Numerous leaks have unfortunately revealed a lot more about Elden Ring than FromSoftware wanted. Enemies, biomes, combat mechanics, and even the character creator tool have slowly trickled into the light after the massive datamine during its network test in November last year. Thankfully, there was still a part of the promotional content that the publisher could control – the reveal of two new character classes which will be available at launch.
According to a tweet by the game’s official handle, the Vagabond is a “knight exiled from their homeland to wander.
A solid, armor-clad origin”, while the Hero is “at home with a battleaxe, descended from a badlands chieftain.” Not much else has been revealed about the two, besides the brief intros and images.
As for the characters we do know about, five classes were available to try out during the network test.
The Bloody Wolf looks like your everyday Souls character with a greatsword, medium armor, and a round shield to parry enemy attacks, while the Champion is a tank that focuses on heavy weapon damage and magical abilities.
The Enchanted Knight excels in the Strength and Intelligence department, but their key attribute is a shield that absorbs 100 percent damage.
Elden Ring is less than a month away – it launches on February 25 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
