Released back in 2022 and met with critical acclaim within mere weeks, Elden Ring has cemented itself as one of the best and most influential video games of all time. Developed by FromSoftware, who is perhaps best known for its Dark Souls trilogy and standalone title Bloodborne, Elden Ring was the first open-world souls game, allowing players to embark on an epic journey however they saw fit. As such, the game inspires replayability, and to this day, fans are coming up with unique and exciting builds and finding new ways to experience the game.
As with any hit game, fans wish to immerse themselves in the world however they can, and with Elden Ring being the brainchild of both Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin, it is no wonder that the story is seeping with lore and history. That is why, since its release, Elden Ring has gone on to inspire countless other releases relating to the rich world, including a graphic novel series, and even an upcoming live-action movie.
However, the collaborations do not stop there, as Elden Ring publisher, Bandai Namco, just announced a brand-new release which is guaranteed to appeal to the most dedicated Elden Ring fans. Shared on the official Bandai Namco Entertainment Twitter account, the Elden Ring Academy of Raya Lucaria Collector’s Edition Box is now available to order on the publisher’s official store. Marketed as an “alluring treasure for any aspiring scholar”, the brand-new figure is set to ship in July 2026, and is available for £99.
Most exciting, however, is that the Elden Ring Academy of Raya Lucaria Collector’s Edition Box is not just a beautiful collectible, but it also serves as a storage piece. Its official product description reads as follows:
A licensed ELDEN RING trinket box inspired by the Academy of Raya Lucaria and designed as a medium-sized decorative storage piece. Featuring a detailed design that condenses the grandeur of the Academy into a single display piece. The removable roof reveals a hidden compartment for storing small trinkets. Packaged securely to protect the detailed sculpting and finish, making it suitable for both display and gifting.
Blending design and functionality, this brand-new Elden Ring-inspired collectible comes in at 19cm tall and is made entirely out of polyresin, but there is no denying that its detail is outstanding. Showcasing the stunning architecture of Raya Lucaria Academy with the thousands of books which adorn its halls, this will make a beautiful addition to the shelf of any Elden Ring fan, especially those who want to hide some trinkets within it.
As mentioned, the Elden Ring Academy of Raya Lucaria Collector’s Edition Box is now available to pre-order and will begin shipping in July 2026, so you had better hurry if you wish to secure yourself this epic merchandise.
