Nightreign Unveils 6th Class: Ironeye

A Deadly Ranged Sniper

Elden Ring: Nightreign has just unveiled the Ironeye class ahead of its May release. This sniper class brings a fresh perspective to ranged combat, emphasizing swiftness and dexterity. The character trailer highlights its gameplay, featuring a formidable bow and arrow setup and the unique ability to scale walls for strategic mid-air attacks. With the introduction of a new aiming system designed to enhance headshot accuracy, the Ironeye class promises to redefine ranged combat. The trailer also showcases a dramatic riposte move, where the Ironeye delivers a fatal shot straight to an enemy's heart.

During the Nightreign closed network test in February, players had the opportunity to experience four of the eight playable classes: the versatile Wylder, the sturdy Guardian, the agile Duchess, and the mystical Recluse. With Ironeye being the sixth class unveiled, fans are eagerly anticipating the reveal of the final two classes, possibly later this month, as Nightreign's release draws near.

The Ironeye class's introduction, alongside quality-of-life enhancements such as the new aiming system, has sparked hope among fans that these improvements might also find their way into the original Elden Ring game. Such updates could potentially make bows a more appealing choice for players, who previously found melee combat more rewarding.

On social media platforms like Reddit, bows have traditionally been less popular as a primary weapon due to the dominance of melee builds in the original Elden Ring. However, with the revamped Ironeye class demonstrating the power and effectiveness of bows and arrows, more players might be inclined to experiment with ranged 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 further details about the game, explore Game8’s comprehensive article below!
