"Elden Ring Unveils Nightreign: New Ranged Class Introduced"

In anticipation of its highly anticipated May release, Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled its latest class—the Ironeye. As the sixth class revealed ahead of the game’s launch, this ranged specialist brings a fresh twist to ranged combat with its emphasis on speed and agility. The character trailer showcases the Ironeye wielding an impressive bow and arrow combination, paired with the ability to scale walls and deliver mid-air attacks with pinpoint precision. Adding to its arsenal is a newly introduced aiming system designed to make landing headshots simpler, further enhancing its effectiveness in battle.

The recently concluded closed network test in February allowed players to try four of the initial classes: the versatile Wylder, the sturdy Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-focused Recluse. With the Ironeye now confirmed as the sixth class, fans speculate that the remaining two classes could be revealed soon, keeping the hype alive until the game’s release.

Notable improvements highlighted during the test, such as the enhanced aiming mechanics, have sparked hope among the community that similar updates could make their way to the original Elden Ring. Traditionally, bows have been overshadowed by the dominance of melee builds in the main game, but the Ironeye’s debut suggests that ranged combat can hold its own—and perhaps even become more appealing to players looking to diversify their playstyles.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone expansion of the critically acclaimed RPG, is set to release on May 30th, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $39.99. For more details about the game, stay tuned to updates and resources like Game8’s comprehensive coverage.
