The news comes courtesy of Famitsu (thanks, Nintendo Life), with the publication reporting that FromSoftware unveiled two new character classes during the “FromSoftware Games Event Spring 2025.” The classes in question are “Knight of Ides” and “Heavy Knight,” and while we don’t know what stats or equipment they boast, it sounds like the Heavy Knight has big armor, so the chances are it comes with a good endurance stat and some good vitality to make it a solid defensive option. Not everyone wants to run around and dodge, so having a starting class that can tank some hits with good armor and a large stamina bar would be a real boon. Having said that, I typically start with the Samurai class because I like to run around sans shield and do some dual-wielding. As for the Knights of Ides class, it’s a bit more difficult to pin down, but my guess is that it emphasizes melee with some strong starting spells, giving people who want a mixture of magic and swords a great starting option.
