FromSoftware’s highly anticipated Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to shake up the series with a brand-new cooperative multiplayer format. Unlike its predecessor Elden Ring, which emphasised open-world exploration and solo or limited co-op play, Nightreign will focus on intense team-based battles against formidable bosses. With eight distinct character classes to choose from, only 4 have been introduced. Among the currently revealed characters, the latest addition offers a thrilling new way to engage enemies.
Meet the Ironeye: The Sharpshooter of Nightreign
This class is designed for those who prefer ranged combat, the Ironeye is an agile archer with a lethal precision that makes him a valuable asset in any encounter. The video below showcases the Ironeye abilities:
The Ironeye is a class tailored for players who favour a hit-and-run approach. Unlike traditional archers, this character excels in mobility, using parkour-like manoeuvres to traverse the battlefield with ease. One of the most impressive abilities showcased in recent gameplay footage is the Ironeye’s capability to leap off walls and fire arrows mid-air, allowing for dynamic and strategic engagements. This combination of agility and long-range lethality makes him one of the most exciting additions to the roster.
Beyond its impressive combat capabilities, the Ironeye serves as a showcase for Nightreign’s advanced movement mechanics. The ability to jump off walls, reposition quickly, and attack fluidly in mid-air signals a departure from Elden Ring’s previous grounded combat style. This evolution in gameplay could lead to more vertical and dynamic battles, pushing players to master movement as much as combat strategy.
Release Date and Platforms
Elden Ring: Nightreign is set to launch on 30 May for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. As FromSoftware’s next ambitious step in the Elden Ring universe, it promises an engaging co-op action experience filled with challenging encounters and deep team-based strategy. If you’re eager to step into the boots of a deadly sniper with unmatched mobility, the Ironeye might be the perfect class for you.
Stay tuned for more updates as additional character classes and features are revealed in the lead-up to release!
