Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled its sixth class, the Ironeye, set to launch in May. This sniper class brings a fresh perspective to ranged gameplay, emphasizing swiftness and dexterity. The character trailer highlights the Ironeye's prowess with a massive bow and arrow set-up, showcasing its ability to run up walls for dynamic mid-air attacks. The class utilizes a new aiming system designed to enhance accuracy, making headshots more achievable. Notably, the Ironeye even executes a riposte move, striking an enemy directly in the heart with an arrow.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players got a taste of four out of the eight available classes: the versatile Wylder, the robust Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. With the Ironeye joining the roster as the sixth class, fans are eagerly awaiting the reveal of the final two classes, expected to be announced later this month as Nightreign's release approaches.

The introduction of quality-of-life improvements, such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these enhancements might also find their way into the original Elden Ring. Such updates could significantly boost the appeal of using bows as primary weapons, which have historically been less popular compared to melee options due to their perceived lack of power.

Social media platforms like Reddit have buzzed with discussions about the effectiveness of bows in the original game. With the Ironeye showcasing the potential of ranged builds, more players might be inclined to explore this playstyle in Nightreign.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure within the Elden Ring universe, is set to launch on May 30th, 2025, and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for $39.99. For further details on the game, don't miss Game8's comprehensive article below!
