Elden Ringis easily one of the most highly-anticipated games of 2022, and soon fans will get to play it for themselves. TheElden Ringrelease date is merely weeks away at this point, and so FromSoftware has been showcasing more of the game lately to get fans excited. This has included new looks at some of the classes thatElden Ringplayers will be able to pick from come launch, with FromSoftware pulling the curtain back on yet another one.
The officialElden RingTwitter account has shared a new image of two of the game’s classes, showing off the Warrior and the Prisoner. TheElden RingWarrior classhas been known for quite some time, and it was even one of the options for those that participated in the game’s closed network tests. TheElden RingPrisoner class is new, and it stands out thanks to its rather creepy-looking design.

TheElden RingPrisoner class is notable for the iron mask that covers most of its head. According to the lore, the Prisoner class “studied in glintstone sorcery” and “lived among the elite” prior to their sentencing. Having their head stuck in an iron mask is somewhat reminiscent of theElden RingProphet class, which has what appears to be a wagon wheel around their neck.
As far as the Warrior class goes, FromSoftware has said that the Warrior class is a “nomad warrior who fights wielding two blades at once. An origin of exceptional technique.” Needless to say, the Warrior class inElden Ringis a lot more straightforward than the Prisoner class. However, the Prisoner class has a more unique design and flavorful backstory, so it will be interesting to see whichElden Ringclassesplayers select come launch day.
Of course, the Warrior and Prisoner classes inElden Ringare just the tip of the iceberg. There are a number of otherElden Ringclasses that players can choose from, like the aforementioned Prophet, the Vagabond, the Hero,the Bloody Wolf, and others. Some of the classes still have yet to be revealed at the time of this writing, including the Wretch, the Bandit, the Astrologer, and the Samurai, butElden Ringfans can expect FromSoftware to showcase these designs sooner rather than later.
While these particularElden Ringclasses have not been fully revealed to the public yet, FromSoftware has revealed some details about them. For example, the Wretch will likely be thehardest class to play inElden Ring, with game director Hidetaka Miyazaki describing it as the “naked' character. It remains to be seen exactly where the Warrior and Prisoner classes fall on the difficulty spectrum, but fans can find out for themselves come launch day.
