Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to excite fans with the introduction of a new ranged class, the Ironeye, ahead of its eagerly awaited release in May. Dive into the details of this sniper class that promises to redefine ranged combat in the game!
Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye
A Deadly Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled a thrilling new addition to its roster—the Ironeye class. This sniper class introduces a fresh perspective on ranged gameplay, emphasizing agility and precision. The captivating character trailer demonstrates the Ironeye in action, skillfully managing a formidable bow and arrow setup while executing dynamic moves like wall-running for strategic mid-air assaults. A new aiming system enhances the class's effectiveness, making headshots more achievable. The trailer even shows the Ironeye performing a stunning riposte, striking an enemy directly in the heart with an arrow.
During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to explore four of the eight planned classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class to be revealed, and with the game's release looming next month, fans are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the final two classes later this month.
The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements, such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these improvements might also find their way into the original Elden Ring. Such changes could potentially boost the appeal of using bows as primary weapons, which have historically been less popular compared to melee options in the original game. The revamped sniper class in Nightreign could encourage more players to experiment with ranged builds.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure expanding the Elden Ring universe, is scheduled for release on May 30th, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $39.99. For a deeper dive into the game, be sure to visit Game8’s comprehensive article!
