Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled an exciting new ranged class, the Ironeye, ahead of its much-anticipated release in May. Dive in to discover more about this sniper class!
Nightreign Reveals 6th Class: Ironeye
A Deadly Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces the Ironeye, a thrilling sniper class designed to revolutionize ranged gameplay with its emphasis on speed and precision. The character trailer demonstrates its capabilities, showcasing the Ironeye wielding a formidable bow and arrow setup, capable of running up walls for strategic mid-air attacks. A standout feature is the new aiming system, designed to enhance the accuracy of headshots. The trailer even includes a dramatic riposte, with an arrow piercing an enemy's heart.
During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the chance to experience four out of the eight planned classes: the versatile Wylder, the resilient Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-casting Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class to be revealed. With the game's launch looming in May, fans are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the remaining two classes, possibly later this month.
The introduction of quality-of-life improvements, such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that similar enhancements might find their way into the original Elden Ring. This could potentially make bows more appealing as primary weapons, which have traditionally been overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat in the original game. The revamped Ironeye class demonstrates the potential power of ranged combat, possibly encouraging more players to experiment with a bow-based build in Nightreign.
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 more detailed insights into the game, don't miss Game8's comprehensive article below!
