The Axe-Swinging Raider

As Elden Ring Nightreign gears up for its eagerly anticipated release, FromSoftware has been keeping fans engaged with a series of character reveals. The latest addition, showcased in a Twitter (X) post on April 15, introduces the Raider—an aging Viking who swings his axe with devastating force and isn't afraid to throw a punch at any adversary, including dragons.

The trailer highlights the Raider's prowess in combat, showcasing his ability to deliver heavy blows that can take down even the mightiest of foes, like dragons, with a single, powerful strike. Beyond his brute strength, the Raider demonstrates tactical versatility by summoning a large monolith. This not only serves as a strategic platform for allies, especially those who excel at long-range combat, but also elevates them out of reach from ground-based enemies. From this vantage point, the Raider can launch aerial assaults, adding a thrilling dimension to the gameplay.

While the trailer keeps the specifics of his attacks and abilities under wraps, the excitement around this character is palpable. Fans eager to experience the Raider's unique playstyle can now pre-order Nightreign. Pre-orders come with an exclusive in-game gesture, adding an extra layer of personalization to your gaming experience.
