The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is gearing up for its release, and the excitement builds with the reveal of several intriguing characters. On April 15, FromSoftware shared a character trailer on Twitter (X), showcasing Raider—an aging Viking who swings his axe with ferocity against any who stand in his way.

The trailer highlights Raider's prowess in combat, showcasing his ability to deliver devastating blows to enemies, including a solo takedown of a dragon with a single strike. Additionally, Raider can summon a massive monolith, which serves as a strategic platform for both himself and his allies. This feature not only provides a vantage point for long-range characters, making it challenging for enemies to reach them, but also allows Raider to launch aerial attacks on unsuspecting foes.

While the trailer does not go into specifics about Raider's full range of attacks and abilities, it certainly leaves players eager to learn more. Fans can now pre-order Nightreign and receive a bonus gesture in-game. For more information on pre-orders and the available DLCs, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
