A 10-foot-tall statue of Messmer the Impaler could be yours, but first, you need to edit a killer Elden Ring trailer
To celebrate the upcoming Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree, Bandai Namco is putting on a competition to test fans' love and knowledge of the soulslike, and the winners will be treated to some stunning and strange prizes.
