Elden Ring has expanded well beyond its 2022 breakout as FromSoftware's open-world RPG continues to support a major entertainment and merchandise ecosystem. The franchise now includes the multiplayer spin-off Elden Ring Nightreign, while a movie directed by Alex Garland is planned for 2028. The next Elden Ring release is not a new game, however: Bandai Namco has confirmed a premium Raging Wolf statue for Winter 2026, priced at $469.99.
A Detailed Raging Wolf Display Piece
The 1/6-scale statue is produced by Japanese company Gecco and portrays the Tarnished wearing the Raging Wolf armor set. The design follows the armor's in-game appearance, with sculpting credited to Shinya Yamaoka and paint applications by Katsuhige Akeyama. At almost 13 inches, or approximately 33 centimeters, tall, the statue is intended to be a substantial centerpiece rather than a small desk collectible.
Its display base adds another major visual element. The sculpted scene depicts stone pavement leading toward Stormveil Castle, recreating the atmosphere of an Elden Ring environment beneath the character. The statue is made from PVC and ABS, according to the listed key features.
The Price Reflects Its Collector Position
The statue's $469.99 price places it firmly in the premium collectibles category. That cost will put it beyond the reach of many players, but the detailed armor recreation, character sculpt, paint work, and environmental base help explain why it is being positioned as a high-end item rather than standard game merchandise.
Availability is also limited at this stage. The Bandai Namco Store listing is already waitlisted, so interested buyers must join the email list on the original product page for a possible opportunity to purchase it. Joining the list does not guarantee that a statue will become available.
What Elden Ring Fans Can Expect Next
The statue is scheduled for Winter 2026, giving collectors a confirmed release window but not a specific launch day. Its arrival adds another premium product to a franchise that continues to attract attention across games, film, and fan merchandise.
Players looking for a more traditional Elden Ring release have the Tarnished Edition ahead of them. It launches on August 28 and marks the game's debut on Nintendo Switch 2. The edition also includes the Tarnished Pack DLC, which adds two starting classes, four new armor sets, and three Torrent skins. That release offers new playable content, while the Gecco statue targets fans who want to bring one of the game's most recognizable armor sets into their physical collection.

- The statue stands approximately 33 centimeters tall and costs $469.99.

Expert View
This announcement shows how Elden Ring's commercial reach now extends beyond game launches. A nearly $470 statue with a waitlist is aimed at a dedicated collector audience, while the Switch 2 edition serves players seeking fresh access and content. Neither release replaces the demand for a new major game, but together they demonstrate that the franchise can support distinct products for both its gaming community and its premium-merchandise market.
