Elden Ring: Nightreign introduces an exciting new ranged class known as the Ironeye, set to launch in May. Dive into the details of this unique sniper class!

Nightreign Reveals 6th Class, Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign unveils a thrilling new class, the Ironeye, just before its May release. This sniper class revolutionizes ranged combat with its emphasis on agility and precision. The character trailer highlights its gameplay, featuring a formidable bow and arrow setup and the ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air attacks. The Ironeye utilizes a novel aiming system designed to facilitate easier headshots, demonstrated impressively by a riposte maneuver—shooting an arrow directly into an enemy's heart.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to try out four of the eight playable 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 imminent release next month, fans eagerly anticipate the reveal of the remaining two classes later this month.

The quality-of-life enhancements, including the new aiming system, have sparked hope among fans that these improvements might also enhance the original Elden Ring, particularly in making bows more appealing as primary weapons. Historically, as seen on platforms like Reddit, bows were less favored due to the dominance of melee combat in the original game. With the Ironeye showcasing the potential power of ranged combat, it could encourage more players to experiment with a bow-based build in Nightreign.

Elden Ring: Nightreign, a standalone adventure in the Elden Ring universe, is scheduled for release on May 30th, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S at a price of $39.99. For more insights into the game, be sure to visit Game8's comprehensive article below!
