FromSoftware Reveals Latest Elden Ring: Nightrein Nightfarer
Deadly precision. The ethos of the Iron Eye, the newest Nightfarer to be revealed in Elden Ring: Nightrein, is dealing damage from afar with ranged attacks. Starting with a bow and specializing with dexterity-based weapons, the Iron Eye adds damage and utility to any party brave enough to sojourn into Limveld. Keen players will also recognize the utility that ranged attacks bring – being able to revive downed party members from afar can make the difference between successfully surviving the night or failing to see the next day during a run. While the Iron Eye starts with ranged attacks and features ranged ultimate abilities, as with all Nightfarers, they can use any weapon discovered during runs.
Elden Ring: Nightrein releases on May 30 on PC and Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Enter the Gungeon 2 and STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions Revealed
Devolver Digital hits us with a one-two punch when it revealed this week that sequels to two great games are in the pipeline.
STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions will take players on a multiplayer voyage of discovery, cooperative expeditions and camaraderie across the cosmos. Exploring deep space on the ESS Starseeker, players will need to work together with the entire crew of the space station to complete planet-wide objectives across a multitude of star systems using cutting-edge technology.
Players will have an advanced set of tools at their disposal to tackle expeditions while they face off with the unknown perils of space: fascinating creatures, hazardous flora and mysterious forces that await them.
The ESS Starseeker is the heart of the experience, a persistent, ever-evolving space station where players get together to plan expeditions, upgrade their capabilities and hang out with other space adventurers. STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions places player freedom at the forefront, but a larger story lies in wait for those curious enough to uncover it.
Enter the Gungeon 2 is a reloaded, high-caliber sequel to the iconic bullet hell dungeon crawler, reinforced with a new 3D art style, new weapons and enemies and expanded gameplay.
Battle through areas familiar and unknown as the ruined Gungeon reveals its secrets to those brave enough to enter. Discover, unlock and master fantastic weaponry within its procedurally generated halls and destroy the legions of Gundead pouring forth from within.
Charge into dynamic battles against devilishly cute enemies, previously confined to the 2D plane, and delight as they are knocked around, tossed into the air and thrown deep into pits.
Choose from an expanding roster of Gungeoneers full of both familiar and new faces as you rescue and extract marooned heroes from the depths of the Gungeon. Become mighty through unexpected combinations of powerful passive items, explosive active items, blessings, curses and your own mastery over an impressive armory of weapons.
