The Axe-Swinging Raider

As Elden Ring Nightreign gears up for its release, the excitement continues to build with the introduction of several intriguing characters. On April 15, FromSoftware took to Twitter (X) to showcase their latest character trailer featuring Raider, an aging Viking known for his ferocious axe swings and unyielding spirit in battle.

The trailer highlights Raider's ability to unleash heavy attacks, demonstrating his prowess by single-handedly confronting a dragon with a single, powerful blow. Additionally, Raider can summon a large monolith block, creating a strategic platform for both himself and his allies. This feature not only aids long-range characters by making it challenging for enemies to reach them but also allows Raider to launch surprise attacks from above.

While the trailer does not delve into the specifics of Raider's attacks and abilities, fans eager to experience Nightreign can now pre-order the game to receive an exclusive in-game gesture.
