Elden Ring Nightreign has introduced its sixth character, Raider, an exciting addition to the roster of playable characters in FromSoftware's upcoming multiplayer survival game. This axe-wielding Viking brings a robust and dynamic playstyle to the game, promising intense battles and strategic depth.

The Axe-Swinging Raider

Announced via a captivating Twitter (X) post on April 15, Raider's character trailer showcases his prowess as an aging Viking who fearlessly takes on foes with his mighty axe. In the trailer, Raider demonstrates his capability to deliver devastating heavy attacks, impressively challenging even a dragon single-handedly with one mighty swing.

Beyond his brute strength, Raider possesses the unique ability to summon a large monolith block. This not only serves as a strategic platform for him and his allies but also provides a significant advantage to long-range characters by elevating them out of reach from ground-based enemies. From this vantage point, Raider can unleash aerial attacks, adding a new layer of tactical gameplay.

While the trailer does not delve into the specifics of his attacks and abilities, the anticipation around Raider's role in Elden Ring Nightreign continues to grow. Fans eager to experience this new character can pre-order Nightreign to receive an exclusive in-game bonus gesture.
