Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces the Ironeye, a thrilling new sniper class that promises to shake up ranged combat with its focus on speed and agility. The captivating character trailer shows the Ironeye in action, masterfully handling a colossal bow and arrow setup. One standout feature is the ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air strikes, adding a dynamic element to the gameplay. The class also benefits from an innovative new aiming system designed to enhance the precision of headshots. In a stunning display of skill, the Ironeye even executes a riposte move, piercing an enemy's heart with a perfectly aimed arrow.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to explore four out of the eight planned classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. With Ironeye as the sixth class, anticipation builds for the potential reveal of the remaining two classes later this month, as the game's release approaches on May 30th, 2025.

The quality-of-life improvements, such as the new aiming system, have sparked hope among fans that similar enhancements might find their way into the original Elden Ring, potentially making bows more viable as primary weapons. Historically, bows have been less popular than melee weapons in Elden Ring, as evidenced by discussions on social media platforms like Reddit. However, with the Ironeye class showcasing the potential power and versatility of ranged combat, there's renewed interest in exploring bow-centric builds in Nightreign.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure set in 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 those eager to learn more, check out Game8's comprehensive article on the game!
