Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled a thrilling new class, the Ironeye, just in time for its upcoming release in May. This sniper class brings a fresh perspective to ranged combat, emphasizing agility and precision. The character trailer highlights its gameplay, showcasing the use of a formidable bow and arrow setup alongside the unique ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air attacks. A new aiming system designed to enhance headshot accuracy is a standout feature of this class. Remarkably, the Ironeye can even execute a riposte with a bow and arrow, striking directly at an enemy's heart.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to experience four of the eight playable classes: the versatile Wylder, the sturdy Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class to be revealed, and with Nightreign's launch on the horizon, fans are eagerly anticipating the reveal of the remaining two classes, possibly later this month.

The game's introduction of various quality-of-life enhancements, including the innovative aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that similar improvements might find their way into the original Elden Ring. Such updates could potentially make bows more attractive as primary weapons, especially given their historical unpopularity in the original game where melee combat reigned supreme. The Ironeye class demonstrates that bows and arrows can be just as potent, potentially encouraging more players to explore ranged builds in this new installment.

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