Forget anything that happened to twist Elden Ring's Lands Between into the shape the Tarnished finds them in during their wander from boss to boss. All of it pales in drama to the corporate battle currently going on behind-the-scenes at FromSoftware's parent company Kadokawa. Their CEO, Takeshi Natsuno, has kept his job at the firm's latest annual meeting, despite ongoing attempts to oust him by an activist investor group who claim Kadokawa haven't wrung the maximum amount of cash out of Elden Ring's success.

Who is the Raging Wolf?
Among the first Tarnished to join the Roundtable Hold was Vargram, a warrior of great skill and ferocity. He acquired the title of the Raging Wolf from the white wolf pelt that flowed from his helm.
Vargram sought to become the shadow of one of the Empyreans and built his strength relentlessly as he traveled through fallow Limgrave to the golden city of Leyndell. And yet in spite of all his strength, his armor is now worn by another…
An unnamed Tarnished now walks the Lands Between in the skin of the wolf. Does this warrior seek the same fate as Vargram, forever stalking at the side of an Empyrean? Will they uphold the Golden Order or supplant it for some new code? Whatever the destination, woe befall upon any who dare block the path.
The most impressive Elden Ring statue yet
Standing at 33 cm/13 inches, it’s one of the largest character statues ever produced for ELDEN RING.
Crafted with the attentive supervision of FromSoftware, this full 1/6 scale figure captures each minute detail with masterful skill. The size allows perfect fidelity to the beautiful and dark fantasy atmosphere of the game, including smears of bloody red across blade of the Bastard Sword and the crest of the Iron Roundshield.
From the intricate filigrees of its helm to its whisps of silvered fur blown back by an errant breeze to the humble, dusty cloth wraps protecting the feet of its greaves against the mossy stones of the path to Stoneveil Castle, it’s a portrait of the implacable will of the Tarnished.
All these expertly rendered touches from sculpturer Shinya Yamaoka make this statue a perfect match to the most iconic set from one of the most iconic games of this generation.
Where can I get a Raging Wolf Set statue?
Pre-orders for the Raging Wolf 1/6 scale statue can be placed on the official Bandai Namco website. At this time, based on the production estimates of Gecco studio, these stunning PVC/ABS figures will ship to your home in Winter of 2026.
If you are a true aficionado of the game, there is no better purchase to bring the world of Elden Ring to your home or office. It’s a timeless piece for your own collection or an impressive gift for a friend or loved one.
And one small note, if you have not yet found this set in the Lands Between for your Tarnished, we recommend you seek the aid of Recusant Bernahl at the Volcano Manor.

Regular RPS readers might remember me writing a couple of times last year about a modder kicking off an attempt at porting Morrowind into Elden Ring. Their early progress looked promising, if living under the cloud of several complex things the group would have to figure out in some form to get it working.
After about half a year of major updateless silence, modder InfernoPlus has emerged from the dungeons of Vvardenfell to reveal that the mod's now "mostly playable", following several months of battling a number of infuriatingly complex issues.

FromSoftware has an obvious penchant for secrets, their games are just littered with them. This is probably best exemplified in Elden Ring for the simple fact that the game is unapproachably massive, you're more than likely to find at least one secret somewhere along the line even just by accident. And four years on, the secrets continue to manifest, albeit on this occasion thanks to known FromSoft dataminer Lance McDonald, who's managed to uncover a cutscene involving Miquella. You know, that guy that Malenia mentions almost every time she kills you, and also features prominently in Shadow of the Erdtree.

No matter how many times you walk through the Like A Dragon series' nearly ever-present stomping ground of Kamurocho, odds are you'll never get sick of seeing its streets and alleyways. RGG Studio are among many studios - Elden Ring developers Fromsoftware included - who've seen their creative asset reuse widely praised in recent years. While they're far from the first to master leaning on previous bits of design top help save time and resources, Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed 3 director Alex Hutchinson reckons it's more key than ever right now that other studios follow their lead.

Summon the legendary warrior into your world with the Blaidd The Half-Wolf Lamp, a handcrafted, LED-powered tribute to one of ELDEN RING’s most iconic character.
Designed for collectors, lore enthusiasts, and Tarnished alike, this unique night lamp captures the tragic loyalty and silent strength of Blaidd, Shadow of Ranni.
The lamp features an LED-illuminated base that reveals glowing rune symbols beneath Blaidd’s feet, evoking the grace-given power that guides Tarnished across the Lands Between.
Rising above it, an engraved acrylic summoning panel glows softly when lit, capturing the look and feel of an in-game summon sign and the spirit-calling magic it represents.
Powered through a simple USB connection, it offers effortless illumination for any desk, gaming setup, or collector’s display.
"If ever thou shouldst call upon me… I shall come."
Blaidd’s oath echoes still. Now, he stands ready, not for battle, but as a silent guardian of your space.

Nightreign might be the hot topic now, but there are still plenty of reasons to return to Elden Ring proper, especially when the best Elden Ring mods are involved. One of the finest among them is Elden Ring Reforged, which sits behind only Seamless Co-Op, the item randomizer, and The Convergence when it comes to the most-downloaded gameplay overhauls. A more faithful twist that makes tens of thousands of changes to one of the best RPGs on PC in pursuit of "deep engagement with the world," it's just been given its biggest upgrade yet, complete with fully functional online play.
