New Elden Ring Nightreign trailer is all about the archer class that wasn't in the beta, and this might be the first FromSoftware game where bows don't suck

Elden Ring Nightreign is a more streamlined experience than Elden Ring itself. Rather than making a build from scratch, you'll pick a class and level it up during each session. We didn't get to see the archer at work in the beta, but we've just gotten a new trailer for Ironeye, the bow and arrow-focused character that has nimble moves and finally makes the bow a genuinely useful weapon in a modern FromSoftware game.

We already knew the bow and arrow could do backstabs – backshots, if you will – and this new trailer shows off just how powerful they are in Nightreign. Let your teammates get up close and personal with the bosses, and as soon as they've worn them down, you can shoot them in the back to stagger them before dashing in to drive an arrow straight into their heart for a devastating critical hit. Finally, a Legolas simulator.
