WithElden Ring’s release date right around the corner, FromSoftware has been revealing art for the various classes that players will get to choose from in the game. In some cases, this has included fans' first-ever look at these classes, as is the case with the recently revealed Confessor and Samurai classes that were unveiled byElden Ringthrough its social media accounts.
WhenElden Ringlaunches, players will get to choose from 10 classes. Five of these classes were available in theElden Ringclosed network tests, whereas the other five have remained a mystery, until now. With the reveal of the Confessor and Samurai classes inElden Ring, the only class that has not been shown off is the Wretch class.

Along with revealing what the Confessor and Samurai classes will look like inElden Ring, the developers also provided some background on their lore. The Confessor class inElden Ringis said to be a church spy that’s “adept at covert operations.” The Confessor class is good with a sword as well as “incantations,” indicating that they may be a good choice forElden Ringplayersthat want a healthy mix of melee and magic abilities.
The Samurai class inElden Ring, meanwhile, is going to be more about physical combat. Hailing from the Land of Reeds, as opposed toElden Ring’s Lands Between world, the Samurai class is “handy with katana and longbows.” So while the Samurai class inElden Ringmay not be the best pick for someone who wants to focus on magic, they should still provide players plenty of close- and long-range options.
With the reveal of the Confessor and Samurai classes, all theElden Ringclasseshave been revealed except for the aforementioned Wretch class. It’s unclear exactly why that is, but perhaps the Wretch class will be shown off between now and when theElden Ringrelease date rolls around at the end of the month. While the Wretch class itself hasn’t been shown off just yet, we do know some details about it.
According to FromSoftware, theWretch class inElden Ringwill be something that gives players a significant challenge. It’s been described as the “naked” class, so that could be a reason why it hasn’t gotten a character portrait reveal like the otherElden Ringclasses have so far. In any case,Elden Ringfans should have enough information now to go decide which class they would like to play as come launch.
Elden Ringlaunches February 25 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
