Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled the Ironeye, a new class set to launch with the game in May. This sniper class brings a fresh perspective to ranged gameplay, emphasizing speed and agility. The character trailer highlights its unique abilities, showcasing the Ironeye wielding a formidable bow and arrow setup, capable of scaling walls for strategic mid-air strikes. A new aiming system enhances the precision of headshots, and the trailer even features a dramatic riposte move, delivering a fatal shot directly to an enemy's heart.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the chance 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 the game's release just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the final two classes, expected 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 updates could make bows a more attractive option for players, who have historically favored melee combat due to its effectiveness in the original game. The revamped sniper class in Nightreign demonstrates the potential power of bows and arrows, possibly encouraging more players to experiment with ranged builds.

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