Adorable Elden Ring Collectibles Are Up For Pre-Order at IGN Store

A recruiting drive at FromSoftware suggests a major expansion of the Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne developer is underway.

FromSoftware is reportedly gearing up for a large recruitment spree in anticipation of several upcoming projects.

Itch.io has put together a new bundle of more than 250 games to raise funds in support of Medical Aid for Palestinians, a UK-based charity founded in 1982 that «works in partnership with Palestinian communities to uphold their rights to health and dignity.»

Honda and GM have called off plans to co-develop small, cheap electric vehicles.

A lot of video games have been getting adaptations after Sonic and Detective Pikachu seemingly figured out the formula, and this week Five Nights At Freddy's big-screen adaptation hits cinemas. With an all-new reason to engage with the series now here, and one that will likely bring in a tonne of new fans, especially since the creepy movie's arrival coincides with Halloween, you can expect a lot of new merch coming soon starting with Funko Snaps for Helpy and Roxanne Wolf.

October 20 was supposed to be the day Dune 2 hit cinemas. Strikes in Hollywood have prevented that from happening and we won't be getting the blockbuster sequel until 2024. While a lot of what was planned for its release can be moved, some things that have already been set in motion simply cannot be changed. Toys linked to the movie's release, for example. Pre-orders for Lego's new Ornithopter Set are now open, presumably because people were initially going to have been seeing the movie right about now.

One of the beautiful things about our world is that plenty of places offer special items to those who want more than “just an experience.” For example, video games are an excellent way to have fun. But eventually, you put the games down and move on to something else. However, there are plenty of memorabilia and items that you can buy from those video game worlds that will stand out in your place and help you remember the games and characters more, even when you’re not playing their titles. Fans of Samus Aran have something to be excited about thanks to a pre-order that just launched.

Pokemon has come a long way since the original 151. There are now more than 1,000 Pokemon. So many that even fans who have been dedicated to the series since the very beginning must see a Pokemon occasionally and think to themselves, "What on Earth is that?" If you've done that a time or two, or if you're catching up and want to learn more about Pokemon you're unfamiliar with, someone has been busy curating an extensive guide that includes information on almost every single 'mon.

How much would you be willing to pay for some cool, official merch of your favorite game? If your favorite game is Elden Ring and your answer was £1,400 (about $1,700), then you’re in luck, because that’s how much the most expensive item from the new ARK/8 x Elden Ringcollection costs. 

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is finally here and a lucky few of you (probably more than a few, actually) have likely been playing the game for a few hours by now. The sequel builds on the first two games in Insomniac's Spider-Man series, adding some famous characters from the Spider-Verse into the mix. Most notably Venom, and if you missed out on the 19 inches of him PlayStation was handing out with the collectors' edition, perhaps the newly-revealed collectible action figure from Hot Toys will interest you.

FromSoft games are, first and foremost, redolent with drip, and Elden Ring is no different. Sure, there's something about bosses, a man with a pot for a head and the Game of Thrones guy in there, but 2022's game of the year is above all a beautiful and expansive catwalk. See?

If you haven't been keeping an eye on early 2024, we'd encourage you to do so. The current release schedule is, quite frankly, absurd. In the space of just under two months, we're getting:
