Elden Ring Nightreign Character Reveals

The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is gearing up for its release and has been steadily introducing a roster of exciting characters that players can control. On April 15, FromSoftware shared a captivating character trailer on Twitter (X) spotlighting Raider, an aging Viking who fearlessly swings his axe and takes down any adversary in his path.

The trailer showcases Raider's prowess in delivering devastating heavy attacks, impressively taking down a dragon with a single mighty blow. Additionally, Raider can summon a colossal monolith block, which serves as a strategic platform for both himself and his allies. This not only provides a vantage point for long-range characters to avoid enemy reach but also allows Raider to launch aerial assaults on his opponents.

While the trailer does not delve into specifics about Raider's full range of attacks and abilities, it certainly piques the interest of potential players. Fans eager to experience Nightreign can now pre-order the game to receive an exclusive in-game gesture bonus.
