Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye
A Deadly Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled the Ironeye, a new class that revolutionizes ranged combat, set to be released in May. This sniper class emphasizes speed and agility, offering players a fresh approach to gameplay. The character trailer highlights its capabilities, showcasing the use of a massive bow and arrow, along with the ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air attacks. The Ironeye also features a new aiming system designed to facilitate headshots, and even demonstrates a unique riposte move using a bow and arrow directly to the heart.During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to explore four of the eight available 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 Nightreign's launch approaching next month, fans are eagerly anticipating the announcement 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. Such updates could enhance the appeal of using bows as primary weapons, which have traditionally been less popular compared to melee options in the original game. The revamped sniper class in Nightreign demonstrates the potential power and effectiveness of ranged builds, possibly encouraging more players to explore this style of play.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within the Elden Ring universe, is scheduled for release on May 30th, 2025, and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for $39.99. For more detailed information about the game, be sure to visit Game8’s comprehensive article below!
