FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have revealed a trailer for one of the last few Nightfarers in Elden Ring Nightreign: the Executor. This katana-wielder is made for close-quarters combat, dealing heavy damage with his swift sword strikes.
But the Executor has a few more tricks up his sleave. For one, he can parry attacks with his cursed sword ability. A successful parry then opens enemies up to a powerful repost. Fans of FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice should feel right at home with this Nightfarer.
And by the way, he can also transform into a beast. Yes, you heard that right. The Executor can go full Vincent Valentine and become a gargantuan-sized beast. Cue the Kaiju battles as Ken Watanabe watches from a distance and says “Let them fight.”
This likely solidifies Elden Ring Nightreign as a kind of “greatest hits” of FromSoftware games. Previously we saw how the Duchess gives players a Bloodborne-inspired build. And now with the Executor we’re bringing Sekiro into the fold.
The Executor has been a much-anticipated character, as he did not appear in the Network Test. He will be one of the eight playable characters in Elden Ring Nightreign:
Elden Ring Nightreign launches on May 30 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
