It has certainly been a big week when it comes to speculation aboutFrom Software’s next game. Indeed, the rumor of acollaboration between From Software and George R.R. Martinhas recently reemerged, with theGame of Throneswriter confirming that he “consulted on a video game out of Japan.” Reports have further indicated that this video game may be a forthcoming open world game calledGreat Rune, and a mysterious subreddit has just given further credence to this rumor.
Specifically, a “GreatRune” subreddit became active just two days ago with a single post that indicates that the forum will be dedicated to therumored From SoftwareGreat Rune. While the existence of aGreat Runereddit subforum is certainly not confirmation that the game will become a reality, the details surrounding the subreddit paint an interesting picture.
For example, theGreat Runereddit subforum was created nearly two years ago, on July 14, 2025. This information is indicated in the subreddit’s only post, which was created by the sole moderator, e_0, but it can also be confirmed independently. This can be done by visiting the about.json page for theGreat Runereddit subforum, locating the Unix timestamp after “created,” and converting this timestamp using a timestamp converter.
For clarity, this means that theGreat Runereddit subforum was created long before the rumors ofGreat Runebegan circulating this week, and the moderator teases that insider information prompted their creation of the subreddit. While there is the possibility that this moderator just happened to create the “GreatRune” subreddit with no connection toFrom Software’s new game, and that they are now having a bit of fun following the rumor of the From SoftwareGreat Rune, there is evidence that suggests otherwise.
Namely, the moderator of theGreat Runereddit subforum claims that they have previously acted as a moderator for theDark Souls,Dark Souls 2,Dark Souls 3, andBloodbornesubreddits. While not all of this moderation can easily be verified, this Redditor’s history of moderating theDark Soulssubreddit can be confirmed simply by checking their post history.
Thus, it is established that the “GreatRune” subreddit was created almost two years prior to the rumor of theFrom SoftwareGreat Runeemerging, and the sole moderator of the forum has a direct connection to previous From Software titles. This could all be a big coincidence, but it does appear to substantiate the claim that the new From Software game will beGreat Rune.
All of this said, the existence of aGreat Runereddit subforum does not offer any confirmation of the rumors surrounding what the game will be. However, some expect that the title will be theFrom Software E3 2019offering, which means that fans could have further details on the title in short order.
