With Elden Ring set to launch in a little under two weeks, FromSoftware has been revealing more of the character classes you'll be able to play as. After revealing the Warrior, Enchanted Knight, Prophet, Champion and Bloody Wolf during the initial network test, the developer announced the Vagabond and the Hero last week. Most recently, we got a look at the Warrior and a rather strange looking Prisoner.
The devs have kept the ball rolling with the reveal of another pair of characters, the Bandit and the Astrologer. The former is a "dangerous bandit who strikes for weak points. Excels at ranged combat with bows." The name and description suggests that he will be similar to a rogue class. He doesn't appear to be wearing any armour, suggesting that he will work from the shadows and strike with his knife or bow when you least expect it.
The Astrologer is described as a "scholar who reads fate in the stars. Heir to the school of glintstone sorcery." She too isn't wearing any armour, just a robe with a pouch and some kind of amulet around her waist. Expectedly, her arsenal will include magic spells, casts, or summons of some sort.
