The third of four character classes for Sacred Citadel, Deep Silver's side-scrolling brawler, was revealed during a trailer posted today.
The Ancarian Ranger is a long-range attacker who fights primarily with a bow and traps to ensnare different enemies. Previously revealed classes include the warrior and shaman. Check out the trailer above to watch the Ancarian Ranger in action.
Sacred Citadel is set within the same universe as action role-playing series Sacred. The brawler acts as a prologue to Sacred 3, which is scheduled for release in 2013.
Sacred Citadel is expected to release later this year for PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Steam for Windows PC.
