Dark Souls 3 Soul of Cinder Statue Confirmed for 2027

Dark Souls fans will have a new official release to watch in 2027, but it is not the long-awaited sequel or spin-off many players want. First 4 Figures has announced a Definitive Edition statue based on Dark Souls 3’s Soul of Cinder, priced at $359.99 and expected to launch in the third quarter of 2027. Pre-orders are already available, with a temporary $20 discount reducing the price to $339.99.

What happened

The statue recreates the Soul of Cinder during the Dark Souls 3 boss encounter, showing the character with the Firelink Greatsword and a base modeled after the battle arena. The design uses exaggerated proportions while retaining the major visual details associated with the final boss.

The more expensive Definitive Edition is built around its lighting effects. Flames appear on the Soul of Cinder’s head and sword, while an additional ring of flames surrounds the figure’s base. These effects use LED functionality. Each statue also includes randomly assigned limited-edition numbering and an authentication card.

First 4 Figures lists the piece at 9.06 inches tall, 10.63 inches wide, and 9.25 inches deep. Its weight is 2.1 kilograms, including the larger base.

Why it matters

The announcement lands in a franchise that has been without a new mainline game since Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls helped establish the modern Soulslike formula, built around punishing combat, frequent deaths, limited save-point placement, and demanding boss encounters. That design legacy continues to influence games, but it has not produced a new Dark Souls title from FromSoftware.

For fans, the statue is a substantial piece of merchandise rather than a replacement for a new game. Its price reflects the added lighting system, the larger base, and the edition-specific collectibles. A cheaper Exclusive Edition is listed at $269.99, but it does not include the LED flame ring around the figure.

The franchise is also receiving another non-game release in September: Dark Souls: Redemption Volume 3, a manga published by Yen Press. That gives the series some continued visibility, although neither release signals a return to interactive Dark Souls gameplay.

What to watch next

The key date for the statue is Q3 2027, while the current pre-order discount brings the Definitive Edition below its listed price. Buyers should compare the two editions carefully, particularly if the external flame ring and illuminated effects are the main reason to upgrade.

There is still no source-backed indication that FromSoftware is preparing another Dark Souls game. The studio has other projects in development, and Elden Ring’s success represents the latest evolution of its Souls formula. That makes any future franchise announcement difficult to predict, but this statue should be treated as a collectible release, not evidence of a new game.

For now, fans can track the statue’s pre-order pricing, review the edition differences, and look toward the manga’s September release for additional Dark Souls material.

Key takeaways

• The Soul of Cinder Definitive Edition statue is expected in Q3 2027.
• Its listed price is $359.99, with a current pre-order price of $339.99.
• LED flames appear on the head, sword, and surrounding base.
• The $269.99 Exclusive Edition does not include the LED flame ring.
• The announcement does not confirm a new Dark Souls video game.

Expert View

This is a meaningful collector release, but calling it a new Dark Souls release without qualification would mislead players. The statue keeps the brand visible and gives longtime fans a premium way to celebrate Dark Souls 3, yet it does nothing to resolve the larger demand for a new game. Until FromSoftware provides clearer information about its future projects, the Soul of Cinder figure is best understood as a high-end tribute rather than a franchise revival.
