Elden Ring Nightreign Character Reveals
The Axe-Swinging Raider
Elden Ring Nightreign is building momentum toward its highly anticipated release, with FromSoftware steadily revealing the roster of playable characters for their upcoming multiplayer survival experience. On April 15, the studio dropped the latest character trailer on Twitter (X), introducing Raider—a grizzled, ale-drinking warrior whose brute strength and tactical prowess make him a force to be reckoned with.
Clad in rugged Viking-inspired armor and wielding a massive axe, Raider charges into combat with devastating power. The trailer showcases his incredible strength, including a dramatic moment where he delivers a single, explosive uppercut to a dragon—taking down the beast solo in a display of raw might. Beyond his offensive capabilities, Raider brings tactical value to the team by summoning a towering monolith. This stone platform serves as an elevated vantage point, giving allies—especially ranged fighters—a strategic advantage by keeping enemies at bay while enabling aerial attacks.
While specific details about his full move set and abilities remain under wraps, Raider’s playstyle appears to blend frontline aggression with team support, making him a versatile pick in combat scenarios.
Players eager to join the fray can now pre-order Elden Ring Nightreign to unlock an exclusive in-game gesture. For more information on pre-order bonuses, available editions, and upcoming DLCs, check out our full coverage below!
