Elden Ring Returns December 2026 With New Malenia-Focused Release For Collectors

Though he has a particular affinity for multiplayer titles like World of Warcraft, Destiny 2 and League of Legends, he has also put thousands of hours into single-player experiences, from deep RPGs to epic PC strategies.

Sign in to your ScreenRant account One thing that Elden Ring arguably did better than any RPG of the last decade or more is boss design, with a ton of memorable foes that players have to conquer on their way to ultimate victory. Your own favorite likely depends on how you like to play, but few would deny that one of the most iconic is undoubtedly Malenia. The boss is obviously most well-known for just being very difficult to beat, and she also had the knock-on effect of launching Let Me Solo Her into the public consciousness. If the princess demigod has a special place in your own head canon, there's a new physical release on the way that could easily be one of the coolest official tie-ins to the game so far. Over on the Figure Fetch website, pre-orders have been opened for the 1/4 scale Malenia Resin Statue, from Spirit Cat Studio. The brand-new collectible, made of polystone and resin, can be purchased for $250 from select online retailers, and it's easily one of the most detailed examples you will see anywhere. There are two versions of the statue available, with the key difference being that one comes with a face moulded into the cloak. It also comes with two interchangeable heads, depending on whether you prefer it with or without the helmet. The price also includes some nice bonuses, with the “Valkyrie” prosthetic arm, a refrigerator magnet with the original “Valkyrie” art, and a cloak pole all factored into the cost. The measurements for the statue are 60 cm (H) x 70 cm (W) x 39 cm (D), so you will need plenty of room if you plan to display it. It's currently available for pre-order, with shipping expected to go ahead in the last quarter of this year. The only other thing to note is that this isn't an official product or a properly licensed tie-in, though it does absolutely look like one in terms of detail. It seems as though there is plenty of life left in Elden Ring yet, despite the fact that we don't know whether there's going to be a direct sequel or another tie-in game just yet. The big project to look forward to is undoubtedly the movie adaptation, though the caveat to that is the time to release, with most expecting a full theatrical launch in 2028.
