Elden Ring Nightreign Draws A Sharp Bow-Wielding Nightfarer Class, The Ironeye
The newest character class unveiled in Elden Ring Nightreign is the Nightfarer Ironeye, who utilizes long-range bows and dexterity to dismantle adversaries.
FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have unearthed a new class for the upcoming co-op Roguelike title, Elden Ring Nightreign, and the Nightfarer Ironeye deploys long-range weaponry and skills to hurt foes from a distance. The bow-wielding Ironeye specializes in utilizing ranged attacks, but they can also equip dexterity-leaning weaponry in case enemies get within a player's comfort zone.
During the Elden Ring Nightreign Network Test, players surmised that you have to attack other friendly players to revive them mid-combat, and the Ironeye adds a layer of strategy to that component of the battlefield, reviving downed players from far away. Bandai Namco has released a brief teaser trailer showcasing the unique talents of the Ironeye and it can be seen below (a larger trailer is available on the official Bandai Namco YouTube channel).
While the Iron Eye starts with ranged attacks and features utilizing ranged ultimate abilities, like all other Nightfarers, they can use any weapon discovered during runs with comrades. FromSoftware continues to strike while the iron is hot, revealing a new character for Elden Ring Nightreign, a new title for Nintendo Switch 2 called The Duskbloods, and Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 adds new developments for fans of the punishingly hard soulslike titles to look forward to.
While The Duskbloods has not been given a confirmed release date yet, Elden Ring Nightreign's anticipated release is right around the corner. Elden Ring Nightreign launches for Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PS4, PS5 and PC on May 30, 2025. After launch, reports have circulated that there may be more bosses and player characters via DLC available after the title ships due to a Steam page leak discovered by PCGamer, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
