Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces an exciting new ranged class, the Ironeye, just ahead of its highly anticipated May release. Dive into the details of this sniper class and how it could redefine your gameplay experience!
Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye
A Deadly Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled the Ironeye, a formidable sniper class set to launch in May. This class revolutionizes ranged combat with its focus on speed and agility. The captivating character trailer displays the Ironeye in action, equipped with a massive bow and arrow set-up and demonstrating the unique ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air strikes. A new, enhanced aiming system is introduced, designed to facilitate easier headshots, and the trailer even showcases a thrilling riposte executed with a bow and arrow directly to the heart of an enemy.During the Nightreign closed network test held in February, players were able to explore four out of the eight planned classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. With Ironeye marking the sixth class, anticipation builds for the potential reveal of the final two classes later this month, as Nightreign approaches its release.
The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements, including the innovative aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these improvements might also find their way into the original Elden Ring. Such updates could significantly enhance the appeal of using bows as primary weapons, which have traditionally been overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat in the original game. The Ironeye's demonstration of the potential power and effectiveness of ranged attacks could inspire more 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, 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!
