Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled a thrilling addition to its roster with the Ironeye class, a master of ranged combat, slated for release in May. The Ironeye class brings a fresh dynamic to the game with its focus on agility and precision. The character's trailer highlights its unique gameplay, featuring a formidable bow and arrow setup and the remarkable ability to scale walls for devastating mid-air attacks. This class leverages a new aiming system designed to enhance the accuracy of headshots, and impressively, it even executes a riposte maneuver using a bow and arrow, targeting the enemy's heart directly.

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 introduction of the Ironeye as the sixth class suggests that FromSoftware might unveil the remaining two classes later this month, with Nightreign's release just around the corner.

The game is showcasing several quality-of-life improvements, including the new aiming system, sparking hope among fans that these enhancements might also find their way into the original Elden Ring, potentially making bows a more attractive option for players. Historically, bows have been underutilized as primary weapons in the original game, overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat. With the Ironeye class demonstrating the formidable potential of bows and arrows, there's a growing interest among players to experiment with a ranged build in Nightreign.

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 details on the game, be sure to check out Game8's comprehensive article below!
