The lead-up to the release ofElden Ring Nightreignon May 30 has included regular reveals of each of the game’s eight playable characters, aka Nightfarers. Melee and shout specialist Raider andarchery aficionado Ironeyewere the two most recent reveals, leaving only two left, which seem to have leaked via merchandise for the upcoming co-op action game.
Merchandise outletMeeToMatweeted an image of what appears to be keychains of the final two Nightfarers. The post has since been deleted, but was spotted by Reddit userTeasTaken. The product images suggestthe final twoElden Ring NightreignNightfarers are named Executor and Revenant. These keychains appear to be part of a lineup of merchandise that will be available at a FromSoftware games event in Tokyo and Osaka this spring. As merchandise, the keychains don’t really provide any new insight into each character’sNightreigngameplay mechanics, though it is interesting that Revenant is pictured holding a harp.

Executor & Revenant Round Out Nightreign’s Characters
All 8 Nightfarers Have Names Now
After they were revealed, Ironeye and Raider joined the four Nightfarers who were playable inElden Ring Nightreign’s Closed Network Test – Wylder, Guardian, Duchess, and Recluse – leaving only two slots remaining. It has been known sinceNightreign’s reveal at The Game Awards 2024that the game would launch with eight playable characters, though it has taken FromSoftware and publisher Bandai Namco a long time to officially reveal them all.Executor and Revenant finally round out the full roster, though this leak jumps the gun on their official reveal.
They are each likely to be spotlighted in a trailer showing off their abilities, as has been happening regularly with the others in the run-up toNightreign’s release.Revenant actually leaked once before, though their name was unknown until now.They’re a summoner who specializes in usingElden Ring’s Spirit Ash mechanics, being able to summon a massive, ghostly skeleton to fight alongside them. Executor remains more mysterious, though they do appear to be heavily armored in comparison.
FromSoft Should Reveal Nightreign’s Final Nightfarers Already
The Cat’s Out Of The Bag
Despite the release date forElden Ring Nightreignbeing about a month away,FromSoftware and Bandai Namco are being surprisingly cagey with new information, and it’s especially odd that the playable characters are taking so long to be revealed. Even stranger, what appeared to be the first four – those in the network test – haven’t all yet received gameplay showcase trailers fromBandai Namco’s YouTube channel. Wylder and Guardian remain revealed yet without dedicated character trailers, despite both of them (and Wylder especially) being prominent figures in the game’s marketing.
It’s understandable that the developer and publisher might want to save some reveals for closer to launch, but the characters are arguably one of the least pressing topics for potential players. With all eight known, and most of their abilities having been revealed or leaked, there are larger lingering questions regarding the game’s map variance and progression systems. More is certain to be revealed as the release ofElden Ring Nightreignapproaches, but it would be nice to have full details on all eight characters already, since there aren’t many secrets about them left.
