Elden Ring Nightreign Character Reveals

The Axe-Swinging Raider

Elden Ring Nightreign is inching closer to its eagerly awaited release, and FromSoftware has been busy showcasing a diverse roster of characters for players to choose from. On April 15, through a captivating Twitter (X) post, FromSoftware introduced us to Raider, an aging Viking who swings his axe with fierce determination and enjoys a hearty drink of ale.

The trailer reveals that Raider is no stranger to heavy combat, capable of delivering devastating blows to his enemies. In a jaw-dropping scene, he even manages to uppercut a dragon with a single, powerful strike. But Raider's prowess isn't limited to brute strength; he can also summon a towering monolith that serves as a strategic platform. This not only provides a safe haven for long-range allies but also allows Raider to launch aerial assaults on his foes.

While the trailer leaves us wanting more details on his specific attacks and abilities, the excitement around Raider is undeniable. Fans can now pre-order Nightreign and receive an exclusive in-game gesture as a bonus.
