Elden Ring Nightreign Character Reveals

The Axe-Swinging Raider

As Elden Ring Nightreign gears up for its release, the excitement builds with the unveiling of multiple playable characters. On April 15, FromSoftware took to Twitter (X) to showcase the latest addition, Raider—an aging Viking known for his ferocious axe attacks. The character trailer highlights Raider's prowess as he delivers devastating blows, even challenging a dragon with a single, powerful strike.

Raider's abilities extend beyond brute strength; he can summon a massive monolith block that serves as an elevated platform. This strategic move not only protects long-range allies by placing them out of reach from ground-based enemies but also allows Raider to launch surprise attacks from above.

While the trailer leaves the specifics of Raider's attacks and abilities to the imagination, fans eager to dive into the game can pre-order Nightreign. Pre-ordering comes with the perk of an exclusive in-game gesture. For more details on pre-orders and the additional content offered by the game, be sure to check out our comprehensive article below!
