Elden Ring Nightreign has introduced its sixth playable character, Raider, an axe-wielding Viking who promises to bring a unique flair to FromSoftware's upcoming multiplayer survival game.

The Axe-Swinging Raider

In a recent Twitter (X) post dated April 15, FromSoftware unveiled the character trailer for Raider, showcasing this aging Viking in action. Known for his heavy attacks, Raider doesn't shy away from taking on formidable opponents, including dragons, with a single, powerful blow. His ability to summon a large monolith block adds a strategic element to the gameplay, providing a platform for both himself and his allies. This feature not only helps long-range characters by elevating them out of reach from ground-based enemies but also allows Raider to launch surprise aerial attacks on his foes.

While the trailer does not delve into specific details about Raider's attacks and abilities, it leaves players intrigued and eager to learn more.
