When we saw the announcement of The Duskbloods at the Nintendo Direct on April 2nd, we thought an online multiplayer title might not be the most exciting thing in the world to come from DeSoftware.
Elden Ring: Nightreign was responsible for dispelling these doubts, as it is a very notable multiplayer souls, which will receive a DLC called The Forsaken Hollows on December 4th.
FromSoftware’s next release will be The Duskbloods, the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game that will arrive in 2026. But are we facing a new AAA megaton from Miyazaki like Elden Ring was?
Insider Ziostorm, through YouTube, guarantees that the PvPvE of vampires (they are hybrids between bloodsuckers and humans) It’s a very ambitious gamewhich also has been in development since 2019.
Yes, The Duskbloods was already in the concept stage when FromSoftware and Activision were promoting Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, so it’s not just one project among many.
Ziostorm also says that It is not exclusive to ”please” Nintendobut an ambitious title that wants to lay the foundations for a new subgenre for the industry.
Duskbloods could appear at The Game Awards
It’s not certain, but FromSoftware’s new game could perhaps be at the event hosted by Geoff Keighley on December 11th, or at least that’s what this insider says in his latest video.
It also reveals that FromSoftware is waiting to release Nightreign DLC to start sharing news from The Duskbloods, so there’s a chance we’ll see it before the next fiscal year.
Another fact that gives hope is that we are facing the FromSoftware game that had the most prototypesto get the best version of its different mechanics.
Although The Duskbloods is a title focused on online multiplayer, it seems like it could also have mechanics closer to a traditional souls game.
He talks about contracts or missions that may influence about how players behave in subsequent games, and even about a new type of original concept This is neither battle royale nor an ”extraction shooter”.
All this and much more will be confirmed (or not) as the months go by, and perhaps the first stop will be The Game Awards 2025.
Duskbloods is in development by FromSoftwareand will be released exclusively (it seems not temporary) for nintendo switch 2 sometime in 2026, specially designed for the new hybrid console.
