, and so on (...) So this is a work that is psychologically quote painful in a lot of ways and making a game with Miyazaki which such a huge world view.. on a world-level, everyone's looking forward to it so...
What I find worrying is the part "staff from the foreign drama "Game of Thrones" participating in development" and "themes of racism, politics, citizenship". Hopefully this doesn't mean current year politics and BLM talking points but rather racism between humans and various mythical races (similar to what we've seen in The Witcher) and politics that make sense within the new Miyazaki's fantasy world and have nothing to do with (((modern politics))).
What do you think, is Elden Ring going to be full of niggers and SJW politics, or am I being too paranoid and there's no reason to worry just yet. Hopefully we'll find out more sometime soon.

We have known for some time the fat hack George Martin was involved. At least as of 2019, Miyazaki is stated as responsible for the main story, and the useless shit was putting his "efforts" on the mythology. https://archive.ph/aPPX7
I expect Elden Ring to be pozzed by Japanese standards, just like how the Witcher games became more and more pozzed by Polish standards. As much as I enjoy Witcher 3, some dialogue and quest lines were pure left wing cringe.

Note that George Martin did not create the Game of Thrones TV series, the people who made the TV series basically made up things from season 4 to 8. So you can't blame George Martin for the woke shit.

The woke shit was in the novels.
Dorne.
Dany's entire character development of being sold off as a bride, raped, and then falling in love with the not-Saracen. And that was in book one.
Blondes being evil, incestuous bastards incarnate.
I can and will blame Martin for woke shit. Same as I blame Sapkowski for the woke shit in the Witcher novels.

Fair enough, I agree there were some odd choices that George made in the novels, though obviously not as egregious as the TV series.
