Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye
A Lethal Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has unveiled the Ironeye, a new class that's set to launch with the game in May. This sniper class revolutionizes ranged combat with its emphasis on speed and agility. The character trailer highlights the Ironeye's unique capabilities, featuring a large bow and arrow setup and the ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air strikes. The class introduces a new aiming system designed to simplify landing headshots, enhancing the precision of ranged attacks. A standout moment from the trailer shows the Ironeye executing a riposte with a bow and arrow directly to an enemy's heart, showcasing its deadly potential.During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the chance to explore four of the eight available classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-casting Recluse. The Ironeye marks the sixth class, and with Nightreign's release just around the corner, there's anticipation that FromSoftware might soon reveal the remaining two classes.
The introduction of quality-of-life enhancements like the new aiming system has sparked hope among fans that these improvements might also be implemented in the original Elden Ring. Such updates could significantly enhance the appeal of using bows as primary weapons, which have traditionally been less popular compared to melee options in the original game. With the Ironeye demonstrating the effectiveness of bows and arrows, more players might be inclined to adopt a ranged build in Nightreign.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within 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 further details about the game, visit Game8’s comprehensive article below!
