BODY: For Hunters who survived the nightmare of Yharnam, a new piece of wearable lore is about to grace their fingers. Apparel brand TORCH TORCH announced on May 1, 2026 that the "Bloodborne × TORCH TORCH / Mensis Ritual Ring" will go on sale this August.
The ring is crafted in sterling silver (SV925) and draws its design from the "Mensis Ritual" rune — better known to Western players as the Caryll rune that whispers "Inquisitive eyes are a blessing. Seek what the cosmos has to show." In FromSoftware's 2015 PS4 masterpiece, this rune grants additional insight gain from defeating bosses, a currency essential for those chasing the game's cosmic truths.
Priced at ¥29,700 (tax included), the ring is the latest in a long-running collaboration series between TORCH TORCH and FromSoftware properties. The Tokyo-based brand has built a cult following among Soulsborne fans for jewelry that translates in-game iconography into pieces refined enough for daily wear, with previous releases including Dark Souls and Sekiro motifs.
Pre-orders are expected through TORCH TORCH's official channels and select Japanese retailers, though international shipping availability remains the perennial sticking point for overseas Hunters.
The insider take
TORCH TORCH occupies a unique niche in Tokyo's character-goods ecosystem — a step above the plastic-and-acrylic gachapon tier, but priced just below the territory of high-end domestic jewelers like Justin Davis. For Bloodborne specifically, the silence from FromSoftware regarding any remaster or sequel has turned the franchise's official merchandise into a kind of pilgrimage object for the faithful. A rune-inspired ring at ¥29,700 isn't impulse-buy territory in Japan, but it's pitched precisely at the demographic of working adults who played Bloodborne in their twenties and now have disposable income — and a desire to signal the obsession without wearing it on a t-shirt.
