Elden Ring: Nightreign Unveils New Ranged Class - The Ironeye

Elden Ring: Nightreign has just announced a thrilling addition to its roster with the reveal of the Ironeye, a new ranged class, set to launch in May. Dive into the details of this sniper class and see how it could redefine your gameplay!

Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign's latest reveal is the Ironeye, a sniper class that brings a fresh take on ranged combat with an emphasis on speed and precision. The character trailer highlights the Ironeye's impressive capabilities, featuring a colossal bow and arrow setup and the ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air shots. The class also introduces a new aiming system designed to enhance accuracy, particularly for headshots. In a striking display of skill, the Ironeye executes a riposte move, piercing an enemy's heart with an arrow.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the chance to experience four of the eight classes: the versatile Wylder, the sturdy Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. With Ironeye marking the sixth class, anticipation builds for the possible reveal of the remaining two classes before the game's launch next month.

The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements, like 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. Bows have traditionally been less popular as a main weapon in Elden Ring, overshadowed by the dominance of melee combat. However, with the Ironeye's impressive demonstration, players might be more inclined to explore ranged builds in Nightreign.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within the Elden Ring universe, is set to release on May 30th, 2025, available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for $39.99. For further details about the game, visit Game8's comprehensive article below!
