"Elden Ring Unveils Nightreign: New Ranged Class Introduced"

Discover the latest addition to Elden Ring: Nightreign, the Ironeye—a new ranged class that promises to revolutionize sniper gameplay. Get ready for its release in May!

Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces the Ironeye, a thrilling new sniper class set to debut with its May release. This class is all about mastering ranged combat with a focus on speed and agility. The character trailer highlights its unique mechanics, featuring a colossal bow and arrow setup and the ability to scale walls for dynamic mid-air assaults. The Ironeye also utilizes a new aiming system designed to enhance precision, making headshots more achievable. In an impressive display, the character executes a 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 playable classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-casting Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class to be revealed, and with the game's launch approaching next month, fans eagerly anticipate 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 be integrated into the original Elden Ring, potentially making bows more appealing as primary weapons. Bows have historically been less popular in the original game, overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat. However, with the Ironeye showcasing the power and potential of ranged builds, more players might be inspired to explore this gameplay style in Nightreign.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within the Elden Ring universe, is set to launch on May 30th, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $39.99. For more details about the game, visit Game8’s comprehensive article below!
