Modders are increasingly blending icons from different universes into Elden Ring, creating fresh storylines and visual experiences inside the beloved fantasy world. A recent adaptation lets players follow a role-playing arc for Ciri from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, integrated into Elden Ring with a mod that weighs under 100MB. This compact yet feature-rich modification lets fans explore Geralt’s universe through a crossover lens and can be downloaded from communities where creators share their work. [VG Times]
Earlier experiments saw players attempting to recreate Ciri’s appearance in the game’s editor without mods. Those attempts translated parts of Ciri’s hair, a distinctive scar, and Witcher-inspired facial features onto the Elden Ring character model. Fans also attempted to mimic Yennefer and Geralt from The Witcher 3, though achieving authentic outfits proved difficult without downloadable tweaks. The drive behind these projects is clear: fans want Witcher icons to interact with Elden Ring’s world, mechanics, and combat systems. [VG Times]
Beyond Witcher crossovers, other projects push the boundaries further. Some modders experiment with translating iconic characters from different franchises into Elden Ring’s engine. A notable example reimagines a well-known Overwatch figure within the Elden Ring setting, while others attempt to bring a legendary archaeologist into the action RPG. In another bold effort, creators explore importing elements of The Lord of the Rings into Unreal Engine 5 to broaden the game’s visual scope and storytelling potential. These experiments reflect a wider trend: the engine and toolkit empower enthusiasts to blend genres, aesthetics, and mythologies with surprising cohesion. [VG Times]
- Redditors showcase a 13-kilogram Elden Ring Wandering Mausoleum model built from Lego parts, highlighting the playful technical artistry of the community
- A fan has scaled Malenia down to a fraction of her original size and presented her in an unconventional style
- Other creators have completely reimagined Rennie, Malenia, Melina and many more Elden Ring bosses and characters
These projects illustrate a community driven by curiosity and technical skill. They show how fans repurpose in-game assets, textures, and animation systems to realize bold ideas that blend pop culture with homegrown fantasy design. The result goes beyond cosmetic changes; it often involves adapting armor, movesets, and character animations to preserve a believable feel within Elden Ring’s world rules. [VG Times]
As with any modding scene, the landscape mixes clever engineering, artistic interpretation, and a touch of audacity. Creators share progress updates and demonstrations, revealing both the challenges and the creativity needed to achieve convincing crossovers. The ongoing conversation among players and makers centers on balance, compatibility, and the joy of seeing beloved characters inhabit a fresh stage. In this evolving space, the line between homage and reimagining becomes increasingly blurred, inviting players to reexperience favorite franchises through a new lens. [VG Times]
