Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye
A Lethal Ranged Sniper
Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled the Ironeye, a brand-new class set to revolutionize ranged combat upon its release in May. This sniper class emphasizes speed and agility, presenting a fresh gameplay dynamic. The character trailer highlights its unique capabilities, such as wielding a colossal bow and arrow set, executing mid-air attacks by scaling walls, and featuring a new aiming system designed to enhance headshot accuracy. The Ironeye's skill set even includes a stunning riposte, delivering a heart-piercing shot with its bow.During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the chance to experience four of the eight available classes: the versatile Wylder, the sturdy Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the spell-casting Recluse. With the Ironeye being the sixth class introduced, and the game's release looming next month, fans are eagerly awaiting FromSoftware's reveal of the remaining two classes, possibly dropping later this month.
The inclusion of quality-of-life enhancements, like the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these improvements could eventually find their way into the original Elden Ring. Such updates might make bows a more attractive choice for players, who have often found melee combat more rewarding in the base game. Social media platforms, such as Reddit, have shown that bows were previously less favored as primary weapons. However, with the Ironeye showcasing the potential power and versatility of ranged builds, more players might be tempted to explore this new approach in Nightreign.
Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure set within the Elden Ring universe, is scheduled to launch on May 30th, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $39.99. For a deeper dive into the game, be sure to check out Game8’s detailed article below!
