Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye
A Deadly Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled a thrilling addition to its roster with the Ironeye class, set to launch in May. This sniper class brings a fresh take on ranged gameplay, emphasizing speed and agility. The character trailer displays the Ironeye in action, wielding a formidable bow and arrow setup, and executing dynamic moves such as running up walls for strategic mid-air strikes. A highlight of the Ironeye is its innovative aiming system, designed to enhance the precision of headshots. In a stunning display, the class even executes a riposte with a bow, delivering a fatal shot straight to an enemy's heart.
During the Nightreign closed network test held last February, players had the opportunity to explore four out of eight classes: the versatile Wylder, the resilient Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class to be revealed, hinting that FromSoftware might unveil the final two classes later this month as the release approaches.
The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements, such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these improvements might find their way into the original Elden Ring, potentially making bows a more viable choice for players. Historically, bows have been less favored in the original game, overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat. However, with the Ironeye class showcasing the potency of ranged attacks, it's likely that more players will be tempted to explore a ranged build in Nightreign.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within the Elden Ring universe, is scheduled for release on May 30th, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $39.99. For further details and updates on the game, be sure to visit Game8’s comprehensive coverage.
