FromSoftware has revealed new details about its upcoming Switch 2 exclusive game, The Duskbloods. In a recent interview, director Hidetaka Miyazaki discussed the challenges and creativity that influenced the game's development in partnership with Nintendo. One standout feature is the hub companion—a winged rat character adorned with glowing glyphs, intended to provide players with guidance similar to the fire keepers in Dark Souls. This shift towards a more whimsical design reflects the collaboration with Nintendo. Players can expect innovative gameplay elements when The Duskbloods is launched in 2026, showcasing FromSoftware's efforts to explore new ideas while maintaining their signature depth and complexity.

What type of gameplay can we expect in The Duskbloods?

Players can anticipate a PvPvE experience, which suggests that competition and cooperation with other players will play a significant role alongside traditional gameplay mechanics.

The Duskbloods marks a unique turn for FromSoftware as it blends its dark fantasy roots with a lighter, more approachable aesthetic reflecting its collaboration with Nintendo. Known for titles like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, the developer often incorporates deep lore and rich character interactions, which fans can expect to see in this new venture as well.
