Elden Ring: Nightreign Unveils the Revenant Class

Elden Ring Nightreign’s dropping soon, and I gotta say, the trailer is something else. So, imagine this—a summoner class. They call it, well, folks are saying “Revenant,” but who really knows with all the rumors, right? Anyway, the game’s officially out on May 30, but let’s circle back to this mystifying summoner thing. Spirit Ashes—yeah, they’re back in play.

First heard about this game back at The Game Awards, December 2024. Time flies, eh? Not your traditional Elden Ring setup, this one’s kinda like a co-op spin-off, promising new heroes called Nightfarers. They’ve been dropping hints slowly, like breadcrumbs leading to… I dunno, a dragon or something. Did I mention it’s releasing soon? Oh, right, I did. Too much caffeine today.

So, this launch trailer’s got folks buzzing. There’s this Nightfarer—it’s around the 42-second mark—summons this massive skeleton. It’s wild. Earlier whispers were hinting at a class centered on Spirit Ashes, and here we are, staring at this skeletal beast. It’s ethereal, ghostly, and doesn’t give a rat’s tail about subtlety. Classic FromSoftware vibe, but with a twist.

Speaking of twists, new baddies pop up too. Check out this electric dragon—mid-video, breathing lightning like it’s nobody’s business. Gotta admit, if Elden Ring bosses taught me anything, it’s to expect the unexpected. Erratic bites, big jaws—the whole deal. And don’t forget the half-horse, half-human creature leaping onto rock slabs like it’s late for a date.

Alright, class talk. So, Nightfarers aren’t your typical Elden Ring lineup. In the original, classes were like choosing a starting point on a map—once you set sail, it didn’t much matter. Here, though? Classes come with built-in quirks—strengths, weaknesses, and maybe a bit of sass. Picture a build that feels broken but in a kinda brilliant way. Especially if the loot gods smile upon you.

Revenant class? Likely a crowd favorite. Spirit Ashes really spice things up, and I’m all for that subtle difficulty slider. Remember how in the original game, they sorta played with difficulty alongside the Vitality attribute? Yeah, feels like déjà vu—but in a good way.

And then there’s multiplayer—yep, online antics await with up to three pals. Though who’s to say the Steam Deck will join the party, right? May 30, 2025, people! Mark your calendars and maybe clear out some gaming disk space because Nightreign is coming in hot.

Or not. I dunno, I just work here.
