Alex Garland is a pretty good director. Ex Machina is one of my favourite films and Annihilation was a demonstration that he isn't so tied down by the source media, but does capture the spiritual essence of a book adaptation, at least.
He's a pretty proven writer and director and has written for video games before (DMC 2013). Elden Ring as a universe has a lot of interesting angles you could approach a story from. I think as an action souls game adaptation , it will be hard to avoid trying to please the two groups of people: one that wants a compelling narrative and another that just wants to see a big boss fight on screen.
