Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye

A Lethal Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled the Ironeye class, a thrilling addition set to debut with the game's launch in May. This sniper class revolutionizes ranged combat by emphasizing agility and precision. The character trailer vividly demonstrates its capabilities, featuring a formidable bow and arrow setup and the unique ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air attacks. Additionally, Ironeye benefits from an innovative aiming system designed to enhance headshot accuracy. The trailer even showcases a stunning riposte maneuver, where the character executes a heart-stopping shot with a bow and arrow.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players got a taste of four of the eight available classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-casting Recluse. With Ironeye marking the sixth class, fans are eagerly anticipating the reveal of the remaining two classes, which FromSoftware may unveil later this month, given the game's imminent release.

The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements, such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that similar updates might find their way into the original Elden Ring, potentially making bows a more attractive weapon choice. Social media platforms like Reddit have highlighted bows as an underutilized main weapon in the original game, overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat. With the revamped sniper class in Nightreign showcasing the power and versatility of bows and arrows, players might be more inclined to explore ranged builds in this new adventure.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone expansion to 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 detailed insights into the game, be sure to visit Game8's comprehensive article below!
