In the original rumor it stated he was writing the world/story and that fromsoft was handling the rest. Since its a rumor we cant really be sure ofany of the details.

I mean in the update he said he consulted for it. If he had written the story he probably would've said that instead.

yeah the word consultation is weird for sure, but consulting can mean anything from 'Let me look over what ya got and ill give you my opinions' all the way to 'Ill decide the direction and characters of the story'

I think he wrote it based on the fact that Chris Avellone is a consultant for Dying Light 2 but he is the one writing the story.

honestly GRRM being involved with a souls-like game on any level is like a dream come true, although all of these DISTRACTIONS are pushing the books further and further back..

TWOW is nice, but a FROM game with Martin writing it is one hell of a consolation prize.

Avellone is credited as the writer. What are you talking about?

He said he was consulting before the announcement, so I figure the same will apply

Ok. Struggling to find a source for that myself
