Elden Ring Developers Announce New Title: The Duskbloods
FromSoftware, the acclaimed studio behind the hit title Elden Ring, has just unveiled their latest project: The Duskbloods. This forthcoming multiplayer game is set to be an exclusive release for the Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Intriguing Reveal Trailer Sparks Fan Speculation
Staying true to FromSoftware‘s signature style, the reveal trailer presented a series of enigmatic and out-of-context visuals. The brief glimpses included a swordswoman brandishing a ringblade and a rocket-powered robot soaring through the air. Atmospheric scenes of a gothic castle and detailed cathedral interiors established a sense of foreboding. The trailer then took a bizarre turn, featuring unsettling moments like a character biting another’s neck and seemingly draining a dark substance, alongside a character undergoing a transformation into a T-Rex-like monster.
PvPvE Gameplay Experience Confirmed
The Duskbloods is described by FromSoftware as a PvPvE (Player versus Player versus Environment) experience. This gameplay style indicates that players will engage in combat against both other human players and computer-controlled enemies within the game world.
Narrative Details Remain Obscure, Developer Diary Anticipated
Adding to the mystery, the trailer featured a cryptic narration stating, “the moontears will flow for one and one alone,” which offered little in the way of plot clarification. However, fans eager for details can anticipate a developer diary featuring game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, scheduled to air on April 4th. This presentation is expected to shed more light on The Duskbloods and its intricate world.
Release Window
The Duskbloods is slated for release on Switch 2 in 2026. Given FromSoftware‘s impressive history of delivering high-quality and engaging games, anticipation for this new title is already building.
