Elden Ring: Nightreign Raider - Axe-Wielding, Ale-Drinking Dragon Fighter

Elden Ring Nightreign has unveiled its sixth playable character, the fearsome Raider, adding another layer of excitement to the highly anticipated game. Known for his axe-wielding prowess and ale-loving antics, this Viking-inspired warrior is set to bring a unique playstyle to the battlefield. As the game approaches its release date, players are eagerly anticipating the chance to join forces with Raider and explore the expansive world of Nightreign.

FromSoftware teased Raider in a recent Twitter (X) post on April 15th, showcasing his ability to handle formidable foes—even taking down a dragon single-handedly. With his heavy-hitting attacks and strategic use of a monolith block to create elevated platforms, Raider proves himself as both a formidable combatant and a valuable ally. His aerial advantage provides cover for ranged players while giving him the opportunity to strike from above.

Although specific details about his abilities remain under wraps, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Pre-orders for Elden Ring Nightreign are now available, offering players a special in-game gesture as a bonus.
